Werdenfelserei

This is a truly excellent hotel with wonderful staff and beautiful facilities. The Spa in particular is standout. Breakfast was extraordinary. I can’t think how it could be improved. Dinner in the restaurant was also exceptional.

We returned at xmas after July. The hotel is beautiful and romantic with tasteful decorations. We are facing a park covered with snow! Breakfast is great, staff is extremely friendly, efficient and welcoming. Spa is magical and swimming pool is looking at a church and snowy mountain as the brochure. Lunch at this moment is free. We dine here for 6 nights because food is excellent and we have different restaurants to choose from so we don’t feel bored. 10 minutes walk to town through the park. We highly recommend it.

We stayed at Hotel Werdenfelserei in Garmisch-Partenkirchen (Germany) for 5 nights from July 30 to August 4, 2023. We had considered other nearby hotels, including some pretty, chalet-like places, but were worried about their lack of parking for our rental car and air-conditioning, which seemed like a good idea in high summer. Hotel Werdenfelserei provided both, and more. The hotel is not especially central, but it has direct access to a park next door (worth exploring on its own) which provides several convenient paths for walking right into town. The Werdenfelserei is a woodsy yet contemporary place whose appearance, inside and out, can be described as “modern alpine.” The street-side exterior along the Alleestrasse is quite striking. The park-side is less so, resembling a stack of apartments. But that side also faces a beautiful park and the hotel is separated from it by a flowing stream complete with waterwheel. A little bridge connects the hotel to the park, and the dining areas and lounges of the hotel are located on a covered terrace facing this leafy scene. Upon registering, we were offered a welcome drink and light snack on the terrace---what a great start. During our entire stay we found the English-speaking staff to be exceedingly friendly and helpful. There are 4 room categories: Studio “S” rooms are the smallest. Studio “L” rooms are larger and have decks that face the park. Studio “M” rooms are designed for families and face the street (Alleestrasse). Then there are Suites of various sizes and amenities: some have their own sauna, bathtub next to the bed, etc. We reserved a Studio “L” room and were given #113. As promised, the room included a deck overlooking the park. It had 2 chairs and a table (with ashtray---smoking outdoors is allowed). The park is gorgeous and on nice days is well-visited, so expect some noise during those days. Our deck also offered a side view of the mountains too, including the famous Zugspitze. Room #113 was spacious, with extra closet space and a modern (no door) bathroom with a fabulous rain shower. Toilet was in a separate cubicle with a door. The room had a desk/chair and sofa with pillows facing the TV, which could also be pivoted towards the bed. We could get BBC and CNN in English. There was a side counter with coffee supplies and a mini-fridge below. This counter also had a separate stone bowl supplying “Grander” water, which claims to restore water’s energy and vitality through a special filtration system. Although the Grander system has also been ridiculed as “new-age nonsense,” we liked having an alternative to bottled water and it certainly had to be better than tap water. Above the bed was a little cabinet which, when opened, revealed a welcome message (we think—it was in German). The Werdenfelserei takes pride in promoting health and relaxation. Using mostly neutral colors and natural fabrics, the overall decor seems designed to fill guests with peace and tranquility. The new-age vi

This property was very unique in style. It was very eco-friendly. They had free garage parking and were not for from the train station for the Zugspitze. It's a little further away from some of the shopping. We ate one night at the hotel restaurant and it was very expensive and very neuvo cuisine-lots of foam sauces. The next night we ate a 5 minute walk away at Braustuber. It had great food and was very reasonable and authentic. Breakfast at the hotel was included and was very good. There were a lot of options, even a gluten free area. The outdoor bar area was lovely. There is a big park right behind the hotel. There is a spa and a pool but we didn't use them. They looked lovely. One tip, request a room facing the park. We were on the street side and the traffic was noisy.

Perfect place to decompress and pamper yourself! Zen like hotel - excellent restaurant!!!

This has to be one of the best hotels (if not THE best hotel) I’ve ever stayed in. Our stay was delightful and felt very relaxing and luxurious — we didn’t want to leave! Our room was a good size and very comfortable. The included breakfast buffet was extensive with a good variety of delicious hot and cold options. The highlight has to be the spa, with its stunning outdoor infinity pool with outstanding views of the nearby mountains. Taking a dip and soaking in the views was a great way to relax and unwind after busy days of hiking and sightseeing. The hotel is located on the edge of Garmisch, next to a park and the river, helping to add to its peaceful and relaxing vibe - but it’s just a short and convenient walk away from the shops and restaurants. Would thoroughly recommend staying here — in fact I’d say it’s a MUST if you’re visiting the area. We hope to stay again in the not too distant future.
