Alpenhof Murnau
Alpine luxury nature retreat — think warm timber, elegant mountain aesthetics, and a genuine connection to Bavarian landscape rhythms. Not stuffy. Busy with families and couples.
Book the Panorama double room for parquet floors — it's the best choice for allergy sufferers and comes with unobstructed mountain views
Why It Matters
Ranked in the top 25 of 'The 101 Best Hotels in Germany' (3rd place in luxury hideaways category), and consistently named among Bavaria's elite properties alongside Schloss Elmau. The combination of elite spa facilities, direct moorland access, and a wine list topping 1,000 labels is hard to match at this price level outside Munich.
A 5-star nature resort sitting directly on the edge of the Murnauer Moos — Germany's largest intact moorland. The hotel is in the middle of an ongoing transformation, with rolling investments and renovations, but the service and warmth from host Christian Bär and his team has stayed consistent throughout. The Wetterstein and Ester mountains are framed in every window, and the surroundings dictate the pace here: what's on the menu, when the pools open, which trails are best. The 2,000 sqm wellness area with its outdoor alpine sauna village is the real draw for most guests.
