Luxury hotel on Lake Chiemsee | Chiemgauhof Lakeside Retreat

Chiemgauhof Lakeside Retreat

Experience a new chapter in one of the most beautiful locations right on the shores of Lake Chiemsee: the Chiemgauhof.
28 exclusive suites with views of the lake and mountains provide the perfect setting to unwind and feel at home. Culinary delights await you in the Chiemgauhof Restaurant, the Lakeside Bar and our lakeside garden, right on the shores of Lake Chiemsee – home to what are arguably the most beautiful sunsets.
A small but exquisite wellness area and a heated outdoor pool invite you to relax. The new boathouse is an oasis of tranquillity and also provides the perfect setting for special events.
The renowned Milanese architect Matteo Thun is responsible for the architectural concept. His flair for the essentials and his sustainable philosophy characterise the Chiemgauhof, which, as part of the Das Achental resort, creates a harmonious blend of nature, design and exclusivity.

Welcome

"True luxury lies in tranquillity, space and serenity – not in excess. It is the knowledge that everything is there when you need it, but nothing imposes itself on you when you are not seeking it."
