Best Boutique Hotels in Baden-Württemberg

A lifestyle design hotel, the Fritz Lauterbad is oh so cool. An angular, modern and black wood-clad exterior with lots of glass for prime forest views, gives way to sleek modern studios. Although the approach to furniture is designer minimal, all of the cleverly arranged accommodations include comfy seating areas, workspaces, big luxe floating-style beds and balconies. Natural materials are used throughout, including the 1000 sqm wellness area, which offers clear views of the Swabian Alb. here you can take a yoga class, follow a health programme, or simply chill out and tuck into some fresh, regional cuisine.

If you’d rather be a little further out of the city, choose the Waldhotel. Located in the countryside surrounded by woods and forests, you can hear birds singing and have direct access to green space – the ample grounds include a tennis court and jogging track for breathing in the ozone. Or if you prefer to take it easy, there’s a relaxation area with a Finnish sauna and samarium. 94 comfy bedrooms cater for everyone; from single and business travellers to families needing larger shared spaces. There are three dining spaces; the sophisticated Restaurant Finch, a sun terrace flanked by manicured gardens and Hotel Bar No. 18.
