Berchtesgaden
Modern alpine luxury. Clean lines and natural materials with genuine warmth — think sophisticated mountain lodge, not formal city hotel. The oakwood lobby floors, oversized lampshades, and mounted stag's head set the tone.

Why It Matters
The two-Michelin-starred Restaurant PUR puts this well above typical ski-resort dining. The penthouse duplex suites come with private 40 sqm rooftop terraces. And the hotel was the first in the entire Kempinski group to introduce a dedicated Activity Concierge role — a concept born here in 2015.
A five-star resort perched 1,000 meters above sea level on Eckerbichl, with the full panorama of Watzmann, Untersberg, and Kehlstein right outside every window. The horseshoe-shaped building uses floor-to-ceiling glass facades so mountain views come from virtually every corner. Interiors lean into natural materials — wood, loden, leather — with enough polish to feel genuinely upscale without being stiff. Opened under Kempinski's flag in 2015, the hotel counts 138 rooms and suites, a 1,400 sqm spa, four dining venues, and a two-Michelin-starred restaurant.
Where You'll Stay
9 room types available
Deluxe Panorama View Room
West-facing panoramic mountain views and modern interiors. Sleeps up to three, making it one of the larger-occupancy standard room options. The full western panorama is the headline feature here.
42 sqmDeluxe Panorama View Room with Fireplace
The full western panorama plus an in-room fireplace. One of the most atmospheric standard room options in the hotel for a winter stay.
42 sqmDeluxe Terrace Room
Private terrace with a westward mountain panorama. The west-facing rooms catch the late afternoon and sunset light over the peaks — the better view for evening arrivals.
42 sqmMountain View Room
Steps up to 42 sqm and faces east toward the mountains. Bright and modern, sleeps up to three guests — a decent option for families or a parent and two kids. The eastward orientation means good morning mountain light.
42 sqmMountain View Room with Fireplace
Same footprint and eastward mountain orientation as the standard Mountain View Room, but with the addition of a fireplace. Makes a real difference on cold alpine evenings.
42 sqm
Panorama Suite
A proper 75 sqm suite with a separate living room, lounge area with fireplace, and panoramic mountain views. Located on the 2nd and 3rd floors. Bathroom includes a bathtub and rain shower. A connecting room is possible — good for families.
75 sqmPenthouse Duplex Suite
The headline room. A two-level, 154 sqm duplex suite with a private 40 sqm rooftop terrace complete with sun loungers — your own alpine penthouse. The upper floor holds a separate living room with fireplace connected by an internal staircase. Walk-in closet, two bathrooms, and room for up to four guests. The Michelin Guide singles these out specifically as first-rate.
154 sqmSuperior Room
The entry-level room, and still a solid 32 sqm. Garden-facing rather than mountain-facing, which is the trade-off for paying less. Contemporary design, bright atmosphere. Good for those who plan to spend most of their time outside.
32 sqmTerrace Room
Forty-two sqm with a private terrace and east-facing mountain views. Having an actual outdoor terrace at 1,000 meters is hard to beat — coffee in the morning with the Alps in front of you.
