If I could give this place 6 stars, I would. Located in the town of Rottach-Egern on the lake Tegernsee, this is pure luxury in a very relaxed surrounding. The town is a bit of the playground for the rich and famous and is lined with boutiques, antique shops, art galleries and fashion galore.
This hotel is home to the only three Michelin star restaurant in Bavaria and unfortunately, it was closed for annual holidays during our visit. That alone will bring me back here again. There are three other restaurants here and a nice lobby bar. There is a spa here that is huge and very well equipped. There are multiple sauna & steam rooms (note: this is a nude area only), swimming pool with a kids pool, hot and cold tubs, relaxation room, a library, a cafe, big gym, yoga/aerobics room and, a full service spa with a large menu of treatments. I absolutely loved the spa and saunas. You can also go to the spa for day use but, you need to book it in advance, if you are not staying at the hotel.
The rooms are very well appointed and functional. The beds are super comfortable and some of the rooms have a balcony. The bathrooms are well appointed and you get all the supplies you need in there. Attention to detail is very good. If you want English paper in the morning it's not a problem. Our room also had a tablet that you could use to order food, book spa and restaurants, information, extend or change your reservation and request late checkout. It was a wonderful addition to the room. Wifi was great and available everywhere in the hotel. Pets are allowed for an extra charge and they had a bed and a big bowl of food waiting for the arrival of Samy, our dog. His eyes were lit up the moment he walked into the room ;-)) Note that dogs are not allowed in the restaurants and the spa area. Dog sitting services are available on request and can be booked at reception.
The thing that made this place super special for me was the service. It was fantastic and the staff were so welcoming and friendly. This was common throughout the hotel and the restaurants. That alone will bring me back here. The finest service I have experienced in a hotel in Germany to date.
We loved it and whilst it's not cheap, I would come back here in a heartbeat. Such places are hard to find in Europe. The overall experience made us want more and we almost considered extending for another night, however, our schedule did not permit it.
