When we pulled in, the place was crowded with cameras as the VfB Stuttgart football team had just arrived! Yup, actual celebrities. Despite the crowd, an attentive hotel attendant came directly to our car, helped with our luggage, and parked it in the garage.
Our room wasn’t quite ready, but we made ourselves comfortable in the lobby and ordered from the hotel kitchen. The food was delicious and beautifully presented, and yes, priced on the higher side, but fitting for a 5-star establishment. As a sweet anniversary touch, the hotel gifted us two drink vouchers for the bar! Once our room was ready, a front desk staff member personally found us, gave a brief yet informative introduction to the hotel’s amenities and walked us up to our room while pointing out the amenities. Our luggage was promptly brought up afterward. Inside, we were greeted with complimentary minibar items, a beautiful cake with small treats, a chilled bottle of champagne, and a letter congratulating us. The room itself was spotless, serene, and a super comfy bed. Each day, we received 2 new water bottles, placed outside our door when the “Do Not Disturb” sign was up.
Breakfast was another highlight, an expansive buffet with everything from hot dishes and cold cuts to fresh fruits, cheeses, pastries, and cereal. The freshly pressed orange juice hit the spot, and the coffee was exceptional.
The hotel’s wellness area didn’t disappoint either. The indoor pool was spacious and relaxing, complemented by a great hot tub. The gym was surprisingly large for a hotel setup: well-equipped with a bench press, cable machines, a full rack of dumbbells (up to 30kg), pull-up and dip bar, and plenty of cardio machines. There was also a smaller outdoor pool and a private beach area by the lake, complete with loungers and discreet access to the water.
Upon checkout, the staff helped us book a restaurant for the road, and sent us off with complimentary water bottles and snacks for our drive home, a thoughtful final touch to an already exceptional stay. And yes, we will definitely come back again!
