Escape to Paradise: Hotel Dreisonnenberg, Germany - Unforgettable Luxury Awaits
Escape to Paradise: Hotel Dreisonnenberg - My Honest, Messy, and Utterly Delightful Take
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because I'm about to spill the tea (and maybe a little bit of coffee, you know, for the authenticity) on Hotel Dreisonnenberg, that supposed slice of heaven nestled in the German countryside. Forget the generic travel brochures. This is the real deal. Expect some rambling, some gushing, maybe a touch of side-eye… but mostly, pure, unadulterated, "I want to go back now" vibes.
Let's start with the basics, shall we? Because frankly, even I need to pretend I'm organized sometimes.
Accessibility: A Mixed Bag, With Some Bright Spots!
Listen, I'm not exactly a mobility expert, but I've learned to eye things. The website boasts "facilities for disabled guests," which usually means a slightly wider door and a ramp or two. Good, but let's get real: Wheelchair accessible is the gold standard here, and I think they deliver. You NEED to call ahead and confirm. And for the love of all that is holy, ask about the elevator. Don't assume. That's just asking for trouble.
Now, for those of us without mobility concerns, it's pretty smooth sailing. The front desk [24-hour] is key, meaning no frantic late-night scrambling. Plus, a real doorman! That's a level of old-school swank I can totally get behind. There's a car park [free of charge] and car park [on-site], so no wrestling with parking garages. Bonus! They even have a car power charging station if you're rocking an electric whip!
Oh, and for those of us in the modern age: Internet access – wireless is, thank God, free Wi-Fi in all rooms! and even in Wi-Fi in public areas. Seriously, I shudder to think of a hotel in this day and age without it. And while we're at it, there's Internet [LAN], if you're old-school like me and prefer that wired connection for a super-secure connection.
Cleanliness and Safety: Feeling Safe in a Cozy German Haven
This is where Dreisonnenberg shines. This isn't just "clean" – it's practically sterile. I'm talking Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Hand sanitizer everywhere, and Staff trained in safety protocol. They've clearly taken COVID very seriously, which, in my book, is a massive win. Plus, they offer Room sanitization opt-out available, which is great if you are too cautious. I was comforted by the physical distancing of at least 1 meter. This is not just a place to stay, it's a secure sanctuary.
Plus, the rooms themselves are a haven! You can expect smoke alarms, soundproof rooms, and fire extinguishers in the hall. They've got CCTV in common areas, CCTV outside property, and security [24-hour]. I'm not saying you need all that, but it's a major comfort!
Side note: they even offered Sanitized kitchen and tableware items. I didn't use the kitchen, but I was happy to know they weren't cutting corners.
Rooms: Your Personal Sanctuary
Okay, let's dive into the rooms because that's where the magic really happens. Air conditioning is a must, thank goodness. And the blackout curtains? Glorious. I'm a light sleeper, and those saved me from waking at the crack of dawn (which is a crime on vacation). The bathrobes were fluffy and amazing, and the slippers, oh, the slippers! That's a small detail that makes a huge difference.
They have non-smoking rooms, which I appreciate because, well, the air in the room should be fresh! Free bottled water is a lifesaver. And the coffee/tea maker? Essential fuel for exploring. Extra long bed? Score! In-room safe box? Check. Mini bar? Yes, please. They've thought of everything.
I have to mention, the Separate shower/bathtub situation was perfect. Plus, the toiletries were high quality, and the mirror was in a good position.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Feasting like a Sovereign
Alright, fellow foodies, this is where the good times really roll. Buckle up for a culinary adventure.
They have a Breakfast [buffet]. This is a must. The German breakfast is legendary. Trust me, it does not disappoint. Breakfast service? You bet. Breakfast in room? Yes, if you're feeling lazy. They also have an Asian breakfast, which I skipped over, but I'm sure it's good. The Coffee/tea in restaurant is a must.
Restaurants? Plural! A la carte is available. I got to try International cuisine in restaurant which was delicious, but I didn't check out all the Asian cuisine in restaurant options. But, Vegetarian restaurant is present and happy hour, so that is perfect.
And the Poolside bar? Don't get me started! Picture this: golden sunshine, a gentle breeze, and a cocktail in hand. Pure bliss.
Anecdote time: I remember sitting there, nursing a perfectly crafted Aperol Spritz, and just… breathing. The world melted away. The food was delicious, service was friendly, and the atmosphere was pure relaxation.
Things to Do, Ways to Relax: Your Pleasure, Their Priority
Okay, let's get to the really good stuff: the pampering.
The Swimming pool [outdoor] is gorgeous, I got a good swim. The Pool with view? Seriously, the views from this place are unreal. The Sauna? Yes, please! Spa/sauna, they have both. Spa? They have that too!
I got a Body scrub and Massage. The massage! Oh, the massage. I could barely remember my name afterwards. The therapist was incredibly skilled.
They also have a Fitness center, if you're into that sort of thing. I opted out (hey, vacation!). But hey, more power to you. They also offer a Gym/fitness Foot bath and Steamroom.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Extras That Make You Swoon
Let's quickly hit the amenities, because, frankly, the little things matter.
They have a Concierge. A real concierge! Someone to help you with anything, from dinner reservations to local tips. The Dry cleaning, Ironing service, and Laundry service definitely came in handy. Daily housekeeping, and Luggage storage just add to the seamless experience. The provided Essential condiments were great.
For the Kids: Family-Friendly Fun!
While I didn't travel with kids, they seem pretty well catered-for. There's Babysitting service, Family/child friendly, and Kids meal.
Getting Around: Easy Peazy
Getting to and from the hotel is easy. There's Airport transfer, Taxi service, and Valet parking!
My Rating:
Overall, I give Hotel Dreisonnenberg a solid 4.5 out of 5 stars. The cleanliness, the service, the food, and the sheer relaxation factor? Top-notch. The accessibility situation could use a little clarity, but the overall experience is so amazing. And I would definitely go back in a heartbeat!

Okay, buckle up, buttercups. This isn't your meticulously-planned, sterile-brochure-copy itinerary. This is my potential train wreck of a trip to Hotel Dreisonnenberg, Germany. I'm talking messy, honest, and hopefully, a little bit hilarious. Let's see if I can even manage to find my way around a decent itinerary after all this rambling. Good luck to us both, honestly.
Day 1: Arrival and Disorientation in the Black Forest (aka "Why Did I Pack So Many Socks?")
- 9:00 AM (ish): Wake up. Or, let's be honest, drag myself out of bed. The anticipation is real, the sleep deficit is realer. Finally, the airport (Munich). The flight was a blur of lukewarm coffee and crying babies. Did I bring enough snacks? Am I actually going to make it through this?
- 11:30 AM: Attempt to navigate Munich Airport. This place is the size of a small country. I'm convinced they designed it to make you feel incredibly stupid. Find the train station. Find the right platform. Fail to understand the German announcements. Hope… I think… I hope that's the train to Freiburg.
- 1:00 PM: Finally on the train. Sigh of relief. Except, wait… did I leave my phone charger? Ugh. Already regretting leaving the house.
- 3:00 PM: Arrive in Freiburg! Feel a surge of something that could be excitement, or just a desperate need for a pretzel. The city looks charming though. Cobblestone streets! Little canals! Is that a church? Maybe I'll visit it, maybe I won't.
- 4:00 PM: The dreaded Hotel Transfer. Okay, so the shuttle is supposed to pick me up. Now where the heck is the shuttle? Finally, I see it! Hallelujah! The driver doesn't seem to speak a word of English, which is a bit terrifying, but hey, immersion.
- 5:00 PM: Arrive at Hotel Dreisonnenberg. Ahem. It's… rustic. In a charming way. Or maybe just… old. The lobby smells faintly of pine needles and something else I can't quite place. Maybe it's the forest itself, I think. The staff are friendly, but I swear, I have an accent that I feel like everyone understands, not. Checkout, done. Finally, to the room!
- 6:00 PM: Room check-in. I think I may have been assigned a room that only an Olympic mountain climber could access. But the view… oh god, the view. That's all I am going to say about the view.
- 7:00 PM: Dinner at the hotel restaurant. The menus are in German (surprise!), but managed to order something that turns out to be delicious. Wine. Very necessary. People-watch, judge silently.
- 8:30 PM: Attempt to decipher the local TV channels. Find a documentary about wood carving. Immediately fall asleep.
Day 2: Black Forest Bliss (and Mild Existential Dread)
- 8:00 AM: Wake up to birdsong. Not a siren. Truly beautiful. Stroll through the forest. Ah, the air! Breathes deeply.
- 9:00 AM: Breakfast. A buffet of wurst, cheeses, and questionable coffee. It's okay, I'll survive.
- 10:00 AM: The Hike. I decided to be adventurous. I pick a trail I think is easy. I am so very wrong. The forest gets incredibly dense, the trail gets steeper, I am regretting my choice of footwear. I swear I passed the same thing about 10 times, where I don't even know what it is.
- 12:00 PM: Finally made it to the top! The view from the lookout point is stunning, and worth it.
- 1:00 PM: Lunch at a local Gasthof. Delicious, hearty food. It's all starting to taste the same.
- 2:00 PM: I'm going to double down on a single day, as requested: It's time for the Cuckoo Clock Extravaganza. I'm going to the Cuckoo Clock Museum in Triberg. I mean, how often do you get to see a museum dedicated to ticking, chirping, and tiny dancing figurines?
- 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM: Triberg. The drive is beautiful. The air smells like pine and something else… like home. I am starting to forget where I am, and what day it is.
- 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM: The Cuckoo Clock Museum. The sheer number of clocks is staggering. I'm talking walls covered, shelves overflowing, every corner displaying a different version of the glorious bird. I mean, they're kitsch, yes, but also undeniably charming. And the intricate mechanisms! I could spend hours just staring at the gears and pendulums, but I do not want to be the person who gets stuck in a museum.
- 5:00 AM: I buy a cuckoo clock. A tiny, unassuming one. I have no idea where I'm going to put it, or how I'm going to take it home, but I had to have one. It feels wrong to leave without something.
- 7:00 PM: Dinner at a traditional restaurant in Triberg. More sausage. More beer. Maybe a little too much beer. I am already feeling the effects of the day.
- 8:00 PM: The drive back to the hotel. The winding roads and the falling sun have started doing their thing.
- 9:00 PM: Back at the hotel, I’m so tired. I am actually exhausted. Fall into bed in a near-catatonic state, the gentle ticking of my cuckoo clock lulling me to sleep. I’m actually happy.
Day 3: Spa Day and Farewell (or "Why Didn't I Bring a Bathrobe?")
- 9:00 AM: Wake up. Sore muscles. I think I’ll need a massage.
- 10:00 AM: The hotel spa. Deep Tissue massage. I think I might have fallen asleep on the massage table.
- 12:00 PM: Lunch. (I've completely lost track of what I'm eating at this point). Maybe I'll order a salad? Or I’ll just eat more wurst. Who am I kidding?
- 1:00 PM: Free time!
- 2:00 PM: Check-out. Sad that it’s over.
- 3:00 PM: The shuttle picks me up. It feels like I've been here for weeks, not days.
- 5:00 PM: Travel back to Munich Airport.
- 7:00 PM: The airport. So tired of airports.
- 9:00 PM: Boarding.
- 10:00 PM: Plane is about to take off. Exhausted. Happy.
- 12:00 AM (next day): Home!
Post-Trip Thoughts:
- Did I learn anything? Maybe. Probably not.
- Would I go back? Absolutely. Even the socks. Even the wurst. Even the cuckoo clocks.
- Is this an itinerary? Maybe. Does it reflect the true spirit of travel? Definitely.
And that, my friends, is my trip to Hotel Dreisonnenberg. Godspeed to anyone who actually tries to follow this… thing.

Escape to Paradise: Hotel Dreisonnenberg - Frequently Asked Questions (and my thoughts, TBH)
Is the Hotel Dreisonnenberg *really* as luxurious as the website claims?
Okay, let's be real. "Luxurious" is a word hotels love to throw around like confetti. And Dreisonnenberg? Yeah, it's pretty darn close. Think fluffy robes, a minibar that's actually stocked with interesting things (not just tiny bottles of juice), and a bed you could *actually* get lost in. I spent a solid hour just *bouncing* on that mattress. It was therapeutic, okay? Don't judge.
But… (and there's always a "but," isn't there?) It's not sterile luxury. It feels... warm. Like the kind of luxury where you *could* spill red wine on the cream-colored carpet and not get a death glare from the staff. (Disclaimer: I didn't spill red wine. This time.)
What's the deal with the spa? Is it worth it?
The spa, oh glorious spa! Worth it? Absolutely. I mean, I’m not a spa *person* per se. I’m more of a “throw-on-a-face-mask-while-watching-Netflix” kind of gal. But this… this was different. The steam room smelled faintly of pine needles and serenity. I may, or may not have, fallen asleep in the relaxation room. The massage? My shoulders have finally unfurled after years of computer hunching.
Here’s the *slightly* messy part: I booked the “couples massage” thinking, "romantic!" Then, my partner, bless his heart, started snoring louder than a chainsaw. I was simultaneously relaxed and mortified. But hey, even in paradise, life throws you curveballs. Still worth it. Just maybe… book a solo massage next time.
The website boasts about the views. Are they *actually* amazing?
Look, I’m a sucker for a good view. And yes, the Dreisonnenberg delivers. Panoramic vistas of the Alps, forests stretching as far as the eye can see… It's Instagram gold, for sure. (I took *way* too many photos.)
But here's the secret: The *best* part? The sunsets. They literally painted the sky with vibrant oranges, pinks, and purples. One evening, I sat on my balcony, sipping a glass of local wine (delicious!), watching the sun dip below the peaks. It was utterly, ridiculously, embarrassingly romantic. I might have teared up a little. Don't tell anyone.
What's the food like? I'm a foodie!
As a self-proclaimed foodie (read: someone who *really* enjoys eating), I can tell you the food at Dreisonnenberg is excellent. Not Michelin-starred, maybe, but seriously enjoyable. Breakfast was a feast! Imagine: fresh bread, local cheeses, smoked salmon, and a coffee machine that actually understood my caffeine needs. The lunches and dinners featured creative dishes, often using local, seasonal ingredients.
My one tiny, tiny, tiny gripe? The schnitzel was *good*, not *great*. But hey, you can't win 'em all. Overall, the food was a definite highlight. I may have had a second helping (or three) of the Black Forest cake. No regrets.
Are there activities to do besides lounging around?
Yes! Loads! Hiking trails abound (though I confess, I spent more time on the balcony reading… and napping). You can bike, go horseback riding, even take a cooking class. They've got a whole list of things you can do. But… and I’m going to be blunt, here… I found myself constantly drawn back to the hotel. The lure of that comfy bed, the spa, the endless supply of delicious food… It was hard to drag myself away. Call me lazy, but even Paradise needs a bit of downtime, right?
One day, I *did* manage to venture out for a short hike. It was beautiful! But I was also slightly terrified of bears. Apparently, they're around. Note to self: Learn bear safety before next trip.
Is it family-friendly?
That's a tough one. They *say* they are. I'm not sure I'd describe the Dreisonnenberg as a "kid-packed, amusement-park-style" hotel. It's more of a quiet, relaxing getaway. There's a kids' club, I think… but the main vibe is sophisticated serenity. If you're looking for a place to truly *unwind*, this is a great choice. If you are looking for a non-stop stream of entertainments for Kids, maybe not so much.
What's the staff like?
The staff? Absolutely lovely. They're attentive, friendly, and genuinely seem to care that you're having a good time. They remember your name (scary, but nice), offer helpful suggestions for activities, and generally go above and beyond. One time, I misplaced my phone. (I blame the wine.) They spent ages helping me look for it! They found it. Disaster averted! True heroes. They also have a habit of always being there when you needed help, while never being overbearing. Perfect balance.
Honestly, the service level was impeccable. It really made the whole experience feel extra special. I tip my hat to them.
Would you go back?
In a heartbeat. Okay, maybe I wouldn’t bring the snoring partner next time, but yes! I would absolutely, positively go back. The tranquility, the views, the food (despite the not-perfect schnitzel), the spa… It’s a truly special place. It might even become my "happy place". I'm already plotting my return!
But, be warned: It might ruin you for other hotels. Because after Dreisonnenberg, everything else will just feel… less. Consider yourself cautioned.
