Went for a romantic weekend and it was delightful. We snagged a great deal which included breakfast and dinner (non-alcoholic drinks were also included). Gluten free options were made available and the restaurant staff was very helpful and kind about it. The entire staff was top notch at every level, spa area and rooms are modern and sleek. The outlets close by were also a fun way to spend a few hours. Go, relax and enjoy the excellent service and atmosphere.

Beautiful estate turned hotel/business center. Halfway between Cologne and Frankfurt. Great spot to experience the lovely German countryside. Went to the Christmas Market in Koblenz, about a 30 min drive. Loved the home town feel, the food and drink. My hotel room was small, think 13th century university dorm room, but they have larger rooms. OK for me since I am small people and you're only in your room to sleep. Everthing in the room & shower was clean and well ordered. Staff is friendly, helpful and speaks English. Breakfast buffet is delicious.

Wieskirche

The Pilgrimage Church of Wies (Wieskirche) is an oval rococo church, designed in the late 1740s by Dominikus Zimmermann. It is located in the foothills of the Alps in the municipality of Steingaden.

The sanctuary of Wies is a pilgrimage church extraordinarily well-preserved in the beautiful setting of an Alpine valley, and is a perfect masterpiece of Rococo art and creative genius, as well as an exceptional testimony to a civilization that has disappeared.

The hamlet of Wies, in 1738, is said to have been the setting of a miracle in which tears were seen on a simple wooden figure of Christ mounted on a column that was no longer venerated by the Premonstratensian monks of the Abbey. A wooden chapel constructed in the fields housed the miraculous statue for some time. However, pilgrims from Germany, Austria, Bohemia, and even Italy became so numerous that the Abbot of the Premonstratensians of Steingaden decided to construct a splendid sanctuary.
