What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The rooms work in pale oak and sand tones, with some prestige categories featuring an indoor hanging chair that is either charming or eccentric depending on your disposition.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
The Neumagen river and Kurpark footpaths run right outside the door. Freiburg is an easy trip north.
The rooms
Calm, uncluttered bedrooms lean on natural timbers, unvarnished surfaces, and private balconies overlooking the Kurpark greenery.
The water
Bring a swimsuit.
The spa and baths
Three timber saunas sit beside quiet curtained alcoves. A walkway connects straight to the vaulted Vita Classica thermal pools.
Restaurant
Nouri Taste
Alsatian chef Didier Sifferlen oversees tri-border regional cooking, with tables stretching onto a terrace beside the Neumagen river.
Bar
Nouri View
Moroccan lanterns and trailing greenery hang across the lounge, where guests take evening cocktails overlooking the Black Forest.
How it began
The name draws from the Arabic word for light, chosen by a local father-daughter team to signal whole-body nourishment.
