"The Berchtesgaden Alps have welcomed travelers of all sorts, from mountaineers, sanatorium residents, eco-tourists, and sports junkies to the Romantics of yesteryear. Rising from the ashes of an old-school luxury hotel, Kulturhof Stanggass instead fixes its gaze firmly on the future. Don’t worry, you’ll still get a knockout panorama of the Watzmann massif every morning — but you’ll also swap anecdotes over long tables and live music in the beer garden. Take a bracing morning plunge in the natural pool, or finally dig into Thomas Mann in the stillness of your blonde-wood balcony. Clean, simple, healthy, eternal: let these be your bywords as you drink in nature’s magnum opus." - Tablet Hotels
