The House

It was clear from the outset: the Chiemgauhof was not to be a traditional hotel, but a place that connects with its surroundings rather than overshadowing them. Anyone arriving here immediately senses the special atmosphere of this retreat. Thoughtful details, a minimalist design and a close connection to nature make the hotel a place of tranquillity and inspiration – right on the shores of Lake Chiemsee.

Large windows, sweeping views

In tune with nature

Generous glass fronts open up the view of the lake, as if it were part of the living space. Here, nature is not merely framed by the windows, but deliberately integrated into the experience. The architecture is stripped back to the essentials, without losing any of its warmth.
Inside, light oak floors and bespoke wooden features add warm accents, whilst cool-looking natural stone provides a pleasant tactile feel and rounds off the design.

A tribute to the region

The architecture of the Chiemgauhof pays homage to the region and its traditional craftsmanship. Throughout the building, particular emphasis has been placed on high-quality natural materials – not only for their aesthetic appeal, but also for their durability and natural charm. Many of these materials tell a story of the area:
