Axelmannstein
Located in stunning Alpine scenery, The Axelmannstein is one of Bavaria's most magnificent hotels. Its long history is dating back to 1846.
The Axelmannstein commands a large part of the pedestrian area in the heart of this Bavarian city. It has two restaurants, one is "gemutlich" Bavarian style inn with an open show kitchen, the other one is the fine dining restaurant, its huge windows overlooking the park. Breakfast is served here, too.
The best suites of the house with even larger terraces also overlook the park which also holds a little swimming lake, in case you prefer fresh water to the heated indoor pool.
