Pleasant enough hotel but not of the standard I would expect from Relais and Chateaux.
It is spotlessly clean and has good facilities but the decor is terrible , think of a Barvarian Laura Ashley on speed and you get the picture. This isnt the end of the world but not reflective of the high end Relais and Chateaux establishments I know from UK or indeed of the many Austrian ski hotels I have visited.

I only experienced the hald board menu which was perfectly acceptable and pleasant but nothing to suggest that it originated froma celebrated kitchen

My partner and I stayed here just for one night while enroute through the Black Forest to Baden Baden (see other review). We had booked a standard double but upon check-in paid an excess to upgrade to a suite that had a seperate bath and shower stall - a configuration that we prefer if possible. Reception was helpful and quick in arranging this and our bags were taken swiftly from our car to the room. The room was extremely spacious, superbly clean and decorated in a rather 'bright German yellow pattern style' - not our taste but never-the-less very nice. The only downside which I found very annoying was to have a wonder big shower stall but a shower that gave very poor pressure (I think this was because of the very large shower head); it seems a small gripe but it would really put me off returning because I do like a good shower!

We ate in the 'formal' dining room which was in fact pleasurably casual and the food was 10/10. We chose the filet steak and it was the finest we have ever had (and we eat well!) Dinner wasn't cheap but was worth it.

What was NOT worth the money was the two massages we took in the spa. Both my partner and I were extremely dissapointed with these - both were cut short of time and I had a very strange experience where the masseur simply vanished from the room not saying a word that he had finished, leaving me laying there wondering if the treatment was over and if he was coming back. After five or six minutes of laying there like an fool, I got up and went out the room to find him on the telephone! He did vaguely apologise but this is simply not good procedure. The massage was very very light and could best be described as a light rub - absolutely did nothing to my very aching and tired body.

I also had a facial treatment with Jessica, a delighful lady. It was a very simple facial but was quite good. She was very helpful, even answering an email afterwards wherby I enquired about the products that she had used. It would have been nicer to have a more 'medical' facial - I had hoped maybe that microderm would be available but it was not.

The spa area was very pleasant, the pool very clean - everything worked and it was not at all busy. The only thing we found slightly annoying was that it all closed at 7pm and we would have liked to use it later but then we were on a flying visit. I'm sure if you are staying more than one day, this would not inconvenience you.

The hotel itself is much more beautiful than even the pictures show - in a very calm location and set in an area where you could see some wonderful parts of the Black Forest - waterfalls, lakes, walks etc. Parking was free (not covered) and very very easy. All the staff were superb (except massage!), breakfast was a feast, cleanliness was 10/10 and the lounge area with lots of interesting books was a lovely place to relax.

All in all a very nice (rather expensive) stay and I would definitely return if they sort out the shower pressure and get a good sports masseur! The hotel is well suited to both Summer and Winter stays - it must be extremely cosy in the snow!

Very relaxing stay in one of the suites. Location is quiet. Room well appointed. Food in the gourmet restaurant was good and different from usual Black Forest fare. Dinner in the Charmi Husli 2nd restaurant was more convivial. Our room was overlooking the back garden and the central garden area. Service across the stay was excellent except for the locale where we were placed for dinner (like a snug pub area) and uncomfortable. Pictures say more than the words. Locale is good for a drive to Bodensee and hiking. Some great waterfalls within 20 mile radius. Take the summer rodelbahn ride.

Relais & Châteaux Hotel Adler was recommended by a friend for travelling the South Black Forest. We very much enjoyed our four nights stay here. Our room was lovely, SPA was not too large but with different saunas and steam rooms as well as a pool. The food in both their restaurants as well as the half board menu was outstanding and all staff went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect. The area is ideal for hiking. We took our Labrador along which was no problem at all, we were even allowed to take her to their gourmet restaurant where we could sit in a little separated original Black Forest Parlor.
