Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten Starnberg
Close to Munich, yet in a world of its own: a stay at the Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten Starnberg means enjoying culinary excellence in complete tranquility.
Summer retreats have a long tradition at Lake Starnberg. King Ludwig II of Bavaria and his cousin Empress Elisabeth I of Austria sought respite here just as much as everyone else who found summer in Munich less than appealing. Even today, Bavaria’s second-largest lake remains a popular destination. Since very few people here own a villa, we recommend a stay at the Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten Starnberg, featuring the Hemingway Bar, the Oliv’s restaurant, and the gourmet restaurant Aubergine—the only Michelin-starred establishment in Upper Bavaria’s Five Lakes Region.
“There must be a hero—we define this based on the season and inspiration. From this central theme, we develop the menu so that a harmonious and always somewhat surprising composition of flavors emerges.” An approach to ingredients that has been crowned with success: The gourmet restaurant Aubergine was awarded a 1 Michelin star again in 2025. The first was awarded in 2014. Those who don’t wish to sample an entire menu can get a taste of the cuisine with the selection of à la carte dishes. Unpretentious yet highly creative cuisine is served here. Though not highly awarded, the food at Restaurant Oliv’s is no less lovingly prepared. Exquisite ingredients such as freshly caught whitefish from Lake Starnberg or tender salt marsh lamb and free-range geese from the region characterize this highly acclaimed cuisine. Those who appreciate rum in their drinks will treat themselves to a cocktail at Hemingway’s Bar. With over 165 varieties, it boasts the largest selection of rum in Southern Germany.
The rooms and suites are furnished with select materials and the finest fabrics. It’s a pleasure to spend time here—just as it is in the fitness and wellness area above the rooftops of Starnberg. From the panoramic terrace, you can not only enjoy the view but also start thinking about which part of Lake Starnberg you’d like to explore. Or perhaps you’ll simply dream of the excellent dinner awaiting you that evening…
