More about the hotel:
- Wellness
In addition to relaxing treatments in its six gorgeous spa areas - the adult / family / nature spa, the oriental hammam or the T.C.M. medical spa - you can also indulge in yoga, Taijiquan and Qigong. Two very well-equipped gyms with magnificent alpine views sum up the diverse wellness portfolio that Schloss Elmau has to offer.
- Living Space
The rooms are spacious yet intimate, contemporary, super comfortable and reflect the beauty of the pristine environment. One appreciates the subtle rough edges, the natural materials and the delicate Asian influences. Step into the suite and immediately feel a sense of arrival in a wellness paradise.
- Why we love it
While everything at Schloss Elmau is perfect (attention to detail, incredibly warm and unrestricted service), one still feels very much at home. The location is magical and charismatic in every season. The on-site Jivamukti Yoga School offers a variety of yoga retreats; international guest teachers impart popular world-class yoga styles.
- What you must not miss
The yoga room is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful yoga spaces a hotel could own. The use of a variety of fine wood, the Asian temple roof, the three sided floor-to-ceiling windows and the natural light provide uplifting yet calming views of mountains, valley and forests. This must have definitely presented a great challenge to the architects but in the end it gives off a very special aura.
