Hotel Kaufmann
Alpine wellness hotel with Bavarian warmth. Rooms range from clean and minimalist in the newer wing to cosier, more traditional in the older part. Family-run in the truest sense — the Kaufmann family are present and hands-on.
Room prices include half-board (dinner) as standard — factor this into value comparisons with other hotels in the area
Why It Matters
Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant (seven consecutive years as of last listing), an unusually generous spa for its category including a glass-walled pool house with panoramic mountain views, and half-board included in all room rates as standard.
Hotel Kaufmann started life as a country inn and is now a well-run 4-star family hotel on the edge of Roßhaupten, with big views toward the Allgäu Alps and Neuschwanstein castle. The 2011 expansion added polished suites, a seriously impressive pool house, and a sauna landscape that punches well above the hotel's price point. The restaurant holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand — earned seven-plus years running — and sources almost everything locally: fish from Lake Forggensee, meat from Allgäu farmers, game from nearby forests.
