Prices, Offers & Booking

Where and how can I get the best price?

You will always get the best price for your break directly from us. Our prices are based on demand, season, and length of stay—a principle that means the following for you as a guest: the earlier you book and the longer your stay, the more attractive the price will generally be. Many guests appreciate this transparency and book early to secure their desired dates and the best conditions.

In our online booking calendar, you can see all available room categories, offers, and seasonal benefits immediately and without waiting. If you prefer a single room, need several rooms, or a period does not appear available online, it is worth sending a quick inquiry via hotel-diedrich.de/anfragen. We can often offer more than what is visible online—and that is part of our hospitality philosophy.

Why is there no 3/4 board or light lunch?

We deliberately do not offer a fixed lunch buffet or 3/4 board. Many guests spend their days doing whatever they like—in the spa, in their rooms, outdoors in the nature surrounding Hallenberg, or on walks in the surrounding countryside. A daily lunch buffet would lead to avoidable food waste. We want to work mindfully and sustainably.

By focusing on a delicious breakfast and an evening menu, we can cook fresh, clear, and with a commitment to craftsmanship, without having to prepare dishes that may not even be used. For those feeling peckish between meals, our snack menu is available—light, fresh, and ideal for a wellness routine.

What are the benefits of early bird and long-term booking offers?

Our early bird and long stay offers are a thank you to all those who like to plan their wellness vacation early or deliberately want to stay longer. The early bird offer gives you a price advantage if you book at least 60 days in advance and stay for two or more nights. Many guests take advantage of this opportunity to secure their desired dates early, especially on weekends.

The long-stay offer is aimed at anyone who wants to extend their break. For stays of six nights or more, we offer you a significant price advantage so that your relaxation doesn't have to end too soon. Both offers are valid all year round – with the exception of seasonal specials, which offer their own very attractive benefits.

What does half board include?

Your half-board includes a freshly prepared four-course dinner every evening. The kitchen deliberately avoids additives and emphasizes clear flavors, regional ingredients, and seasonal inspiration. A vegetarian alternative is always available. Many guests enjoy their dinner as a pleasant end to a relaxing day, often accompanied by a good glass of wine.

In the morning, a generous late riser's breakfast awaits you with hot and cold dishes, fresh fruit, cakes, juices, regional products, and small specialties that vary daily. Together, breakfast and dinner form the culinary framework of your stay—light, high-quality, and perfectly suited to a peaceful break at the DIEDRICH Wellnesshotel & Spa.

Can I eat à la carte instead of half board?

Yes, of course. If you would prefer to dine à la carte on a particular evening, please let us know by 12:00 noon at the latest. This will allow our kitchen team to plan the evening carefully and conserve resources. For each half-board menu not used, we will credit €20.00 to your room bill.

Can price advantages be combined with each other?

No, individual price advantages—such as early bird, long-term booking, and seasonal specials—cannot be combined. However, we always automatically recommend the cheapest option for your stay. Transparency is important to us, and we want to ensure that you get the best price for you.

What is the best way to book—online or by request?

For many guests, online booking is the easiest way: they can immediately see all available categories, prices, and packages. The system is particularly suitable for traditional stays and clearly defined periods.

However, if you would like a single room, need several rooms, or are planning a special arrangement, it is often better to send an inquiry via hotel-diedrich.de/anfragen. We will then personally review all options—we can often offer solutions that are not visible online.

How can I change or cancel my booking?

It is not possible to change the dates of your reservation. If you wish to change the period of your stay, you must cancel your existing reservation in accordance with the cancellation policy and then make a new booking. This is the only way we can ensure that prices, categories, and services remain accurate and transparent.

Please refer to your booking confirmation to find out whether and to what extent costs will be incurred. You can also find the terms and conditions at hotel-diedrich.de/reservierungsbedingungen. If you are unsure, please do not hesitate to contact us—we will advise you honestly and clearly.

Should I take out travel cancellation insurance?

Yes, we recommend this. A wellness vacation is something wonderful and valuable, and unexpected illness or family emergencies can always happen. With travel cancellation insurance, you are on the safe side. For more information, visit hotel-diedrich.de/ergo.

When do I pay and what payment methods can I use?

Payment is conveniently made at check-out. We accept cash and debit cards. If possible, we ask that you refrain from using credit cards, as these incur higher fees. Many guests appreciate the straightforward process on site.

Do you accept groups?

Our hotel is primarily a retreat for couples, groups of friends, and small groups of friends who are looking for peace and relaxation. Smaller groups are therefore welcome, as long as they fit into the relaxed atmosphere and focus on wellness and relaxation.

However, in order to maintain the special tranquility of the hotel, we do not accept large groups or celebrations such as bachelor parties. Experience has shown that the nature of such events—as understandable as the desire for a special day may be—is difficult to reconcile with the quiet, soothing atmosphere of our adults-only wellness hotel. We ask for your understanding in this matter.

I am interested in staying over Christmas. Is that possible?

Our office will be closed over Christmas so that our team can spend the holidays with their families. We will be back on December 27, ready to serve you with enthusiasm and renewed energy.

You can always find the exact Christmas closing times and company holidays in the footer of our website. If you are planning a break during Advent or between Christmas and New Year, we will be happy to advise you on the right offers.

I am interested in staying over New Year's Eve. Is there a special offer for this?

Yes. The turn of the year is a quiet transition for us—with enjoyment and spa time (on December 31 until 1:00 a.m.), without dancing and without loud music. More and more people want peace and quiet on New Year's Eve above all else; a pleasant evening and a relaxed start to the new year.

Details about the New Year's Eve offer and the current terms and conditions can be found on our offers page at hotel-diedrich.de/angebot/silvester-im-sauerland.

Rooms, amenities & stay

Where can I find the room categories?

A complete overview of all room categories—including pictures, sizes, locations, and character—can be found at hotel-diedrich.de/zimmer. Each room has been deliberately designed with clear architecture, warm materials, and a calm color scheme that promotes relaxation.

If you are unsure which category suits you best, we will be happy to advise you personally. Many guests make an intuitive decision when they see the pictures or simply let us inspire them briefly.

Can I book a double room for single use?

Yes, this is possible subject to availability. Many solo travelers enjoy the spaciousness and tranquility of a double room. The single occupancy quotas visible online are sometimes limited, so it is worth making an inquiry. We will be happy to check individually what options are available for your period.

What pillows and duvets are provided in the rooms?

You will sleep on high-quality Airfect products, which are renowned for their exceptional comfort. The Airfect Original pillow combines a sensitive pocket spring core with adaptable visco foam and supports the neck in a comfortable, natural way. Many guests report that after just a few nights, they sleep much more soundly and would not want to be without this pillow at home.

The pillow is complemented by the Airfect Prestige duvet—a lightweight, breathable all-season duvet with a climate-regulating cotton cover. It ensures a balanced, dry sleeping environment and a soothing feeling of comfort. If you prefer to use a classic 80×80 pillow, we will of course bring one to your room.

Upon request, you can purchase both pillows and duvets at the reception desk—many guests enjoy taking this special feeling home with them.

Do you offer double rooms with separate beds?

No, we do not offer separate beds. Our rooms feature high-quality double beds or continuous sleeping systems that have been specifically designed to promote rest and quality sleep. If you would like to sleep separately, we recommend two single rooms or two double rooms for single use.

Why are there no coffee machines in the rooms?

We deliberately do not use coffee machines – for reasons of hygiene, sustainability, and the tranquil aesthetics of our rooms. Small machines are difficult to clean thoroughly on a permanent basis during normal hotel operations, produce unnecessary waste, and would conflict with the clear, soothing design philosophy of our rooms.

Instead, you can enjoy fresh coffee in many places throughout the hotel: at breakfast, in the restaurant, on the terrace, or at the bar. Many guests find it pleasant that their rooms remain free of the sound of appliances and the smell of coffee—a quiet space that immediately looks and feels like a place to relax.

When are the rooms cleaned?

Room cleaning takes place daily between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. If you would like to sleep, read, or simply remain undisturbed during this time, please hang the appropriate sign on your door. If you would like your room cleaned at a different time, please let us know—if it is organizationally possible, we will of course fulfill your request.

Are bathrobes and sauna towels available?

Yes, a wellness bag with a bathrobe is waiting for you in your room. Sauna towels are available at the spa entrance. We would be grateful if you could bring your own slippers—this is both more hygienic and more sustainable.

Is there Wi-Fi in the hotel?

Yes – throughout the entire building. Network: "germanhotspot – Hotel Diedrich." You will receive the password during check-in.

How does room selection work when booking online?

The online booking system covers most of our room capacity. However, some configurations—such as single occupancy, longer stays, multiple rooms, or specific location requests—can only be booked on request.

If you have a specific room in mind, please send us a message. We can often offer more than what appears online.

Are there rest periods?

From early evening onwards, we ask that you keep noise to a minimum in the corridors and spa area to maintain the peaceful atmosphere in the hotel.

How can I ensure that I get my preferred room?

Simply let us know your preference when booking or making an inquiry. The earlier you reserve, the more likely we are to be able to accommodate your favorite room. We will do our best to fulfill your wishes.

Is there a refrigerator or minibar in the room?

What used to be the minibar is now your refrigerator. Here you will also find complimentary water for your stay. Snacks and beverages are available from the vending machine on the first floor above the reception desk.

Can I extend my stay if I like it here?

We would be delighted to assist you. If we have rooms available, we can easily extend your stay—sometimes even spontaneously during the day. Many guests decide to do so when they realize how beneficial and relaxing the break is. Simply ask us at the reception desk whether an extension is possible.

Is there a dress code in the restaurant or hotel?

No, there is no strict dress code. Our guests usually dress in a smart-casual style in the evening – as befits a wellness vacation. We kindly ask that you do not wear bathrobes in the restaurant and bar. In all other areas, you are free to dress as you please.

Can I walk around the hotel in my bathrobe?

Yes, of course. Bathrobes are perfectly acceptable and encouraged in your room, in the spa, and between the different spa levels—after all, that's what a wellness hotel is for.
Please wear normal clothing only in the restaurant and bar. You are, of course, welcome to sit in your bathrobe in the spa bistro.

Can I work at the hotel or use my laptop?

Yes, of course—as long as other guests are not disturbed. Many guests use their rooms for quiet work or reading. However, laptops and typing are not permitted in the spa's relaxation areas, as these areas are deliberately reserved for quiet.
Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel, and if you need a little break from the screen, you will find beautiful places to close your eyes in our relaxation rooms.

Arrival, check-in, and check-out

When can I arrive and check into my room?

Your room will be available from 3:00 p.m. The period between 3:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. is ideal for a relaxed check-in. Many guests use the time before that to arrive at the spa, have a coffee, or enjoy their first view of the valley.

Can I arrive before 3:00 p.m. or use the spa?

Yes, that is possible. The spa area is available from 12:30 p.m., so you can dive right into your break. Please note that you cannot check into your room until 3:00 p.m.

In addition, depending on occupancy, we offer two special options: breakfast on the day of arrival including early spa access, or early room check-in including breakfast. Both options allow you to start your wellness vacation in a particularly gentle way. Please feel free to ask us about these options in advance.

Is it possible to arrive after 9:00 PM?

Yes, late arrival is possible. Please let us know in advance so that we can securely store your room key in the key safe. You can then arrive independently and completely relaxed—a reassuring thought for many guests when their arrival is delayed.

When do I have to check out on the day of departure?

Your room is available until 11:00 a.m. Many guests use the morning for a leisurely breakfast, a final sauna session, or a dip in the warm outdoor pool.

Can I use the spa area for longer on the day of departure?

Yes, with a booked spa late check-out, you can continue to enjoy the wellness area on your departure day. Changing rooms and lockers are available so that you can consciously bring the day to a close—without time pressure, without rushing.

Can I keep the room until the evening?

If available, you can book a late check-out until 9:00 PM. This option is popular and can therefore only be confirmed at short notice. Just ask us during your stay.

Where can I park?

Free parking spaces are available directly at the hotel. This makes arrival and departure easier and ensures that your wellness vacation practically begins as soon as you step out of your car.

Can I charge my electric car at the hotel?

Yes, we have several charging stations. The cost will be added to your room bill. If you definitely need a station, please mention this when booking.

Wellness & Spa

What are the sizes and temperatures of the pools?

Our outdoor infinity pool measures around twenty meters and is heated to a pleasant 31°C—ideal for swimming laps, but also wonderful for floating peacefully in the warm water. Many guests particularly love the morning hours, when the valley is still quiet and the water is slightly steaming.

The indoor pool measures approximately twelve by five meters and is heated to a relaxing 29°C. It invites you to enjoy moments of tranquility, surrounded by gentle architecture and a soft interplay of water and light. Both pools are open year-round; you can find the respective opening hours at hotel-diedrich.de/oeffnungszeiten.

What are the opening hours of the spa area?

The indoor pool opens at 7:00 a.m. and invites early risers to enjoy some quiet moments. The saunas open in the late morning and remain warm until the evening. The outdoor pool is accessible depending on daylight hours and the season.

A small ritual enjoyed by many guests: early morning coffee in the spa bistro. A quiet moment with the first warm drink of the day—often a favorite moment during a vacation.
You can find the current opening hours at any time at hotel-diedrich.de/oeffnungszeiten.

I have booked treatments. When will I receive the exact times?

You will receive your appointment times when you check in at reception. We plan all treatments in the background so that they fit harmoniously and without hassle into your stay.

If you have a preference for certain times of day, please let us know. We will take your wishes into account as far as possible, but cannot guarantee them in every case. Many guests find it pleasant to simply let themselves be surprised.

How do I book additional treatments?

It is best to do so as early as possible—ideally when you book your room. During peak season, appointments can be booked up quickly. You can submit your request at any time via hotel-diedrich.de/wellness-anwendungen. We will let you know as soon as a suitable appointment is available.

Can I book spontaneous treatments on site?

This is possible, depending on availability. Many appointments are already booked, especially on weekends and during the colder months. If you are flexible, we can sometimes still find a suitable option for you.

What makes your spa area special?

Our spa extends over four levels and combines water, warmth, and tranquility in a way that many guests find soothing and surprisingly spacious. There are places filled with light, such as the infinity pool; places filled with quiet comfort, such as the relaxation room; and places for warmth and cleansing, such as the saunas.

Many guests tell us that here, "you find spaces you weren't even looking for, but which do you an incredible amount of good." Each level has its own rhythm and invites you to discover your own personal favorite spot.

What does a typical spa day look like for you?

For many guests, a typical spa day begins quietly. Sometimes it's the first step into the gently steaming water of the outdoor pool, while the valley is still peaceful. Others first enjoy an early morning coffee in the spa bistro and linger for a moment on a lounger to slowly ease into the day.

After a long breakfast—often with a view of the countryside—each guest finds their own rhythm between warmth, water, tranquility, and short walks in the fresh air. Some alternate between the indoor and outdoor pools, others enjoy the soothing silence of the saunas or retreat to one of the relaxation rooms to read or simply breathe. Those who have booked a treatment are welcomed at the appropriate time and then glide back into the tranquility of the house.

There is no set schedule. Your day at the spa is shaped by the mood of the moment—light, free, and at your own pace. It is precisely this informality that makes a wellness vacation at DIEDRICH so special.

Can I use the spa area before check-in and after check-out?

Yes, we would be delighted to accommodate you. The spa area is available from 12:30 p.m. on the day of arrival, which is ideal if you arrive early and would like to relax immediately. For guests arriving in the morning, there is also the option of booking breakfast with early spa access or, depending on availability, early check-in including breakfast.

On the day of departure, you can continue to enjoy water, warmth, and tranquility with the spa late check-out. Many guests find this last half-day particularly valuable, allowing them to consciously end their break without any time pressure.

Can I use the spa area even if I am not staying at the hotel?

Yes, as part of our day spa offer. As our spa area is deliberately designed for rest and relaxation and capacity is limited, we are unable to offer day spa stays on all days. This is often not possible at weekends in particular, which is why we recommend visiting from Monday to Friday.
You can find all the information you need at hotel-diedrich.de/wellnesstag-sauerland.

Is drinking water, tea, or fruit available in the spa area?

Yes. Drinking water, tea, and apples are available in the spa bistro. Our focus is on tranquility and lightness—that's why we deliberately avoid large, noisy stations.
If you would like a snack or a small refreshment, the spa bistro is always a pleasant place for a short break.

Should I wear slippers in the spa areas or can I walk barefoot?

For hygienic reasons, we recommend wearing slippers, especially when walking between the different spa levels. In the saunas themselves, you should of course walk barefoot and use a sauna towel.
If you prefer to walk barefoot, that is fine – just take care to ensure your own safety and take care not to slip.

Sauna & clothing rules

Can the pools be used without swimwear?

No. Swimwear is mandatory in both the indoor and outdoor pools. Swimwear ensures hygiene, well-being, and clarity in our shared space. Nudism is not permitted anywhere in the pool area.

What are the rules regarding clothing in the sauna?

Our saunas follow the Central European tradition: they are used without clothing. This form of sauna bathing is hygienic, beneficial, and supports the natural evaporation of the skin. Clothing traps heat and moisture and prevents the typical sauna climate from developing freely.

At the same time, we are aware that sauna culture is experienced differently around the world. Our sauna area is deliberately small and very quiet. The clear rules provide guidance and ensure that all guests feel safe and comfortable.

Why is the sauna clothing-free?

There are health and hygiene reasons for using the sauna without clothing. Wet fabrics would store heat unevenly, prevent the skin from evaporating, and create a more humid climate, which can be less pleasant. Without clothing, the heat can have an even effect—and that is precisely what makes a sauna session so beneficial.

Can I cover myself in the sauna if I feel uncomfortable?

Yes. You can discreetly wrap yourself in a cotton towel if it makes you feel more comfortable. The only important thing is that you do not wear swimwear so that the sauna climate can have the optimal effect.

Is nudism permitted in the spa area?

Nudity is only permitted in the saunas. Clothing must be worn in all other areas—pools, bistro, terraces, and relaxation areas. This clear separation ensures clarity, tranquility, and a pleasant atmosphere for everyone.

Why don't you offer sauna infusions?

We deliberately avoid traditional infusions, as these would abruptly change the climate and affect the calm, gentle character of our sauna area. Many guests find the even heat particularly soothing and enjoy the mild, dry climate—free from fragrances and intense heat pulses.

What is the best way to behave in the sauna and relaxation area?

Our sauna area is a place of tranquility. Many guests come here specifically to find peace and quiet, to switch off, relax, and get away from everyday life. We therefore ask you to speak quietly, switch your cell phones to silent mode, and be considerate of other guests.

If you are unsure how to behave in a particular area, we will be happy to help you. Calm and respectful interaction with one another makes the spa a place where everyone feels comfortable.

cuisine

What exactly does half board include?

Your half-board includes a four-course evening menu that changes daily. The dishes are freshly prepared using traditional methods and with a clear focus on high-quality ingredients. Regional products, careful coordination, and a calm, enjoyable atmosphere make dinner a special part of every day of your vacation.

In the morning, a generous late riser's breakfast awaits you with hot and cold dishes, fresh fruit, cakes, and hearty as well as light options. For many guests, this breakfast is a cherished ritual—a relaxed, warm start to the day.

Why don't you offer 3/4 board or an included lunch buffet?

A wellness vacation thrives on peace, lightness, and freedom. A fixed lunch menu would not suit many guests, as most spend the day in the spa, in their room, or outdoors. A buffet would cause avoidable food waste.

We prefer to cook fresh, clear, and without overproduction—morning and evening. For those feeling peckish, we offer our snack menu: light, lovingly prepared, and ideal for integrating into a relaxed daily routine.

What are the opening hours for breakfast, dinner, and the restaurant terrace?

Breakfast is served from 8:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
Dinner is served between 6:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. for guests on half board.

We open our terrace at 12:00 noon when the weather is nice. During the day, it is a place for light meals and cakes, and in the evening, it is a wonderful place to enjoy a glass of wine—until 9:30 p.m. at the latest, out of consideration for the rooms above.

Is there anything to eat or drink during the day?

Yes. Between 12:00 and 4:00 p.m., we offer a snack menu—small dishes, soups, cakes.

Drinks are available all day at the bar and terrace. Many guests combine these short breaks with a quiet moment between the sauna and pool.

Can friends who are not staying at the hotel have breakfast or dinner with us?

Yes, if there is enough space available. Just send a quick message to mail@hotel-diedrich.de. We will be happy to reserve a table for you and your guests.

Are there any vegan dishes?

We are happy to prepare a vegan dinner menu for you on request. As demand for a fully vegan menu is still low at present, we do not offer a wide range of vegan breakfast options in order to avoid food waste. If you are vegan, we will be happy to prepare fresh, suitable alternatives for you.

Where can I find the food and drink menus?

You can find our evening menu at hotel-diedrich.de/dinner.
The snack menu can be found at hotel-diedrich.de/enjoy-the-day.
The drinks menu can be found at hotel-diedrich.de/drinks.

Day Spa, Yoga & Activities

Can I use the spa without staying overnight?

Yes, as part of our day spa offer. Due to limited capacity—especially on weekends—we recommend visiting from Monday to Friday. You can find more information at hotel-diedrich.de/wellnesstag-sauerland.

Where can I find the course schedule?

At hotel-diedrich.de/kursplan. It is updated regularly and includes yoga, meditation, relaxation sessions, and short exercise classes.

Is yoga offered at the DIEDRICH Wellnesshotel & Spa?

Yes, yoga is an integral part of our hotel and is offered daily. Thanks to the regular course program, every weekend is basically a yoga weekend. The sessions take place in the light-filled "Haus der Mitte" (House of the Center), a special place for movement, breathing exercises, and relaxation. Some sessions combine yoga or meditation with short moments in nature.

Do I have to register for yoga classes?

Yes. Registration is only possible on site and is always valid for the respective day. This ensures that groups are spread out evenly and that courses are not fully booked far in advance. Many guests find this fair solution very pleasant, as it gives everyone the same opportunity to participate during their stay.

What activities are available around the hotel?

Hallenberg is surrounded by unspoiled nature—no crowds, no noise, no hustle and bustle. Hiking trails, small paths, and sweeping views begin right outside the door. The Heidekopfturm tower is particularly popular, offering views over the Sauerland landscape.

Winterberg, with its numerous leisure activities, is only a 15-minute drive away. Many guests greatly appreciate this combination of tranquility and variety.

Can I borrow a bicycle?

Yes, we offer e-bikes and classic mountain bikes for rent. We recommend reserving at least one day in advance. The gently rolling countryside around Hallenberg is ideal for relaxed or sporty tours.

Can I store my own bicycle safely?

Yes. Upon request, we will gladly store your bicycle in a locked room.

What indoor activities are there besides yoga?

In addition to our daily yoga and relaxation sessions, our fitness room is available from 7:00 a.m. – a bright space for peaceful training.

Right next to the spa entrance is our recreation room with table tennis, foosball, and darts. Many guests use it spontaneously, sometimes even in their bathrobes, as a lively addition to an otherwise quiet wellness day.

What clothing do I need for yoga or fitness?

Comfortable sports or yoga clothing is sufficient for yoga and fitness. Mats, blankets, and aids are available on site. Many guests deliberately travel light—the "Haus der Mitte" is fully equipped.

Adults Only, Children & Dogs

Do you accept children or babies?

We welcome guests aged 16 and over. This clear focus creates an atmosphere in which adults can relax—in the spa, in the relaxation rooms, in the restaurant, and in the corridors. Many guests seek precisely this kind of tranquility, and it is an essential part of our hotel.

There are numerous wonderful hotels that specialize in families. Our hotel, on the other hand, is a place where adults can consciously find time for themselves.

Why are children not allowed?

Our adults-only concept is designed for adults who are looking for a break from everyday life. Babies and small children need attention, exercise, and noise—things that are difficult to accommodate in a quiet wellness environment.

For many parents, staying with us is a rare opportunity to spend a few days just for themselves. Many tell us that they return to their children feeling more relaxed and happier. In this sense, children also benefit when their parents recharge their batteries.

Can I bring my dog?

No. We want to keep our house as allergy-friendly as possible while also maintaining a peaceful atmosphere. Dogs—as much as we like them—would interfere with both of these goals. We therefore ask for your understanding.

accessibility

Is the DIEDRICH Wellnesshotel & Spa barrier-free?

In many areas, yes. However, as our hotel has grown over decades and is located on a slope, there are some areas that are not completely barrier-free. Nevertheless, many guests with limited mobility feel very comfortable here, as the most important areas are easily accessible.

How can I access the reception and my room without barriers?

The main entrance is not wheelchair accessible. However, you can enter the building via the side entrance on the left-hand side, which is step-free, and take the elevator to the reception and most guest rooms. If you require a room with particularly good accessibility, we will be happy to advise you before you book.

Are the spa area and saunas accessible?

The spa entrance, treatment rooms, sauna area, and column bath with indoor pool are all wheelchair accessible. The indoor pool has steps with a handrail. The outdoor pool is accessible at ground level but has a vertical ladder for entry.

The fitness and course area as well as the "Zeitlos" relaxation area are not barrier-free due to the building's structure.

Are there accessible rooms?

Yes, we have several rooms that are particularly well suited for guests with limited mobility. We would be happy to explain to you personally which facilities are ideal for your needs.

Which areas are not accessible?

Due to the hillside location, this particularly affects the fitness and course level as well as the "Zeitlos" relaxation area. The other main areas—reception, restaurant, spa entrance, indoor pool, saunas, and terraces—are accessible without stairs.

Can you help me with the planning?

We would be delighted to assist you. Many guests with special requirements contact us in advance so that we can discuss the ideal room selection and route planning together. We provide open and honest advice so that you know exactly what to expect.

Location, arrival, and surroundings

Where is the DIEDRICH Wellness Hotel & Spa located?

Our hotel is located in the heart of Hallenberg, a small, quiet half-timbered town on the southern edge of the Sauerland region, right on the border with Hesse. The landscape is characterized by rolling hills, forests, and sweeping views. Many guests describe the surroundings as "a treat for the senses."

The sloganclear skies aheadaptly sums up this feeling: vastness, tranquility, nature—and yet easy accessibility.

What is the surrounding area like and what can I do there?

Hallenberg is a quiet place without any hustle and bustle. Walking trails, small paths, and varied hiking routes begin right outside the door. The Heidekopfturm tower is particularly popular, offering impressive views of the landscape.

Winterberg is only 15 minutes away, offering sporting activities, fine dining, and other attractions. Many guests combine relaxation in the spa with short excursions into nature.

What is the best way to travel by car?

Getting here is easy. You can reach our hotel safely and comfortably via well-maintained country roads. Free parking spaces are available right next to the hotel, so your break can begin as soon as you step out of your car.

Can I charge my electric car at the hotel?

Yes, we have several electric charging stations right at the hotel. The cost will be added to your room bill. Please mention your charging requirements when making your reservation so that we can plan our capacity accordingly.

What is the best way to travel by train?

The nearest train stations are in Winterberg, Frankenberg (Eder), and Münchhausen. Depending on your direction of travel, it is worth checking the appropriate route. From there, we will be happy to arrange a taxi for you on request.

Which airports are nearby?

The airports of Paderborn-Lippstadt, Kassel-Calden, Dortmund, Cologne/Bonn, Düsseldorf, and Frankfurt are easily accessible. Many guests combine the journey with a scenic start to their vacation.

Is there parking available at the hotel?

Yes, there are plenty of free parking spaces available directly at the hotel, so no reservation is necessary. The parking areas are easily accessible and are located around the hotel and in front of the buildings opposite. This also makes departure pleasantly uncomplicated.

Other service topics

Can I have mail or packages sent to the hotel during my stay?

Yes, that is possible. If you would like to send mail or a package to our house, please let us know in advance. We will gladly accept shipments for you and store them for you. For packages, we ask that they be delivered exclusively during your stay.

Is there a way to wash or have clothes cleaned?

Yes. If you would like to have your clothes cleaned during your stay, just let us know. We will be happy to arrange this for you. Processing times may vary depending on the day of the week and the amount of laundry, so we recommend that you let us know as early as possible.

Are there any company holidays or periods when the hotel is closed?

Yes, there are fixed periods when our facility is closed. Over Christmas, we give our team a few days off so that they too can spend time with their families. We also usually take a short period in the summer to carry out maintenance work and improvements to the facility.

You can find the current company holidays at the bottom of our website in the footer. This allows you to see at a glance which days we are available for our guests and when we deliberately close the hotel in order to keep it in a well-maintained, inviting condition for you.

Can I purchase vouchers from you? What should I bear in mind?

Yes, we would be delighted to assist you. You can purchase gift certificates at any time via our gift certificate section at hotel-diedrich.de/gutscheine. You select the amount, design the layout as desired, and receive the gift certificate conveniently by email to print out after paying online. Many guests surprise someone special with a break at the DIEDRICH Wellnesshotel & Spa.

Please note that we only issue gift certificates and do not issue vouchers for specific packages or individual services. This ensures that the voucher can be redeemed flexibly. We would also ask you to be cautious when purchasing vouchers from third-party providers, such as classified ad platforms. If in doubt, please send us a photo of the voucher in advance. We will be happy to check whether it is a valid original voucher from our company.

Where can I sign up for the newsletter?
