The lake is small enough to walk all the way around on the shore path. Anyone looking for a 5-star hotel on Lake Tegernsee usually wants a spa, the lake close by and serious cooking under one roof. The two luxury hotels on Lake Tegernsee in our selection deliver that, each with its own focus.Althoff Seehotel ÜberfahrtAlthoff Seehotel Überfahrt · TegernseeFood lovers and couples are best served by the Althoff Seehotel Überfahrt: right on the Egerner Bucht, Cornelia Fischer runs the Michelin-starred Restaurant Überfahrt, and every spa treatment takes place in a private spa suite; your dog is welcome too.

History

Luxury hotels with history on Lake Tegernsee: the 1834 Weissach mill, the 1873 ferry inn and three Michelin Keys

The mill on the Weissach: In 1834 the Bachmair family built the Weissach mill here, with guest rooms. After conversion the complex opened in 1999 as Parkresidenz Bachmair-Weissach, and hotel chains ran it from 2003. In 2010 Korbinian Kohler bought the property and turned it into today’s Spa & Resort Bachmair Weissach, having furniture, fabrics and materials designed especially for it. Of the 140 rooms, 72 are suites, and the mill stream still runs through the garden.

Spa & Resort Bachmair WeissachSpa & Resort Bachmair Weissach · Lake Tegernsee

The inn at the ferry: In 1873 Josef Höss opened the Gasthof zur Überfahrt at the old ferry crossing over the lake; Ludwig Thoma stopped by, as did Prince Rainier of Monaco. In 2001 the Hurler family replaced the inn with a new building, and Althoff has run the Althoff Seehotel Überfahrt since 2007. The ferry tradition lives on: a rowing boat takes guests across to the Point peninsula. Anna Maria Jagdfeld designed the interiors, and artist Thierry Boissel created the glass skylights.

Where to stay

Where to stay on Lake Tegernsee: Rottach-Egern or Weissach in the valley – the right location for your 5-star hotel

Rottach-Egern on the Egerner Bucht: The Althoff Seehotel Überfahrt stands on Überfahrtstraße right on the shore, with a private lake beach and views across the bay. The Wallberg with its cable car and toboggan run towers above the village, and the Point peninsula juts into the water opposite. Munich is about 60 kilometers away, the airport about 95.

Althoff Seehotel ÜberfahrtAlthoff Seehotel Überfahrt · Lake Tegernsee

Weissach in the valley toward Kreuth: The Spa & Resort Bachmair Weissach lies in Weissach, part of the municipality of Kreuth, on the B307. Kreuth and Rottach-Egern share the postcode 83700, which is why navigation apps often show Rottach-Egern. The bus stops right outside the hotel at Weissach / Bachmair Weissach. Up the valley lie Kreuth and Wildbad Kreuth with the alpine pastures on the Tyrolean border, and the Achen Pass leads over to the Achensee.

Tegernsee town and Bad Wiessee: The town of Tegernsee sits on the east shore with the station where the train from Munich ends, and Bad Wiessee lies opposite on the west shore. Both are a short drive from Rottach-Egern and from Weissach. If you want to reach a 5-star hotel on Lake Tegernsee without a car, take the train to Tegernsee and continue by bus or taxi; by car you are at the lake in just over an hour from Munich.

Our travel advisors’ insider tip

In summer, spend an afternoon at the hotel’s own bathing spot on the lake; in winter, take a run down the Wallberg toboggan track. Staying at the lakeside hotel? Have a rowing boat take you across to the Point peninsula; let us know and we will pass the request on with your reservation.
