Bareiss

$$$$ | Hermine-Bareiss-Weg 1, Mitteltal, 72270, Germany Fodor's Choice

A much-loved luxury hotel founded by Hermine Bareiss in 1951 (and now presided over by his grandson, Hannes), this is one of the top hotels in Europe and one of the very best in Germany. With a three-star gourmet restaurant inside, the Bareiss helped put Baiersbronn on the map as a gourmet village and has made an art of what they call the half-pension "culinary vacation." Rooms are the size of suites, and the buildings center around the spa and sauna area with multiple indoor and outdoor pools. Families are especially well catered to, with a circus wagon, treehouse, petting zoo, and playgrounds, activity programs, and childcare.

Pros

  • Beautiful, secluded location
  • Excellent pools and sauna
  • Fine choice of restaurants

Cons

  • Very expensive
  • Rooms feel old-fashioned to some
  • Extra charge for children age 7 and older
