New from 2027

The Enchanted Forest – a playroom just for children

With our new extension, our youngest guests will have their own kingdom: The Enchanted Forest – a playroom for romping, exploring, and relaxing – is being created right in the new lobby. This way, children will have a favorite spot in the hotel even on rainy days, while their parents can relax with a coffee in the adjacent lounge.
