What it’s good at
Notable
Sleek contemporary furnishings and moody hues reinterpret traditional Bavarian woodcraft.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The 35 rooms mix extravagant interiors with Bavarian materials: teal velvet sofas, curved forms, dark ceilings and warm timber details.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Forest trails lead straight up the Silberberg from the hotel, and the historic silver mine sits a short walk away.

The rooms
Curved forms, saturated tones, and warm regional woodcraft furnish bedrooms tailored for relaxed, slow-paced mornings.
The pool and gym
Bring a swimsuit.
An indoor pool heated to 32 degrees sits beneath plaster arches, and the gym holds Matrix cardio machines.
The sauna and whirlpool
An outdoor whirlpool sits on the terrace against mountain views, and a Finnish sauna is lined with slatted timber.
At the table
Breakfast includes a DIY egg station, and three-course dinners are served at marble tables lined with velvet chairs.
How it began
The property operated for decades as a traditional family-run guesthouse before the local Oswald family rebuilt it in 2022.

How we rate hotels.

The eight vibes
Design
Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
