Hotel Klosterhotel Ludwig der Bayer

Nestled within the Ettal monastery grounds, this hotel offers a comfortable retreat for both adventure seekers and those in need of relaxation, right in the heart of the Ammergau Alps.

When you're in the mood for a slow day, treat yourself to some pampering at the hotel’s soothing spa, where a mix of Mediterranean and Oriental styles sets the mood for massages and beauty treatments. Curl up by the fire in the cozy lounge, sample a draught from the monastery’s own brewery, or sip wine in the hotel bar at dusk. You can also head out to the terrace to take in the views.

This spot is especially popular with couples, who rate it 9.2 for two-person getaways.
