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.
A detailed overview can be found here: Wellness at Prinz-Luitpold-Bad
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.
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 ALLGĂ„U 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.
