Brenners Park-Hotel & Spa is located in Baden-Baden, a charming spa town at the edge of the Black Forest in southwest Germany. Set amidst private gardens with stunning views of the tree-lined Lichtentaler Allée along the Oos River’s west bank, the elegant retreat is just a five-minute walk from the city centre. A leisurely stroll reveals cultural treasures aplenty – a quaint old town with cobbled streets, chic boutiques and galleries, a Fabergé museum and Europe’s largest opera house to name a few. Stretch your legs on a scenic forest hike or take a soothing soak in one of the area’s famous thermal baths, some of which date back 2,000 years.

Just say the word and the hotel’s impeccable concierge team can curate a host of fabulous excursions to help you experience the best the region has to offer. Venture up into the mountains with a gourmet picnic basket for an alfresco feast with extraordinary views or buckle up for a nostalgic drive in a classic VW, passing through picturesque countryside and storybook towns along the way. If you prefer your vistas with a side of adrenaline, clip on a harness for a thrilling high-ropes adventure and ride Germany’s longest and steepest funicular railway to the top of Merkur Mountain. The possibilities are endless.

Featuring on the UNESCO World Heritage List of great European spa towns, it’s only natural that Baden-Baden is home to a world-class healing centre – and, luckily for guests, it’s located at this very hotel. Villa Stéphanie is a five-floor medi-spa set in its own annexe, boasting all the traditional wellness offerings you’d expect (think luxurious massages and facials, an enormous swimming pool and a hammam) alongside sought-after residential programmes combining modern medicine with holistic therapies and aesthetic treatments. There’s also a state-of-the-art gym, personal trainers, yoga, cycling and kickboxing.

A haven for discerning foodies, Brenners Park-Hotel & Spa prides itself on using only the finest-quality local ingredients in its much-lauded restaurants, from asparagus grown at a Black Forest farm to honey harvested from nearby beehives. Try the daily-changing seasonal menu and indulgent afternoon tea at Wintergarten, set in a light-filled conservatory that opens out onto a panoramic terrace overlooking the river. For romantic dinners and lively celebrations, meanwhile, book a table at swanky Fritz & Felix, where talented chefs whip up eclectic global fare and inventive vegetarian cuisine in a glass-encased live kitchen. Finish a memorable night with cocktails and live music in the Roaring Twenties-inspired bar.

Brenners Park-Hotel & Spa has 103 elegant rooms and suites. No two are decorated the same, however all are classically styled with large windows, plush beds and beautiful antiques; many also have wrought-iron balconies and terraces with scenic views over the river and Lichtentaler Allée. Bathrooms are palatial, with sleek marble interiors featuring bathtubs, walk-in showers and double basins, and the attention to detail is impeccable, with lots of little touches to personalise your stay and make you feel at home. There’s even a bedding menu with different pillows, blankets and quilts, allowing you to curate your perfect night’s sleep.

The Parkvilla is the perfect choice if you crave extra privacy and space. The lavish private residence, entered via its own imposing front door, offers a trio of extravagant two-bedroom retreats spread over three floors – including the top-floor Penthouse Suite, which boasts generous ensuite bedrooms, a roof terrace with stunning park views, a kitchenette and dining room for private dining, and even a private cinema where you can enjoy private movie nights.
