Maximilian
Traditional Bavarian meets modern Alpine design. Warm woods, tactile fabrics, and genuine local character — but with clean contemporary lines and proper upscale comforts. Family-owned, unpretentious, genuinely cozy.
All room rates include the full breakfast buffet AND spa access — the whirlpool and saunas are included, not an upcharge
Why It Matters
One of the most polished hotels in the Ammergau Alps region and the only hotel in Oberammergau with its own craft brewery. Listed in the Michelin Guide and Tablet Hotels. Central village location that puts you within walking distance of Bavarian woodcarving shops, the Passion Theatre, and hiking trailheads.
Hotel Maximilian is a privately owned Alpine design hotel sitting right in the center of Oberammergau, 700 meters from the famous Passion Theatre. It packs a lot into a small footprint: 20 rooms with beamed ceilings and balconies, a brewery restaurant, an elegant dining room, a compact but serious spa, and a summer beer garden that looks straight out at the Ammergau Alps. The big draw beyond the scenery is Ammergauer Maxbräu, the hotel's own on-site craft brewery.
Where You'll Stay
5 room types available
Comfort Room
From EUR225 / nightThe entry-level category but still solid — from 26 sqm with a shower bathroom, balcony, flatscreen TV with Sky, minibar, and in-room safe. Styled in traditional Bavarian design with warm woods. Bright and spacious for the size. Breakfast and spa access included.
26 sqm
Deluxe Room
From EUR315 / nightAt 38 sqm, these are proper large hotel rooms with bathtub and shower, DVD player, and balcony. Good amount of space for two people. Still in the same Bavarian design language — wood, neutral tones — but with more room to spread out. Breakfast and spa included.
38 sqm
Hochzeitssuite (Wedding Suite)
From EUR405 / nightThe top-tier room at 54 sqm — slightly smaller footprint than the standard Suite but with a similar layout: separate sleeping and living areas, full bathtub and shower, TVs in both rooms, and a wide balcony.

How you'll actually spend your days.

Four illuminated ski lifts near Oberammergau open nightly from 19:00 to 22:00 during ski season.
