BAVARIAN ALPS LUXURY AT SCHLOSS ELMAU
A world of unique
Alpine luxury an hour south of Munich and a half mile above sea level
The Schloss
Elmau is a sanctuary of mountain seclusion
listed with the Leading Hotels of the World. Schloss Elmau was constructed
in 1916 by writer/philosopher Dr. Johannes Müller as a retreat for
friends and artists and recognized as a architectural masterpiece set
in the beauty and majestic tranquility of the Bavarian Alps. Three wings
of the castle were destroyed by a fire in 2005. The new castle has been
rebuilt by his grandson Dietmar Mueller-Elmau and re-opened as a five-star
Superior Cultural Hideaway with two luxury spas, concerts halls hosting
classical and jazz musicians, three libraries, a bookstore, an upscale
shopping arcade and six restaurants for the gourmet palate.
Enjoy spectacular views of Alps peaks in ultimate comfort and convenience.
Relax in intimate interiors blending subtle oriental influences with
precious natural materials: ancient stone in large bathrooms, hardwood
floors of polished teak or oak, walls covered with pure silk, subtle
lighting and flowers everywhere.Be
pampered in an oasis of calm in perhaps the most beautiful Badehaus & Spa
of the alps or rejuventate with your kids in a second Spa for families.

favorite just a hike away. Savor innovative fusion cuisine from Asia
