If I could give this place 6 stars, I would. Located in the town of Rottach-Egern on the lake…read moreTegernsee, this is pure luxury in a very relaxed surrounding. The town is a bit of the playground for the rich and famous and is lined with boutiques, antique shops, art galleries and fashion galore. This hotel is home to the only three Michelin star restaurant in Bavaria and unfortunately, it was closed for annual holidays during our visit. That alone will bring me back here again. There are three other restaurants here and a nice lobby bar. There is a spa here that is huge and very well equipped. There are multiple sauna & steam rooms (note: this is a nude area only), swimming pool with a kids pool, hot and cold tubs, relaxation room, a library, a cafe, big gym, yoga/aerobics room and, a full service spa with a large menu of treatments. I absolutely loved the spa and saunas. You can also go to the spa for day use but, you need to book it in advance, if you are not staying at the hotel. The rooms are very well appointed and functional. The beds are super comfortable and some of the rooms have a balcony. The bathrooms are well appointed and you get all the supplies you need in there. Attention to detail is very good. If you want English paper in the morning it's not a problem. Our room also had a tablet that you could use to order food, book spa and restaurants, information, extend or change your reservation and request late checkout. It was a wonderful addition to the room. Wifi was great and available everywhere in the hotel. Pets are allowed for an extra charge and they had a bed and a big bowl of food waiting for the arrival of Samy, our dog. His eyes were lit up the moment he walked into the room ;-)) Note that dogs are not allowed in the restaurants and the spa area. Dog sitting services are available on request and can be booked at reception. The thing that made this place super special for me was the service. It was fantastic and the staff were so welcoming and friendly. This was common throughout the hotel and the restaurants. That alone will bring me back here. The finest service I have experienced in a hotel in Germany to date. We loved it and whilst it's not cheap, I would come back here in a heartbeat. Such places are hard to find in Europe. The overall experience made us want more and we almost considered extending for another night, however, our schedule did not permit it.

Excellent gourmet cusine at the Althoff Seehotel restaurant! All fresh baked bread, lovely…read moreselection of olive oil, and freshly prepared seasoned food. Definitely will return.

Could not be more beautiful and the restaurant and the welcome were spectacular. Nice access to the…read morespa and gym from all rooms. Note there is no lift so allow the porter to take your bags. The bar does not open till 7 pm but I think drinks can be ordered from the reception before 7. My only misgiving was I left Fortum and Mason Chocolates from London for my grandmother in the fridge. I forgot to collect them and called and hour after check out to see if they could be found. I guess house-keeping did an exhaustive clean as they were nowhere to be found. I Just would have thought such a nice place as that would have risen to a higher standard.

Luitpold is an amazing hotel! First and foremost it's service is exceptional. Everyone we've met…read morehere was very helpful and professional. And when a lade came out of the building and went across the street with basket of fresh croissant to offer us a snack, she had me at hello :) Luitpold is also very well situated at beautiful lake Tangersee. All rooms with the lake view are nicely decorated and have their own balconies. The street is busy, as it goes around the lake, but the view compensates it. One thing that also coughs my attention is bathroom. Very well arranged so you have place to put your stuff exactly where you want it to be (including shelf under the shower). The only thing I am deducting one star is due to poor wifi. Not reachable by phone, breaking up with the computer. Nowadays it is a standard and when they improve it, 5 stars will appear!

Very nice hotel, 20 m from the lake (on the other side of a busy street around the lake). Rooms and…read moreinterior are beautiful and historic. We had a great view on the lake and a large balcony in the third floor. Breakfast is nice, staff friendly, location good (5 m walk to Brauestueberl - beer garden).

On a Backroads trip. This hotel is worth not riding for a day and just enjoy the spa, food, setting…read moreand service. The spa is one of a kind. We are experienced world travelers and know quality. This exceeded our expectations. Only thing missing for the cost is AC. opening a door outside is OK- but road noise and flies. given the grandeur of this place it should have AC.

Hotel was very quaint. Breakfast was amazing. However, we came at end of July. It was crazy hot -…read morelike 34 Celsius hot (95-100 F). And the rooms do not have air conditioning. I just feel like for the price and star rating they have, that's kind of unacceptable. If you're going when the weather is more temperate or cold, I'm sure you'll be fine.

We spent two nights here recently and had a chance to dine at the restaurant on premises. Loved it…read morevery much and the hospitality from the staff here was truly reflective of the Bavarian "gastgeber" attitude, friendly, welcoming and going out of their way to look after you. The room we had was fabulous albeit slightly dated and missing the luxury I would expect in a hotel at this price like bathrobes, plush towels and good toiletries. But everything else was on the money. Breakfast was very nice and extensive, dinner here was excellent and I loved my cappuccino soup and apple crumble. Good wine list and super friendly service. Dogs are allowed here for an extra charge and they had a nice bowl and bed waiting for our dog when we arrived with food and so on. The hotel is on a hiking trail so you can literally step out and go walking into the mountains. The views from up here is fantastic and it's very quiet during the night. All in all a fabulous experience we would happily repeat again.
