Our Barock Suite is a spacious suite of around 70 square meters with a separate bedroom and its own living room. What makes it special is that while it has been newly renovated, the baroque furniture has been preserved and restored.

HOW OLD IS THE HOTEL?

Our hotel was founded in 1864 by a doctor from Sonthofen, who used the local healing spring as the basis for a special spa and wellness destination. We still use the healing spring today in various treatments. In 1923, our ancestors purchased the hotel. Since then, it has been run by the Gross family, now in its fourth generation. If you want to dive deeper into the history, you can find many fascinating insights on our team page and in the accompanying blog.

ARE DOGS ALLOWED IN THE HOTEL?

Dogs are generally allowed, though not in all rooms. Since we value a harmonious environment, we have set a limit on the number of dogs allowed. This means we cannot accommodate a dog at any given time. Therefore, it is important to indicate your dog at the time of booking.

WHAT MAKES OUR HOTEL IN THE ALLGÄU SPECIAL?

• Unique location above Bad Oberdorf – with breathtaking views of the Hindelang mountains

• Individual, cozy ambiance – a house with the charm of “the good old days” and modern comforts that leave nothing to be desired

• Large panoramic wellness area with hotel park – bright relaxation areas, wonderful views, and a variety of spa offers await you

• Lived sustainability – conscious management, regional products, and a respectful approach to nature and resources

Our concept “Where time stands still” – singing together, playing together, climbing mountains together, enjoying nature, eating the good things from nature, and using nature’s gifts to stay healthy or become healthy.

WHAT DOES “WELLNESS HOTEL” ACTUALLY MEAN?

A wellness hotel is dedicated to the holistic relaxation of body, mind, and soul. Many 4-star hotels today use this designation—but for us, the idea of a spa and healing spring has a particularly long tradition, dating back to the hotel’s founding in 1864. Situated close to nature, it employs not only traditional hotel staff but also physiotherapists and massage therapists to provide you with a thoroughly restorative experience.
Wellness hotels generally offer a spacious spa area with various saunas, pools, and treatments such as massages and therapies.

HOW MANY ROOMS DOES HOTEL PRINZ-LUITPOLD-BAD HAVE?

Our hotel has just over 80 rooms, all facing south, and except for Room 300 and the Tower Room, all have south-facing balconies. This allows you to enjoy the impressive views of the Allgäu mountains from almost every room.

Info: This page is under construction. Based on your most frequently asked questions, we continuously add new sections to this blog article. A benefit of the blog is that it has an integrated context search, meaning if you are looking for something specific, you can search for it there.

WHAT TREATMENTS ARE AVAILABLE?

We offer a wide variety of soothing treatments, which we divide into Wellness & Cosmetic Treatments and Medical Wellness Treatments.
These include massages, moor applications, baths in our hotel’s own spring water, and of course, cosmetic treatments. Additionally, we have packaged our most popular combinations into bookable wellness offers. Simply browse the pages and get inspired.

WHAT PRODUCTS ARE USED IN THE TREATMENTS?

We have a detailed blog article that answers all questions about our massage and cosmetic products. If you need more information, we are of course happy to advise you personally.

WHAT IS THE TEMPERATURE OF THE OUTDOOR POOL?

The outdoor pool is heated year-round, with a temperature of around 30 °C in winter and approximately 28 °C in summer. The indoor pool is usually slightly warmer at 30–32 °C. If the automatic cover is ever closed, you can open it yourself during the wellness area’s opening hours using the button on the pool steps.

WHAT IS OUR DAY SPA?

A Day Spa allows you to use the wellness area, including treatments, without staying at the hotel overnight. We offered this in the past but have temporarily paused it to ensure our hotel guests always have enough space and an optimal wellness experience.

CAN THE WELLNESS AREA BE USED WITH CHILDREN?

Yes, children are welcome to use the wellness area together with their parents at any time. It is important that both parents and children keep in mind that everyone should enjoy themselves, including guests seeking peace and quiet.
Please note: We are not a traditional children’s hotel, where running or jumping in the pool is allowed while other guests are present.
Tip: The area is usually quieter around midday, so children can play more freely. Traditional saunas are less suitable for children, while the infrared sauna is generally well tolerated. The popular waterbeds are, of course, also available for families. In designated quiet areas, we ask for absolute silence—both for adults and children.

HOW IS A SAUNA HEATED?

Our saunas are electrically operated. The sauna stove heats the stones, which retain the heat, so that after the morning preheating, only a small amount of energy is needed to maintain the temperature. Sauna stoves require regular rest periods and therefore cannot run continuously.

WHAT IS THE SPA ETIQUETTE AT HOTEL PRINZ-LUITPOLD-BAD?

We have a log cabin sauna, a color-light sauna, and a steam bath for traditional use without clothing, as well as an infrared sauna and a textile sauna for use with swimwear. In the showers and the outdoor area of the log cabin sauna, guests in swimwear or bathrobes may occasionally encounter nude guests, which generally works well.
It is clearly indicated in which area you are at all times. Above the lakonium, there is an FKK (nudist) deck—a fresh air area with loungers.
Pools are generally to be used with swimwear.

ARE ALL POOLS AVAILABLE YEAR-ROUND?

Yes, all three pools are available and heated year-round, including the outdoor pool. The outdoor pool is sometimes closed in winter to save energy and protect the environment but can be opened at any time using the button on the pool steps. This does not limit your access in any way.

DO YOU HAVE SULFUR WATER?

Yes, our hotel’s own spring contains sulfur water. This was the reason Dr. Stich built a bathing facility in 1864 at the site where the shop is now located. The healing power of the spring has been known since the 17th century. Today we still use it in our bathtub treatments and sometimes in the indoor pool. Don’t worry—it does not have the strong smell often associated with other sulfur springs.

WHAT ARE THE TEMPERATURES AND SIZES OF THE POOLS?

• Outdoor pool: approx. 30 °C in winter, 28 °C in summer, 6 × 12 m

• Indoor pool: 30–32 °C, 4 × 14 m

• Whirlpool: body temperature, space for approx. 5 people

IS THERE A TEXTILE SAUNA?

Yes, the textile sauna is located at the end of the “Refugium” quiet area and is open daily from 11:00 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. The temperature is around 80 °C.

WHAT ARE THE OPENING HOURS OF THE WELLNESS AREA?

The entire wellness area is open daily from 6:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.

WHICH AREAS ARE PART OF THE WELLNESS AREA?

Our wellness area is spacious and offers various pools, saunas, and relaxing quiet zones—ideal for letting your body and mind unwind.

Saunas & Heat Treatments:
The spa includes a soothing infrared cabin and a cold chamber in the Gesundbrunnen, a color-light sauna, the log cabin sauna outdoors, a steam bath, and a textile sauna located in the “Refugium” quiet area. The saunas vary in temperature and atmosphere—from gentle to intense.

Pools:
In addition to the indoor pool, there is a year-round heated outdoor pool and a whirlpool. Exact pool temperatures and sauna opening hours are available on our wellness page.

Quiet Areas:
Several rooms and outdoor zones invite you to relax: heated loungers, waterbeds, panoramic loungers with mountain views, and daybeds by the pond and in the nature park. In summer, loungers are also available by the outdoor pool, on a sun terrace, and on a small FKK deck.
Adjacent—but not part of the wellness area—is our cozy beer garden for hotel guests.

Guests who wish to combine wellness with hiking or gentle outdoor activity will also find perfect surroundings here.

How does the Hotel Prinz-Luitpold-Bad offer such a quiet location?

• Instead of urban sounds, guests hear birdsong, church bells and the gentle murmur of the hotel’s natural mountain stream.

The combination of tranquillity, movement in nature and health-oriented treatments supports sustainable physical and mental regeneration.

How does the Hotel Prinz-Luitpold-Bad offer an authentic nature experience?

This can be described in three aspects:

1. A holiday surrounded by nature

Bad Hindelang is a rural alpine destination characterised by meadows, traditional farmhouses and surrounding mountains. The Hotel Prinz-Luitpold-Bad is located even closer to nature, above the small district of Bad Oberdorf, nestled between mountains and open landscapes with uninterrupted alpine views.

2. Surrounded by an extensive historic park

With more than 160 years of history, the hotel benefits from a rare luxury: space, open grounds and nature.

The hotel park includes:

• a private beer garden,

• numerous sunbathing and relaxation areas within the wellness grounds,

• shaded natural spots by the mountain stream,

• a pond with daybeds,

• sunny lounging areas,

• and a Krolf course (a playful combination of croquet and golf).

Not to forget the senior host’s chickens, which are part of everyday life at the hotel. In the morning, guests wake to birdsong; in the afternoon, bees and insects can be observed among the natural flower meadows.

Here, life follows a slower rhythm — shaped by tranquillity, intact nature and a consciously relaxed pace.

3. Hiking and walking directly from the hotel

Many hiking routes start right outside the hotel door, allowing guests to begin their walk or hike whenever they choose — without driving or planning transfers.

Further details can be found here:

The Hotel Prinz-Luitpold-Bad combines wellness, nature experience and health-focused relaxation and is especially suited to guests seeking tranquillity and sustainable regeneration in the Allgäu Alps.

Is the hotel suitable for couples seeking tranquillity?

Yes. The Hotel Prinz-Luitpold-Bad is especially suited to couples looking for conscious relaxation, nature and shared time away from tourist crowds.

Its secluded mountain location above Bad Hindelang, spacious relaxation areas with alpine panoramas and wellness treatments designed for shared experiences create ideal conditions for a peaceful getaway for two.

Special arrangements for couples combine wellness, cuisine and time in nature, encouraging deep relaxation and sustainable regeneration.

Why is the sulphur spring beneficial for health?

The natural sulphur spring at the Hotel Prinz-Luitpold-Bad has been used for generations for therapeutic baths and regenerative treatments.

Sulphur-rich water is absorbed through the skin and may:

• support anti-inflammatory processes,

• relieve musculoskeletal pain,

• improve joint mobility,

• positively influence skin condition and metabolism.

Within medical wellness traditions, sulphur baths are particularly valued for supporting joints, muscles and back health. These treatments combine classical European spa culture with modern health concepts and Kneipp-based therapy elements.
