What it’s good at
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The emphasis here at the Tannenhof is on sports and spa facilities with a wellness range extending from beauty treatments to yoga, physiotherapy and excellent indoor and outdoor tennis courts and lessons.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Hiking paths and winter ski tracks run right past the grounds, leading through the hills toward the Austrian border.
The rooms
Rooms in the timber wing use natural wood and regional fabrics, looking straight out over the Allgäu meadows.
The pool and gym
Bring a swimsuit.
A 22-meter heated infinity pool looks out over the grounds, and the gym sits beneath pitched white-beamed ceilings.
The saunas
The outdoor barn sauna is built from weathered timber. Inside, curved wooden benches line a bio-sauna looking over the hills.
The spa
Treatment rooms are panelled in pale timber for singing bowl massages, and quiet lounges are lined with padded daybeds.
At the table
Kaminbar pours drinks beside the fireplace, and multi-course dinners move between wood-panelled dining rooms and garden terraces.
How it began
The Langes family opened two indoor courts in 1981 so they could play tennis through winter, adding guest rooms three years later.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.

It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.

Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.

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.
