3 Best Hotels in Füssen, The Romantic Road

Directly below the castle, this is one of the town's oldest inns, family-run and with updated, airy rooms that are tidy and comfortable. Geraniums flower most of the year from its balconies. The two restaurants here both have sturdy, round tables and colorful frescoed walls and offer an extensive menu of regional dishes.

A family-run hotel right on main street pays homage to traditional Bavarian style with rooms uniquely decorated in tribute to local sites—you can stay in the King Ludwig room, which has pictures of him on the walls, or a Spitzweg-decorated room based on a Biedermeier-era artist who painted in Füssen. Its restaurant serves an interesting variety of seasonal and local specialties like duck's legs or Maultaschen.

A century of family tradition embraces guests at this superb hotel combining the surroundings of a grand alpine hotel with the intimacy of a bed-and-breakfast. In a small valley below the ruins of Falkenstein Castle, it's romantic, but also good for families, with a playground and open fields where kids can frolic. The comfortable rooms, many with kitchenettes, are individually decorated. If time allows, spend a few days relaxing in the spa and heated pools looking out to the Alps, cozying up to the fire, and enjoying refined food—you can even spend a night in a tree house in the woods (reserve ahead).
