No telephone. No TV. No wi-fi. Shared toilets and bathroom down the hall. The Hotel Rosenlaui does not offer conveniences that we first-worlders take for granted. However, it does offer the essentials. Electricity and hot running water, for example. What is more, the price includes a delicious four-course evening meal in the dining room.

We have eaten at many starred and Michelin restaurants world wide but for a surpassingly gourmet meal do try to not only stay but to eat what Chef Andreas prepares daily.You will count it as one of your best memories.

If you like old houses with the special athmosphere of the past and appreciate the peace in rooms without TV, W-Lan, radio and telephones then you`re at the right place!

The atmosphere is intoxicating with the rushing water and spring flowers-the ringing of the large cow bells signalling that soon the heards will be brought back to the Alps meadows to graze until winter. The food is first class and I... More
