We stayed at the Hotel Lauterbad for three nights between Christmas and New Years Eve. The hotel is situated a 20 min walk away from Freudenstadt, a typical Schwarzwald-like town.||||The rooms are Ok in size and very clean, bathroom was ok as well. The downside to the rooms is the total lack of personality. You could be in any chain hotel in the world, as they have modern Ikea-style furniture. There was a very strong smell from the new wooden floor.||||The wellness is the major attraction of this hotel and it is stunning indeed. It is huge for the number of rooms with a few saunas/hammas and two pools, one of which is partially inside and outside. Very clean and the staff was attentive.||||The restaurant and the dinner however were not what we exepected, especially for the price you pay. There were 5 courses per night, everything freshly cooked but without any originality. Schwarzwald claims itself to be a producer of great food (and they are absolutely right), but this hotel doesn't seem to use any local products. Wine/drinks selection was OK and priced right to my opinion.||||The staff was friendly overall but the owners added to the general impression of lack of personaliy and charisma of the entire establishment. Even though the female owner came to greet us at our table the first night, the only thing she told us was to observe the prohibition of reserving relax-seats in the spa. Wow!||||They charged 45 EUR per person and stay for special christmas-"entertainement". This consisted of a person playing the piano one night and a a capella group that sang 10 songs the other night. ||||There are better hotels in the Schwarzwald region, we will not go back...
Read moreLooking for a place to stay the night on our trip through the Black Forest in October 2015 we ran into Hotel Lauterbad. They had only a suite available, which was really huge for the two of us but it would have been perfect if we had been with our kids. Enormous living-room with chimney, ample balcony to the garden, one king-size bedroom and 1.5 bathrooms. Bathrobes and everything needed for relaxing in the spa facilites was provided.||The spa consisted of an indoor and an outdoor/indoor swimming pools and several relaxing areas. Unfortunately the weather was somewhat cold to swim outside and the indoor pool was a little cool for me... there is a large relaxing room with sun chairs connecting both pools, several types of sauna, and a more exclusive relaxing zone.||This place is probably paradise to spa-lovers.||The hotel is located in the woods, with wonderful views, so you can do some relaxing excercise as well.||We had a tasty German dinner at the hotel restaurant, and in the morning, the rate included a very complete buffet breakfast.||The premises were clean, front desk was efficient and kind. ||Our stay was too short to really enjoy all the place has to give. Would definitely recommend it if looking for a place to...
Read moreWe were recently fortunate enough to stay at the Lauterbad Wellnesshotel and it was an incomparable experience. Set in the serene beauty of the Black Forest, this hotel offers the perfect combination of luxury and the tranquillity of nature. From the moment our family arrived, the hotel staff made me feel exceptionally welcome. Their warm hospitality and attention to detail set the tone for a wonderful holiday. The elegantly decorated rooms and the surrounding forest landscape are simply gorgeous! The spa areas, saunas, indoor and outdoor pools are immaculate and the relaxation areas - with water mattresses, ute fireplace and tea room - are wonderfully relaxing. A special thanks to the chefs - deliciously creative), but we sometimes skipped dessert because the menu is quite hearty. What really distinguishes Lauterbad Wellnesshotel is the thoughtfulness of every detail, including the opportunity to spend an evening by the fireplace, courtesy and communication with customers all this provides a holistic experience. This is the place to rejuvenate. I wholeheartedly recommend Lauterbad Wellnesshotel to anyone looking for a relaxing holiday in nature. It is a place I want to return...
