We went to celebrate our wedding anniversary at this beautiful lakeside hotel. We are very demanding guests. This hotel met all of our expectations. The suroundings are surreal, the hotel is beautiful and in the local style, and the staff are friendly and helpful. Everyday, they brought a little present to our room. We felt very welcome and special. We had reserved half board and were not dissapointed. The 4 course meal every night was delicious. The spa and swimming pool are lovely. We had one of the best messages ever experienced at a very reasonable price. There are discrete staff everywhere to look after your every need. We would recommend this spot for couples as well as families with children of all ages. The area provides enough activities to keep anybody as busy (or not) as you want.

There wasn't much snow last week (18 to 24 Feb 07) but the Arabella Sheraton at Spitzingsee gave us an outstanding skiing holiday. The hotel facilities were excellent, far and away above normal "ski hotel" standards, with a good pool/spa for easing aching muscles after a day on the slopes. The hotel has a garage underneath, so you can get from room to car with minimum fuss, and the drive to the skilifts is only a few minutes.

The hotel has two restaurants, but we only used the Italian one, which had a good daily special and a reasonably priced and good quality a la carte. Particularly impressive was the wine list.

The hotel is located right on the lakeside, and we may well return during the summer as we can imagine that it would also be beautiful then.

I loved this hotel and want to return soon. We had a huge suite consisting of 1 very large bedroom, 1 smaller bedroom, a living room with a porch and a huge bathroom with separate tub and shower. The rooms were beautiful, very rustic and woody. There were more closets and cupboards than anyone could possibly need on a vacation. We were there during the summer and I think we were the only non-Germans, as far as I could tell.

The spa and swimming pool were magnificent with a beautiful tranquil view of the lake. Had trouble getting the kids out of that heated salted-pool and jacuzzi. The breakfast at the hotel was excellent.
Had lunch once at the hotel and that was not memorable. Don't even remember what I had. The truly good local food is in the smaller hotel across the street, where we had all our dinners.

Very relaxing vacation in nice surroundings.
Can't wait to go back to Spitzingsee.

My husband and I just returned from celebrating our anniversary at this hotel. We didn´t know what to expect when we could´t even find Spitzingsee on a map....but we were overwhelmingly pleased by this hotel. For those with sports on their mind (hiking, biking-road and mountain, skiing, swimming, ect) this was absolutely the perfect place. Only 60KM from Munich and it felt like we were hours away. The restaurant was good, with a large breakfast buffet served every morning. The bed in the room was one of the most comfortable we have ever slept in. Wow. Also, we found the staff to be very friendly and knowledgeable about the area´s activities.
