Parkhotel Frank
Alpine wellness lodge, updated for the 21st century — rustic wood and warm colours sit alongside sleek modern spa architecture. Think mountain lodge meets boutique wellness resort, with strong family and community energy.
Request a room overlooking the infinity pool and garden — Room 51 gets mentioned repeatedly by reviewers for the view to the mountains and gondola.
Why It Matters
One of the southernmost 5-star hotels in Bavaria, listed in both Michelin Guide and Tablet Hotels. The 3,000+ sqm wellness area is the standout feature, with a three-level spa spanning a valley level, rooftop summit spa, and garden. The Frank family's 60-year ownership and genuinely personal service set it apart from corporate wellness hotels.
Family-run since 1964, this 5-star property in Oberstdorf sits at the southern edge of town with the Nebelhorn dead ahead. Robert and Cora Frank run a tight, warm ship — staff call you by name, owners show up at breakfast, and the whole place feels more like staying with well-heeled friends than checking in to a hotel. The big 2023 renovation added a rooftop GipfelSpa with Japanese Onsen pools, a new 20m infinity pool, and the RoCo-Bar, which is now the slickest bar in town.
