Das Kranzbach Hotel & Wellness Retreat

An English country manor dropped into the Bavarian Alps by a young British aristocrat, which explains why the architecture still stops guests mid-stride. This four-season wellness resort an hour from Munich holds a Michelin 2 Keys distinction, five pools, and more saunas than most people knew they needed. Rooms split between mod-decorated manor suites and a wood-and-glass annex, and meals run from breakfast through a five-course dinner, with afternoon cake filling in the gaps.
