Schloss Elmau: A Legendary Spa and Cultural Retreat in the Bavarian Alps

Schloss Elmau is one of the most remarkable hotels in Europe, a legendary luxury spa retreat and cultural hideaway set in a remote, private valley of the Bavarian Alps near Garmisch. Twice the host of the G7 summit, it is famous for its year-round program of classical concerts, its many spas, and a philosophy that treats culture and wellness as inseparable.

The dining is extraordinary in its range. IKIGAI holds two Michelin stars for French-Japanese cuisine under chef Christoph Rainer; and across the Retreat and Hideaway, Mediterranean restaurants, a Japanese sushi pavilion, authentic Thai at Fidelio, a European-Indian-Thai family restaurant, a fondue Stüberl and a spa restaurant complete a culinary world unlike any other hotel.

For an immersive spa, culture and gastronomy escape, Schloss Elmau is unrivaled.
