ALPS LUXURY AT SCHLOSS ELMAU
A world of unique
Alpine luxury an hour south of Munich and a half mile above sea level
The Schloss
Elmau is a sanctuary of mountain seclusion
listed with the Leading Hotels of the World. Schloss Elmau was constructed
in 1916 by writer/philosopher Dr. Johannes Müller as a retreat for
friends and artists and recognized as a architectural masterpiece set
in the beauty and majestic tranquility of the Bavarian Alps. Three wings
of the castle were destroyed by a fire in 2005. The new castle has been
rebuilt by his grandson Dietmar Mueller-Elmau and re-opened as a five-star
Superior Cultural Hideaway with two luxury spas, concerts halls hosting
classical and jazz musicians, three libraries, a bookstore, an upscale
shopping arcade and six restaurants for the gourmet palate.
Enjoy spectacular views of Alps peaks in ultimate comfort and convenience.

precious natural materials: ancient stone in large bathrooms, hardwood
floors of polished teak or oak, walls covered with pure silk, subtle
lighting and flowers everywhere.Be
