Schlosshotel Bühlerhöhe near Baden-Baden
Schlosshotel Bühlerhöhe is for many well-healed travelers the first choice when visiting Baden-Baden. In contrast to the Brenner’s Park-Hotel, which is in the heart of Baden-Baden, the Schlosshotel Bühlerhöhe is 15 km outside of town. It is majestically located at the top of an 800 m (2,600 ft) high hill giving it spectacular views of the Black Forest and the wide Rhine Valley.
The Bühlerhöhe’s history is mostly post-First World War. Konrad Adenauer, West Germany’s post-Second World War chancellor, valued the peaceful and quiet location while the English football team made the Schlosshotel Bühlerhöhe its main base during the 2006 World Cup tournament.
The hotel has 77 rooms and 13 suites. All are bright and luxuriously furnished. Several restaurants are available on site but the first choice for gourmets is the Michelin star Restaurant Imperial – jackets required and reservations highly advisable.
The spa and “wellness” facilities are extensive. The emphasis is on relaxation and beauty but medical check ups and treatments can be arranged with the nearby Max Grundig Clinic.
- Schlosshotel Bühlerhöhe, Schwarzwaldhochstraße 1, D-77815 Bühl / Baden-Baden, Tel.:+49 (0)7226-550.
