Your guide to the best luxury hotel in Schliersee

Schliersee is the lake before the mountains, an hour from Munich – and the Spitzingsee is its brother behind: 1,100 metres up, in a basin between Brecherspitz and Rotwand, frozen in winter, cold enough in summer that Munich only wades in to the knee. Around the lake the ski area, the alpine pastures and a village that consists of little more than hotels.Arabella Alpenhotel am SpitzingseeArabella Alpenhotel am Spitzingsee · SpitzingseeFor this guide we reviewed the best hotels in Schliersee and chose one: a luxury hotel right on the shore of the Spitzingsee – with two categories facing the lake and a recommendation that is really a building. What that means for booking is below.

At no extra cost: booking through suitespot costs the same as booking direct with the hotel – the benefits come on top, free of charge.

One luxury hotel in Schliersee – and who it suits

Our choice for Schliersee is the Arabella Alpenhotel am Spitzingsee on Seeweg, in the district of Spitzingsee, right on the water. In our ranking it stands at 4.8 out of 5, and a night starts at 183 euros. The hotel belongs to Marriott Bonvoy.

Why we recommend it: Because it is the only hotel of this size standing at 1,100 metres right on a mountain lake: 120 rooms, 12 of them suites, in the Arabella collection since 1972, today in the Tribute Portfolio. The spa has 800 square metres and a pool with whirlpool opening onto the lake and the mountains; add mountain-flower and alpine-farm saunas, three restaurants and a bar. And at the door begins the Spitzingsee-Tegernsee ski area – in summer the paths up the Rotwand. Our recommended category is called Estate House.

Our travel advisors’ insider tip

The hotel stands on the lake – and two of eleven categories look onto it.

Eleven categories, three of them suites. Ten of them have a set view: six to the mountain (Classic, Comfort, Premium, Deluxe, Family Suite, Superior Suite), two to the garden (South Side, Deluxe) and two to the lake – the Superior and the Grand Deluxe. The mountain is the rule here, and the Rotwand outside the window is no makeshift. But anyone wanting the water has two categories to choose from.

Then the recommendation: Estate House. That is not a category of its own but the name of the building in which the hotel keeps its rooms and suites – the hotel itself speaks of Estate House Guest Rooms and Estate House Suites. Anyone booking “Estate House” has therefore not yet chosen; the choice is Superior or Grand Deluxe if it is to be the lake, and Classic to Premium if the mountain will do.

The package: breakfast, upgrade on arrival, early check-in and late check-out and welcome gift. No minimum stay – which is rare in a ski area.

Our advice: Book the Superior with the lake and let the upgrade bring the Grand Deluxe. Between the two lies no number, only the name; with 120 rooms the upgrade on arrival is a real quantity here. And tell our travel advisors the view, not the building.

Where to stay in Schliersee: on the Spitzingsee, at 1,100 metres

The Arabella Alpenhotel am Spitzingsee stands at Seeweg 7 in the Spitzingsee district of the municipality of Schliersee, right on the shore – eight kilometres from Schliersee station, eleven from the Tegernsee, 57 from Munich and 77 from the airport.

Our recommendation is therefore for anyone wanting the mountains without crossing a border – and for anyone to whom a lake at the door matters more than a town.

What lies within reach: the Spitzingsee itself, with the circular path in an hour, at the door; the Rotwand, 1,884 metres, Munich’s home mountain, with the Rotwandhaus at the top, two hours on foot; and the Schliersee down in the valley with the Markus Wasmeier open-air museum, a quarter of an hour by car.

For orientation: Schliersee station lies on the BRB line from Munich, an hour; the bus runs from there up to the lake. The Tegernsee is a quarter of an hour away via the Valepp or the Spitzingsattel, Munich an hour. At the Spitzingsee one walks; the car stays at the hotel, and in winter one queues at the lift.

Eleven categories: the best hotel in Schliersee from the inside

The Arabella Alpenhotel am Spitzingsee offers eleven categories, three of them suites – ten with a view of the lake, the mountains or the garden.

The rooms: Superior and Grand Deluxe to the lake; Classic, Comfort, Premium and Deluxe to the mountain; South Side and Deluxe to the garden.

The suites: Family Suite and Superior Suite to the mountain, plus the Deluxe Suite.

On the view: this hotel’s motif is the Spitzingsee – the Superior and the Grand Deluxe look out onto it. Six categories look to the mountain, two to the garden.

Our recommended category Estate House is the name of the building, not of a room type.

What applies equally to every category: breakfast for two, the upgrade on arrival subject to availability, early check-in and late check-out subject to availability and a welcome gift.

What a night at the luxury hotel in Schliersee costs

A night at the luxury hotel in Schliersee starts at 183 euros.

The suitespot benefits apply here from the first night. Included are: breakfast for two, an upgrade on arrival subject to availability, early check-in and late check-out and a welcome gift.

When it is loveliest: in winter, when the lift runs at the door and the lake is frozen, and from June to September, when the alpine huts are open.

What belongs to the Spitzingsee: the shoulder season. In November and April the lake is grey, the lifts stand still, the huts are closed. That is not a warning but the calendar: anyone coming then has the spa and the lake to themselves – and the price, which is lowest then.

When to ask early: at Christmas and New Year, in the Bavarian carnival holidays and on the snow weekends from January to March, when Munich heads for the slopes.

How long to stay: two nights for lake, Rotwand and spa – three if the Tegernsee and Wasmeier’s museum are added.

And whatever the date: you get the suitespot benefits in the quietest week of the year just as you do in the busiest.

120 rooms, a lakeside spa and exclusive services in a 5-star hotel

The Oberland is the strip of Bavaria between Munich and the Alps where the lakes lie: Tegernsee, Schliersee, Spitzingsee – each a step higher than the last, each with a different society. The Tegernsee has the villas, the Schliersee the villages, the Spitzingsee the mountains.

Three things belong to it. First the Rotwand: 1,884 metres, the most-climbed mountain of the Munich crowd, with the Rotwandhaus reached in winter over the snowy ridge. Second the Wasmeier museum: the ski racer’s open-air museum on the Schliersee, with relocated 17th-century farmhouses and the brewery. Third the Tegernsee: the Bräustüberl in the former monastery, the ferry across the lake and the Wallberg, whose lift in winter opens Germany’s longest natural toboggan run.

The package at this hotel is breakfast, upgrade, check-in and check-out and gift.

What our travel advisors arrange most often: the category facing the lake, for the reason stated above, the ski pass for Spitzingsee-Tegernsee and the transfer from the station – because in winter the eight kilometres up to the lake are better driven by someone else.
