Hotels with views of the lake

A room with a lake view usually costs a little more, but at certain hotels it is worth the extra cost. Here are 4 beautiful hotels right on the lake at Schliersee.

Seehotel Schlierseer Hof (€€€)

The Seehotel Schlierseer Hof is literally a stone’s throw from the shore. The view is first class: from the large beer garden, the private beach and the rooms with a lake view you can enjoy one of the most beautiful views over the Schliersee towards the mountains. Easy hikes such as the circular route around the lake or to the Schliersberg Alm start right outside the front door.

One shortcoming, however, is the hotels location on the main road (B307). The main thoroughfare through Schliersee runs right past the hotel. In return, accessibility by car is very good, the center of Schliersee and the Schliersee train station are within walking distance.
