I have been coming to the Schloss for years. Each time gets better and better. The service, the staff, the food, the spa, the amazing massages (I especially recommend the Tuina massage) and (free!) yoga and pilates classes were great. the most original thing I have ever seen in a five star hotel is that you will get robes with...

“another wonderful stay”

Reviewed 4 May 2012

I just had another wonderful time. Gorgeous views, excellent food, attentive service... my housekeepers were especially brilliant, the Ananda cafe server sweet and welcoming. I always think I may wander off the property, but, no - just back to the pool. I feel very well taken care of here. As a "new regular" it was great to meet up with... More

There was always the idea in my mind to visit Schloss Elmau. I heard about them, and thought it might be a nice combination of spa, food and culture. Indeed, this is what you can expect from the Schloss Elmau. Positive was the setting in the mountains, the nice bookshop, the different restaurants and the spa area. Unfortunately, at the... More

Dear tomundjerryPrague, My name is Nikolai Bloyd, and I am the General Manager of Schloss Elmau. I have debated over the last weeks whether or not I should respond to you review, since you clearly stated that you did not want a response. However I feel it is an unfair one sided commentary which you made and therefore would like... More

“Schloss Elmau: what a relaxing place!”

Reviewed 20 February 2012

My husband and I stayed in Schloss Elmau for 4 nights. We arranged a airport pick up which was great because it was very snowy so it was very easy to just hop in the car that was just in front of the airport. February is a very busy time for the hotel so it was fully booked. The only... More

“A truly magical place with superb service”

Reviewed 8 January 2012

We met up with my extended family at Schloss Elmau to spend the most memorable Christmas ever. For four nights and days, our party of 10 was spoiled rotten by the fairy-tale beauty of the magical surroundings and the magnificent hotel which is exquisitely decorated, elegant, yet very cozy and warm. I don't even know where to begin to describe... More

“A piece of heaven in Bavarian country”

Reviewed 5 January 2012

I went on my wife's recommendation and can now only recommend anyone looking for a perfect mix of cultural, physical, nutritious and pampering environment to take a few days there. The variety of rooms will cater for all - more character features in the main building and more contemporary in the newly added Wetterstein Fluge. The choice of restaurants is... More
