Elegant property with standout fine dining and spa, but some comfort gaps for U.S. travelers.
Hotel Bayerischer Hof is a beautiful, historic hotel with warm and professional staff. The highlight of my stay—without question—was dinner at Atelier. The food was extraordinary, the staff attentive, and the entire experience unforgettable. If you’re staying here (or even if you’re not), book a reservation at Atelier—it’s truly world-class.
The Blue Spa also delivered—my massage was excellent and worth the visit. Just allow extra time, as check-in is a bit disjointed (robe and towel from the room, locker key from a separate floor).
While the hotel is grand, the in-room experience didn’t quite meet 5-star expectations. WiFi was unreliable, even with the high-speed upgrade, and there were no outlets near the bed. The TV wasn’t non-German-speaker friendly, and my Firestick didn’t work due to the weak WiFi signal. My room near the elevator was noisy at night, and though the bed was comfortable, it was two twins pushed together. The A/C struggled to cool the room and was quite loud—something to note if you’re a warm sleeper.
Overall, the service, spa, and dining deliver moments of true luxury—but the in-room experience and tech limitations may leave some guests feeling it falls just short of a true five-star stay.
