SCHLOSS ELMAU * * * * *
A castle-hotel known for hosting the G7 in 2015 and 2022.
This 5-star luxury hotel is known around the world for hosting the G7 summit twice: the first time in 2015 and the second time in June 2022. It is one of the most beautiful hotels in Bavaria. The natural setting at the foot of the Alps offers exceptional calm for this type of meeting, and the hotel has a number of nooks and crannies that are ideal for talks between heads of state and government. A bookshop, stores, a concert hall, a gigantic spa: everything you need for the most princely of stays is available here.

Was it worth it? not really. Although we had a nice experience, we can't recommend at this price point Let me explain:
my wife and I have vacationed in several 5 star superior ski hotels in Austria which gives us a direct comparison. In Austria you can get more (better food - included in the price, newer rooms) and the same (good service, SPA and facilities) for the same price or for less.
Pro: Good and consistent service, great pool areas, location (the Schloss is in the middle on nowhere - the only other hotel similar in that sense we know would be Interaplen in Tyrol) the saunas are nice, however, the Aufguss was weak and nudity is not enforced even in the nude areas. ok rooms, ok food. activities on offer are great and we enjoyed the hike with an experienced hunter as well as the e MTB ride.
Cons: Simply the price. The breakfast for instance had a rather poor selection in comparison to hotels of similar standards in Austria. the dinner cheese selection as visible in the pictures is not even a third of that offered at Salzburger Hof, Arosa Kitzbuehel or Interalpen. Also, out of the dinners we had at the hotel some of the dishes were bland and boring.
the rooms and decoration is rather dated. We don't really like the indian decoration, but that's a matter of taste, however, the Installation as a whole is not the newest.
My take is that the hotel can charge the rates it charges simply because there are enough foreign tourists who come because of the G7 fame and are insensitive to prices or have no direct comparison.
