The hotels in Oberammergau , whether 5-star or not, are filled with the charm of the area. The Bavarian influence is found everywhere--in the chalet-like design of the hotels, in the local food that is served in their restaurants, in the manners of the staff and in the coziness of the rooms. This story-book town high in the Alps offers the visitor many different options for accommodations, from moderate to luxury, and in-between.

Budget Hotels

Budget hotels in Oberammergau will stun you with their beauty, cleanliness, and hospitality. Most budget hotels here are akin to small inns, with bountiful kitchens and many unexpected amenities. Take Hotel Alte Post, for example, where you will find a wonderful mix of sophistication in the Internet café and local charm in the loft beds that are featured in some rooms. Hotel Der Schilcherhof, another budget hotel, is family run and offers guests a breakfast feast that is included in the price of the room. While rooms may be simple, they are indeed a good value in this Alpine town.

Moderate Hotels

A bit more expensive, but still quite affordable, moderate hotels feature a few more extras than budget hotels. At the fairly-priced Minotel Turmwirt guests have wireless Internet access throughout the hotel as well as satellite television in their rooms. With a décor outside that calls out Bavaria , the inside is a bit more formal with classic window treatments and soft shades of beige. Well-known for its restaurant, this choice is a favorite for Europeans as well as Americans. As with most hotels in Oberammergau, breakfast is included in the price of the room.

Luxury Hotels

There are only a handful of hotels that qualify as luxury hotels in Oberammergau , and even they tend toward the picturesque Bavarian style. One excellent example is the Hotel Maxmilian, which is relatively new since it opened just a few years ago. Unlike most hotels in Oberammergau, this option has an in-house spa where guests are able to enjoy a massage and other spa activities. The rooms here are spacious and there is an excellent gourmet restaurant called St. Benoît. An added attraction is the brewery which is on the grounds and provides beer for the hotel’s beer garden and sun terrace. Conveniently located right in Oberammergau , it is within walking distance of the famed Passion Play Theater, that draws many to this charming town.
