Chiemgauhof Lakeside Retreat
2nd place: Since February 2025, Chiemgau has had a new top address for the lightness of being. Directly on the shores of the beautiful Chiemsee, the Chiemgauhof Lakeside Retreat sets standards as a member of the "Leading Hotels Of The World" in the first row on the shore.
The luxurious retreat - designed by Milanese architect Matteo Thun - blends harmoniously into the lakeside property with its striking wooden architecture. It follows in the tradition of the old Chiemgauhof, which was the jewel on the lake for decades. The style of the new Chiemgauhof, built from a variety of local woods, combines the heritage of the region with the advantages of modern hospitality.
With just 28 suites, a conscious decision was made to slow things down. Each one faces the lake and has its very own special feature. Whether panoramic windows with a cozy window seat for relaxing or a small private garden, gas fireplaces and your own sauna or alcove beds and a large roof terrace - here everyone will find a dream place just for themselves. The "Bootshaus" is available for parties and other events. Swimming, gym, yoga, golf ... From the heated 18-metre outdoor pool, it's just a few steps across the jetty to the head dive into the lake or a trip on the exclusive electric boat, stand-up paddling and more.
Tradition and modernity also merge in culinary terms. In the Chiemgauhof restaurant, chef Max Müller combines regional ingredients with creative sophistication, while the Lakeside Bar serves fresh sushi and cool drinks.
