Kempinski Hotel Berchtesgaden stands about 1,000 metres up in the Bavarian Alps, above the market town of Berchtesgaden, with mountains on every side. The building is modern and the interiors are calm, made with good materials and large windows that keep the peaks in view in every season. There are 136 rooms and suites. The duplex penthouse suites with roof terraces are the ones to ask for. The spa has an indoor pool and a heated outdoor pool, three saunas and a waterbed lounge, and it is the obvious place to end a day on the trails. Dining runs from PUR, the two-MICHELIN-starred gourmet restaurant, to the Johann Grill, the Bergstüberl for Bavarian mountain cooking, and the lobby lounge and fireplace bar. The house signature is the Eckerbichl cake, worth ordering by the fire with a coffee. Summer is for walking and climbing in the surrounding Alps, winter for snow, and the hotel offers hiking packages for guests who want to spend their days on foot.
