Nestled on the tranquil shores of Lake Chiemsee, Chiemgauhof – Lakeside Retreat embodies relaxed luxury and timeless design. Reimagined by world-renowned architect Matteo Thun, the retreat combines contemporary aesthetics with natural harmony – where lake, forest, and mountains merge into a place of calm inspiration. Every detail reflects a deep connection to nature and the region’s craftsmanship, offering guests an authentic yet sophisticated Bavarian escape.
With just 28 rooms and suites, the Chiemgauhof offers an intimate, personalized experience – understated, warm, and quietly luxurious. The restaurant by culinary director Edip Sigl and his team celebrates the essence of the Chiemgau region with modern Alpine cuisine and a focus on sustainability and local producers. During summer, the private beach club invites guests to enjoy lake life at its most beautiful, while winter transforms the retreat into a serene hideaway with fireside charm.
As part of The Leading Hotels of the World, Chiemgauhof stands for individuality, design excellence, and heartfelt hospitality. It’s not just a hotel, but a destination for discerning travelers seeking authenticity, balance, and effortless beauty in one of Germany’s most inspiring landscapes.
The sense of spaciousness continues seamlessly into the suites, filled with warm wooded accents, regional design luxuries, cosy windows or balcony, all with lake views.
