For over 400 years, we have been hosting day-trippers, holidaymakers, and conference guests at our monastery hotel in Bavaria. We owe our long history to the tradition-rich Ettal Monastery, which is located directly opposite the monastery hotel. Since ancient times, monasteries have operated hostels and hospices and welcomed guests. This is also the case with the Ettal Monastery, which built the “Wirtstavern” in the 15th century, which in the course of history became our 4**** Klosterhotel Ettal Ludwig der Bayer. Hospitality was, so to speak, in our cradle. Hospitality is attributed to Saint Benedict, according to whose rule the monks in Ettal living is a particularly important concern. In addition, we are allowed to receive guests at a very special place in Bavaria: the Ammergau Alps Nature ParkThe magnificent mountain world around us, the lush green meadows and fields and our mountain rivers and lakes radiate a very special strength that you will immediately feel. All this makes our Monastery Hotel in Bavaria, a place "so close to heaven." A place where Bavarian tradition and genuine, family-friendly warmth are lived and radiated. This is how we create an incomparably wonderful stay for you, our guests.
