Das Kranzbach

The old Kranzbach is back! We were pleased to see the positive changes which have occurred since our last visit, specifically the time change for dinner seatings. You got it just right! We've been visiting Kranzbach consistently since 2016 and absolutely love this property. The setting, rooms and staff are all incredible. It's a wonderful place to relax and re-charge! Nochmals vielen Dank und bis bald!

Phenomenal Hotel with amazing food, service, rooms. Only thing they could improve would be adding in air conditioning in the top rooms... something they are planing to do next year.

Amazing place to have break to relax. It is a really remote location surrounded by an impressive mountain panorama. The good thing is that the hotel doesn’t make you miss anything. Great food always with vegetarian options. Nice pool and an activity program that helps to disconnect from your day to day job. Perfect place for a short break … we went their with our dog and the hotel did everything to welcome also this little fellow … perfect terrain for hiking also with the dog ..

This place is a dream. Our room was in the Mary Portman house, it was spacious, spotless clean and beautiful. We were lucky with the weather, we had a lot of snow, which made the whole area like a picture perfect Christmas movie scene. We spent 3 refreshing nights there. Food and cakes are delicious. Wellness area amazing. Outside pools in a beautiful garden with mountain views. Saunas all with breath taking views to the pine trees and mountains. Lots of rooms to rest afterwards, the beds are very comfy there, too. Just amazing. Service was very polite, friendly and helpful. Also, we were there on Nikolaus day, and we got some Nikolaus chocolate from the hotel, which was a very sweet gesture. There's a lot of things to do there, outside activities (hike, snow shoeing, etc), inside facilities (gym, game room, library, darts room, etc) Go, if you have a chance, very very recommended, we loved it there. 😍 Thanks for hosting us!!

Due to COVID and a move to Europe from North America, it had been 4 years since we stayed at this lovely property. After such a long time, we didn't know what to expect, but were happily suprised that almost everything was the same as before. The staff throughout the hotel is gracious and does an amazing job. The accommodations in our old room were consistent and extremely comfortable. The spa services and staff were exemplary. ||||Our only disappointment was that the hotel is now crowded (post COVID) and the guests are not just the well-heeled Germans like before. Kranzbach has been discovered. There were more mobile phones and louder conversations than we remembered during our multiple stays in the past. The dinner is a bit frantic with staff constantly coming and going, but the food is excellent. We specifically want to recognise Thomas, Magdalena, Stefan and Hans (from the pool cafe) for their kindness during our stay. It was good to see a few familair faces. Danke!||||Change is inevitable, but we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to coming back soon.

I take out one star for one important reason. This place is rated as 5 stars and I don't feel it is. Is a really nice place but you don't feel luxury at all. Is just nice and cozy, nothing else.||Besides that, I really love spending there two nights. The spa area, pool, sauna, relaxing rooms are very comfortable to spent all day!||The food is average. For my taste every dish I tried was or too salty or too sweet. Food is a great area of opportunity for this hotel. ||The gym is ok. Is not a complete gym but for a fast workout it's ok.||The rooms in Mary P House are nice. I didn't like the lighting. The light was too white. Would be much better if they use yellowish (warmer) light. Yellow light is the key to coziness.||The views (landscape) are amazing.

Amazing experience! We stayed 2 nights in the treehouse which is secluded and gorgeous! The rest of the hotel and rooms are beautiful too. The food is fantastic, the staff are excellent, can't do enough for you. Loads of activities available at the hotel and surrounding area.

On a roadtrip we just spent one night at the hotel. A double room at the mary porter house with nice english flair. Great dinner, awesome breakfast, and a great selection of cakes for the afternoon. The possibility to stay the whole day after checking out until 6pm-using pool all indoor/outdoor facilities and a light lunch free of charges is very special! |A place we definitelly recommend!!

From the reviews here you can see that this is hotel frequented predominantly by Germans tourist. However, while I don't speak much Germany, I was made to feel comfortable. The service, while rather typically Bavarian stiff, was excellent. I stayed in the new wing where the rooms are more than adequate in size. We had a ground-level room where there was a small porch which led out onto the lawn. This overlooked beautiful woods and the Alps. The views from this property are absolutely stunning. The bathroom had both shower and tub with private and separate toilet area. Bathroom was quite large with heated floor. As is the case with many European hotels the hallways leading to the rooms are a little bit stark and dark. In defense of this practice it is energy-efficient. The main attraction of this hotel is the spa area which is expansive and beautiful. The spa is focused on relaxation with multiple pools of varying temperature and multiple sauna areas, both steam and dry. Numerous spa treatments are available including various forms of massage. However, the deep tissue massage I had was only fair to good. Check in advance as some of the spa treatment selections were not available but listed. There is a large restaurant where breakfast lunch and dinner is served. The service as noted above is excellent. The food was excellent with a focus on more health items including gluten-free choices, not typical in this area of Germany. Also included with your room rate an afternoon juice bar area. WiFi was included with room rate and was robust as far as band width. This is probably related to recent infrastructure upgrades in anticipation of G8 meeting scheduled at the hotel next year. While not extremely expensive in the summer months I cannot comment what this hotel would charge in the winter time. I do suspect that the rates are much higher as this hotel would be an absolutely perfect base for skiing the multiple Alpine resorts in this area. I highly recommend this hotel and plan to return.
