Kempinski Hotel Berchtesgaden
Kempinski · Berchtesgaden · Bavarian Alps
A sense of the place
Why it's in the collection
Because the location is hard to beat — the Watzmann and the Untersberg across the valley — and the house does not lean on it: the duplex suites, the spa and the two-star table would hold their own at sea level.
- On the Obersalzberg above Berchtesgaden, a thousand meters up; a Kempinski house.
- Penthouse duplex suites with roof terraces; the harmonious, chic, modern interior in top-notch materials; the first-rate spa; Johann Grill and the sleek two-star PUR; the fireplace bar and its Eckerbichl-Torte.
- Two MICHELIN Keys in the 2025 selection; holds four-star standing.
The neighborhood

- The Obersalzberg trails, at the door.
- Berchtesgaden and the Königssee, about fifteen minutes.
- Salzburg airport, about forty minutes; Munich, about two hours.
