Garmisch-Partenkirchen Hotels with Airport pickup service

Let’s start by saying that you cannot please everybody. I came here with my family, and we booked two rooms, one for the kids and the loft-style one for the wife and me. This review is based on this experience. I am not sponsored nor incentivized by the hotel. Although there were some outside parking spots, I chose to go underneath the hotel out of sheer curiosity. I’ve enjoyed that quite a bit. I could send the kids to the parking house if they forgot a jacket, or headphones inside the car. There are three major highlights of this place: the first is the view. The hotel faces a mountain wall where you can see the morning sun stretch itself all over it. You can see the town sprawled right at the base of this enormous mountain wall. This is an objective way to review where you are in life and make you think of things bigger than yourself. If you are not into that kind of thing, I can understand. The second is the layout of the hotel. Bear with me on this one, seeing that I am not an architect but a customer. The rooms are not stacked on top of each other like a high-rise. Instead, they are arranged in a fashion where you go to a different department for the pool, then you head to a different department for the parking, and another one for your room. I found it very interesting because navigating inside feels like an adventure. The hotels have at least five elevators. I was baffled to see so many elevators in a hotel in Germany. If walking is not your thing, take the Aufzug. Last thing, this one my family enjoyed quite a bit and that is the restaurant. It is a buffet style for the morning and a reservation in the afternoon. The part worth mentioning here is the delivery and seamliness of the crew operating those restaurants (there are two of them). I am not talking about customer service but intent on ensuring you enjoy your time while eating there. A whole bunch of young people are well-trained in what they do. Of course, some honorable mentions are the pool, the sauna (three styles), the gym, the EV parking, the lake behind the hotel, the hiking path behind the hotel, the game room at the lobby, the dress code, the bar, and lastly the undeniable peace and quiet. I am fortunate to be able to stay there with my family. Nevertheless, we all know there are things in life one simply cannot pay for them.

We stayed here for two nights as we drove along the Alpine Route and couldn't have made a better choice, this is a charming Art Nouveau hotel with a lot of its original features intact. Now you will read many reviews that say it needs modernising and re-equipping but if you look beneath the surface you will see what a fine hotel this is. The service from every member of staff goes beyond what you will find in the chain hotels and that includes the youngest girl who waited at breakfast. They have the widest choice of quality tea (probably 20 different ones) that I have ever seen at any hotel that we have stayed at. Breakfast itself was excellent with a good selection of meats, cheeses, yoghurts, fruits etc and the bacon and scrambled egg was cooked to perfection, it's probably the first time in fifty years that I have had traditional bacon with the two little bits of bone in, great memories. The room itself was large and quiet, the bed comfortable and the shower worked well. I agree that some may think the rooms need modernising but we do not come to hotels to spend hours in our room, we tend to rise early and after breakfast we go out until we are ready for bed. There is so much to see and so little time. We did use the sauna on one evening and it was very good and hot 90-100C with room for four or maybe six people at a time but only one other couple used it while we were there. There is a cool relaxation area with four recliners and a couple of chairs but you can also go out into the garden area. We did not use the pool but several others were using it, again you can exit onto the garden. On the Saturday evening we ate at an excellent family restaurant about 100 metres away, unfortunately my wife left her handbag there with our passports in it. We were going back to Munich for a concert the following morning and returning late in the evening, we informed the reception of our problem. On our return at 3.30am Monday morning the night porter had my wife's handbag already for her. If we were passing through here again this is where we would stay without any shadow of doubt.
