Accessibility

We attach great importance to barrier-free accessibility in our structural planning in order to enable all guests to enjoy a pleasant stay with us. However, we would like to point out that due to our hillside location and the historical structure of our house, a few rooms are not accessible barrier-free.

The main entrance is not barrier-free, but there is a side entrance on the left side of the main entrance, through which you can reach the reception barrier-free with an elevator. From there you can reach all our guest rooms, including barrier-free rooms.

The way to the SPA bistro, the treatment rooms, the indoor pool and the sauna area is accessible barrier-free. Unfortunately, the fitness and course area as well as the rest area "Timeless" are not barrier-free accessible. The entrance to the indoor pool consists of tiled steps and a handrail, while the outdoor pool has a vertical ladder entrance integrated into the outer wall.

All catering areas as well as the terrace are barrier-free accessible, with the exception of the restaurant "Antons".
