3 Best Hotels in Baiersbronn, The Black Forest

One of the best hotels in Baiersbronn (and Germany), the Traube Tonbach offers a relaxing atmosphere with sweeping views of the Black Forest from each of its comfortable and stylish rooms, not to mention an outstanding spa and swimming pool, along with on-site child care. There has been a hotel at this location since 1789, and you'll find the more traditional rooms in the original building and the more contemporary rooms in the Haus Kohlwald building across the street; both are elegant, with cozy seating areas and wonderful vistas. A large choice of excellent restaurants includes the modernized Swadian-Badish cuisine of the Schatzhauser; the classic French cuisine of the three-Michelin-starred Schwarzwaldstube; the Asian-inflected international fare of 1789; and breakfast and gourmet classics at the Silberberg.

With a large indoor pool and sauna and comfortable rooms, this boutique hotel offers a nice alternative to the luxury of some of the other local options if you don't mind the plaid-filled, 1970s aesthetic of the room decor. The steep roof of this 200-year-old typical Black Forest building offers an unmistakable clue to the heavy oak fittings and fine antiques inside. In winter, the lounge's fireplace is a welcome sight when you are returning from the nearby ski area. In its beamed restaurant, you can dine on fresh local specialties.

An imposing cluster of white houses in the narrow Murg Valley north of Baiersbronn, this country-style hotel, partially renovated in 2021, has broad appeal: wellness-seekers can take advantage of the spa facilities, gourmands can try the Michelin-starred restaurant, and sightseers can use this as a base for exploring much of the Black Forest. Comfortable guest rooms and two restaurants under the leadership of one of Germany's finest chefs, Jörg Sackmann, and his son Nico, round off a luxurious program. Rates include breakfast, light lunch, and a six-course dinner.
