Bodenmaiser Hof Hotel

The “new” Bodenmaiser Hof is already in the starting blocks. Here’s what’s coming: chic and cozy highlight suites, an additional activity pool, and a very special Rundai steam sauna. In addition, new deluxe relaxation areas will be created, and the lobby, the “Oma Rosa Bar,” and the Rundai distillery will be lovingly refurbished.

“It’s simply a love story—the Bodenmaiser Hof and me,” gushes owner Sandra Geiger-Pauli. The hotel traces its origins to 1923, when her great-grandparents founded it as a small lemonade and malt beer brewery.

“I feel a duty to the previous generations to keep carrying on,” says the mother of three. “It makes me proud to have this tradition. Every change is painful at first.” That is why it was important to her to preserve the local connection and, for example, use materials that are suited to the region. “The story behind it has to be right and fit who we are,” explains Sandra Geiger-Pauli.

Completion is scheduled for summer 2026,

yet until then guests may still indulge in the 3,500-square-meter wellness area with its array of pools and saunas. Guests may also partake in complimentary guided hiking and cycling excursions through the adjacent Bavarian Forest National Park—whether Nordic walking on Silberberg or ascending the Großer Arber—before surrendering to a range of treatments, such as the “Heavy Leg Massage.” Photographs: Hotel Bodenmaiser Hof
