Horben & Freiburg · Black Forest

A sense of the place

Luisenhöhe — suite — The sitting area of a suite at Luisenhöhe: a grey wing armchair with yellow and check cushions and a footstool by a floor-to-ceiling window over the forested Black Forest hills, a striped tripod floor lamp, charcoal curtains, nesting black side tables with wild flowers on a round grey rug, a black sideboard and a wall-mounted television on oak panelling; nobody in frame — © Luisenhöhe

Luisenhöhe — restaurant — A table laid for two in the restaurant of Luisenhöhe: a round oak table with wine glasses, tumblers, folded napkins and a glass vase of carnations and grasses, a grey bouclé banquette and check armchairs, Edison bulbs hanging over the room and a blurred waiter in the background laying a table by the tall windows — © Luisenhöhe

Luisenhöhe — pool — The outdoor infinity pool of Luisenhöhe: rippling turquoise water running to a garden of grasses and white flowers, taupe parasols among tall beeches, low shingle-clad spa buildings at right and the forested hills of the Black Forest beyond under a clear blue sky; nobody in frame — © Luisenhöhe

Luisenhöhe — spa — The panoramic sauna of Luisenhöhe's spa: tiered pale ash benches under a slatted wooden ceiling, a black stone stove, dark slate floor tiles and a full-height glass wall onto a terrace and tall trees over the valley; nobody in frame — © Luisenhöhe

Why it's in the collection

Because the name is a mouthful and the idea is simple — light, wood, a view of the foothills from every bed and a wellness complex that earns the word — twenty minutes above one of Germany's most liveable cities.

At the north end of Horben, a picturesque hamlet above Freiburg in the south-western foothills, just over the Rhine from France; independent house.
Floor-to-ceiling panoramas from every room; the wellness complex with its long heated pool; enough terraces to take a different one every day; natural wood, boldly patterned textiles and mid-century furniture with an eco-conscious twist.
Two MICHELIN Keys in the 2025 selection; holds four-star standing.

The neighborhood

Dusk over Horben & Freiburg

Horben & Freiburg

The south-western foothills above Freiburg, with Horben on its sunny slope. They lie just over the Rhine from France and take in the Schauinsland cable car and the cathedral city twenty minutes below, about an hour and a half from Basel.

The Horben slopes and the Schauinsland cable car, minutes away.
Freiburg and its cathedral, about twenty minutes.
Basel airport, about an hour; Zurich, about an hour and three quarters.

“The restorative fundamentals of the Black Forest resort — light, wood and the foothills — at Horben above Freiburg.”
