Schloss Elmau is an exceptional off-grid paradise. While it may appear to be a classic mountain resort, resembling a grand castle hotel from the outside, it is actually a modern luxury hotel that seamlessly blends old-world Bavarian charm with high-end luxury.
Home to an impressive concert hall and a magnificent spa, the hotel serves as a haven for culture and refinement. Its secluded location in the Wetterstein Mountains makes it the perfect starting point for exploring this incredibly romantic region. Originally constructed between 1914 and 1916 by a philosopher-writer (now owned and operated by his grandson), the Baroque castle boasts over 100 rooms, including a yoga retreat, a top-notch medical wing, and the ‘Badehaus’, a beautifully traditional spa featuring a variety of saunas, steam baths, and an oriental hammam—said to be one of the most glamorous west of Istanbul. While the therapists excel at detoxifying and invigorating treatments, what truly sets Schloss Elmau apart is its remarkable concert hall. Did you know that the G7 summit leaders have chosen this venue twice, in 2015 and 2022?
