Hotel Traube Tonbach
1st place: Amidst the pristine beauty of the Black Forest, you will find one of the most traditional gourmet addresses in Europe: the Traube Tonbach. The green grounds of the five-star superior hotel nestle high above Baiersbronn on the edge of the forest and have been family-owned since it was founded in 1789.
A spacious spa and wellness area as well as an active hospitality culture make the hotel the ideal destination for guests of all generations.
Today, the luxury resort is run by the owner family Finkbeiner in a highly personal manner - with a clear commitment to first-class hospitality. The multi-award-winning gourmet cuisine sets culinary standards: in 2025, "La Liste" named the Schwarzwaldstube the best restaurant in the world. It has consistently held three Michelin stars since 1992. Also in 2025, Traube Tonbach was one of only seven establishments in Germany to receive the coveted award of three MICHELIN Keys.
For eight generations, the history of the Traube Tonbach has been characterized by tradition-conscious consistency and careful renewal. Even a fire could not tarnish the success story. Where the historic original building burned down in 2020, a new place of enjoyment has long since emerged. Today, the culinary heart of the hotel ensemble is once again home to three very different à la carte restaurants.
The Schwarzwaldstube has stood for world-class haute cuisine for over four decades. The stage for the culinary art of chef Torsten Michel's three-star team is a dining room with a far-reaching view of the Tonbach Valley. The master of ceremonies of this culinary delight is the always attentive and cheerful brigade around sommelier Stéphane Gass and maître Nicolas Zimmermann.
Where the hotel's history began over 230 years ago with a tiny tavern for charcoal burners and forest workers, guests can now enjoy Florian Stolte's sophisticated gourmet cuisine in the "1789". In the modern "Schatzhauser" next door, it is not only the good forest spirit that promises the best. Florian Stolte fulfills the culinary wishes of his guests with a contemporary cuisine that serves up classics from the Black Forest as well as favorite dishes from around the world and fine steak cuts from the grill.
The resort celebrates relaxed luxury surrounded by the unique Black Forest. The 140 rooms and suites invite you to linger in comfort and space. In the main building, an elegant country house style creates a cosy ambience, while bright premium and family rooms as well as a panorama suite characterize the modern Haus Kohlwald. The Black Forest is omnipresent. Numerous hiking trails start directly at the hotel and promise a vacation experience close to nature with a variety of leisure and recreational opportunities at any time of year.
The SPA was created as a retreat where every guest can pursue their individual need for relaxation and regeneration. In the extensive wellness landscape, several indoor and outdoor pools with well-tempered spring water guarantee a special bathing experience. A new sauna and relaxation zone, the best care lines and the know-how of the beauty and wellness experts complete the luxurious experience on over 4500 m².
