Right in between Garmisch and Partenkirchen, the Hotel Königshof is perfectly placed to let you explore both towns. It’s just a couple of minutes’ walk to the train station, so you can catch the cogwheel railway up to the glacier, and the lifts in the Classic ski area are a short bus ride away.

The hotel has been renovated to combine contemporary public areas with traditional, cosy bedrooms – all with a welcoming feel.

Breakfast is a lovely sweet and savoury spread. And you can upgrade to half board to enjoy dinners made with fresh, regional produce in the modern restaurant. In the evening, head to the bar to sample German wines, Bavarian beers and colourful cocktails.
