Michelin Selected
Michelin
a wellness-oriented resort with a substantial spa offering that combines modern architecture and design with the timeless charm of a classic country house.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
In the countryside of Weselerwald, bordered by woods and a golf course outside Schermbeck.

The rooms
Landstil rooms use warm natural timbers, and their balconies look straight out across the adjacent golf course.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
A heated indoor pool sits beside hanging wicker chairs, and the outdoor pool stays warm through every season.
The saunas and gym
A glass panorama sauna looks out over the grounds, and curved wooden treadmills line the gym.
At the table
Lindenstube serves seasonal tasting menus beneath the timber trusses of a converted barn, and the lobby bar pours evening drinks.
How it began
The name translates to Fox Hill in local dialect, where Wilhelm and Johanna Blumberg opened a roadside tavern in 1872.

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.
