Wellness Wellness area and treatments

  • Can external guests also use the pool and sauna area?

    No, the pool and sauna area is reserved exclusively for our hotel guests.

  • What are the opening hours of the pool area?

    The hotel’s wellness area, located on the lower ground floor, is open daily from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. It includes a swimming pool, whirlpool, modern fitness room and an oriental-style relaxation lounge.

    Yes, our pool area on the lower ground floor can be easily accessed via lift. However, please note that the pool itself does not have a barrier-free entry.

  • What is the temperature of the pool water?

    The water temperature in our pool is 28 °C.

  • Are there any swimwear requirements guests should be aware of?

    Please wear appropriate bathing shoes in the spa area due to the risk of slipping. Small children who are not yet potty-trained may use the wellness area and especially the pool only while wearing swim diapers.

  • What is the minimum age for children to use the pool area?

    We are delighted to welcome you and your children to our hotel. Please note that the pool area is a place of relaxation. For safety reasons, children under twelve years of age may enter the wellness area only when accompanied by their parents.

    Small children who are not yet potty-trained may use the wellness area and especially the pool only while wearing swim diapers.

  • Is the sauna a textile-free area?

    For various reasons, our saunas must be used without swimwear. Hygiene plays a key role, as synthetic swimwear can release harmful substances when exposed to the high heat of the sauna. In addition, sweat released while wearing swimwear tends to remain trapped, which is unhygienic and unpleasant – especially when using both the sauna and the pool area. Moreover, sweating without clothing is healthier, as fabric prevents sweat from evaporating properly from the skin.

Culinary Eating and drinking at the hotel

    Yes, non-hotel guests are also warmly welcome to dine with us and enjoy a variety of drinks.
