What it’s good at
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The historic Weyberhöfe buildings (originally a hunting lodge dating back to 1265) have been tastefully refurbished with high-quality materials and individual designs successfully combining both classic and modern styles.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The historic Kurfürstenweg trail runs right past the estate, leading directly into the walking routes of the Spessart forest.
The rooms
Rooms look out across the inner courtyard and gardens, pairing classic estate architecture with crisp, contemporary furnishings.
The indoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The indoor pool is heated to 28°C under pitched timber beams, with floor-to-ceiling glass looking onto the estate grounds.
Saunas and hammams
A 90°C Finnish sauna sits alongside two Turkish marble hammams finished with carved basins and central heated stones.
The spa and gym
Treatment rooms host massage rituals and body scrubs, and the fitness room has cardio machines and weights.
At the table
Restaurant Rumpolt serves seasonal cuisine from an open kitchen, and Weyberbar pours drinks among exposed brick and leather armchairs.
How it began
Archbishop Daniel Brendel von Homburg rebuilt the manor in 1580, leaving his carved stone coat of arms above the south portal.
