Althoff Seehotel Überfahrt

Althoff Seehotel Überfahrt stands on the shore of Lake Tegernsee at Rottach-Egern in Upper Bavaria, about 45 minutes from Munich, with the Alps rising behind the water. Its interiors avoid the rustic Bavarian look, pairing fine woods and earth tones with a contemporary, quietly colourful streak, and they use materials, colours and objects drawn from the landscape and traditions of the Tegernsee valley. Every room and suite has a terrace or balcony facing the lake or the mountains, and a renovation programme has brought redesigned Signature Suites, a restyled bar and a daily Kids Club. The 4 Elements Spa by Althoff now has private spa suites, six saunas and steam baths, three pools, a whirlpool and a private swimming pier on the lake. Five restaurants cover Alpine, Bavarian and Italian cooking, and there is a cookery school, the Genusswerkstatt. At Restaurant Überfahrt, Cornelia Fischer holds a MICHELIN star for a modern take on classic cooking, with set menus that include a vegetarian option as well as à la carte dishes. The hotel is a member of The Leading Hotels of the World. There are 174 rooms and suites, and it holds Three MICHELIN Keys.
