The charming building dates back to 1508 and opened its doors as a hotel in 1856. Empress Elisabeth of Austria, often called Sisi, chose it to be her holiday home each time she visited her family in Bavaria. It is easy to understand why Sisi fell in love with this enchanted place.“Guests can especially look forward to our unique location. The view from the south-facing rooms and the roofed terrace over the scenic lake Starnberg and the gorgeous Bavarian Alps is stunning,”owner Erika Borchard tells us. And visitors can feel even more like Sisi herself:“On request we still prepare dishes from the original cookbook of Empress Elisabeth.” Since 1905 the hotel has been familyowned and managed by the third and fourth generation today. It has been carefully refurbished without altering the charming style. When you first come into
the entrance hall you may feel like you have been transported back in time, but as soon as you see the rooms and suites you will find wi-fi,TV and modern bathrooms. Borchard adds: “We combine history and tradition with contemporary comfort, modern technology and personal service.” As an inspiring, creative setting for business meetings and workshops, the conference facilities offer space for up to 100 people, and the special conference pavilion accommodates around 30 guests. Other smaller rooms are available and each space is equipped with modern presentation technology. “We are proud to have guests from all over the world, with many regulars coming back. Located between Munich and Garmisch we are the ideal
venue for family festivities and corporate events,”says Borchard. Guests can exercise in the gym, play tennis or relax in the sauna after a stroll in the park, which is home to one of the oldest golf courses in Germany. The hotel offers a range of great golf holiday packages with greenfee deductions for 16 surrounding golf courses. Culinary treats can be discovered at the Terraced Inn and the traditional Bierstueberl (beer pub) offers a romantic setting for a cold one or a glass of quality wine. The Kaiserin Elisabeth Golfhotel is striking, with its charming personality and superb facilities for a relaxing holiday or an inspirational business meeting. www.kaiserin-elisabeth.de
