Next to the world-famous Hohenschwangau and Neuschwanstein royal castles is the new AMERON Neuschwanstein Alpsee Resort & Spa, a renowned hotel with a traditional touch. From this hotel, guests can enjoy the tranquillity of the forest and the rich history of the Bavarian Alps.
JEWEL OF THE BAVARIAN ALPS
The name Hohenschwangau and Neuschwanstein are not unfamiliar terms for avid travellers. Neuschwanstein castle was built by King Ludwig II after Bavaria lost to Prussia, and Hohenschwangau castle was bought by Ludwig’s father, Maximillian II. Together they are now the crown palaces of Southern Germany, facing the almighty Tegelberg and Säuling mountains.
The newly renovated AMERON Neuschwanstein Alpsee Resort & Spa is located nearby the two castles. Its beauty and elegance is guaranteed to captivate visitors from all parts of the world and encourage them to experience Bavarian hospitality.
WHERE TRADITION MEETS MODERNITY
The AMERON hotel chain is part of Althoff Hotels, founded by Thomas H. Althoff and currently managed by CEO Frank Marrenbach. The new AMERON Neuschwanstein Alpsee Resort & Spa combines several traditional houses (Lisl, Jägerhaus and Alpenrose) with two new buildings, Galeria and Seehaus, and converts them into a luxurious resort with 137 rooms, conference and event spaces, a deluxe spa as well as various gastronomical delights.
AMERON Neuschwanstein Alpsee Resort & Spa, Schwangau The three houses of Alpenrose, Lisl and Jägerhaus have a history as guesthouses and hotels for travellers coming to the Alpsee area. During the Second World War, they served as military hospitals, and were back as hotels once the war ended. The restaurant building, Braustuberl, was once used as a horse stable during the days of King Ludwig II, before being converted into a kitchen during World War 2 and a restaurant after the war days.
The rooms in the resort are divided into eleven types of rooms and one suite: standard single room, standard double room, comfort room, deluxe room, family room, and the prestigious junior suite, with sizes ranging from a cosy 15 m2 to a spacious 54 m2. All hotel guests are presented with complimentary breakfast, free entrance to the hotels’ wellness and fitness area as well as high-speed WiFi access.
The interior of the resort pays homage to the interior of traditional Bavarian houses, namely its wooden furniture and warm colour tones, and implements this in the form of a contemporary interior concept.
One thing that is highly featured in the resort is its exclusive “four elements spa by Althoff” service. Guests can enjoy three different saunas, a large indoor pool with waterfall, relaxation rooms, and finally rest in one of their terraces. This service is built right in front of the mighty and beautiful lake Alpsee so the guests can relax before a feast for the eyes.
The hotel is also an ideal starting point for visitors looking to experience real Bavarian nature. In spring and summer, guests can explore the lush forest by trekking and mountain biking. In winter, the region attracts many tobogganing and cross-country skiing enthusiasts.
SECURE HOTELS WITH DOM
DOM made an entrance at AMERON Neuschwanstein Alpsee Resort & Spa through DOM Germany’s client, Liebherr. The hotel was undergoing maintenance, and was looking to replace its old locking system. The renovation started in 2016 and finished in 2019.
For this project, the hotel assigned DOM to supply the locking system for all of the five buildings of the hotel complex, from the traditional houses of Lisl, Jägerhaus and Alpenrose to the modern facilities of Galeria and Seehaus.
The cylinder chosen by the resort is one of the ix family reversible cylinders, the ix Twido®. The technical manager for the hotel mentioned that it considers ix Twido® to be one of the safest reversible cylinders and keys out there. With a small double roller in the key blade, it makes the cylinder almost impossible to replicate. The optional modular technology within the cylin- der also helps protect the door from common burglary methods such as lock-picking and bumping.
Following the installation of the products, AMERON Neuschwanstein Alpsee Resort & Spa saw nothing but perfection. Everything works perfectly, and it is experiencing positive things from the DOM service and products.
