History for the future

The best time to enjoy the moment lies between yesterday and tomorrow.

The Seehotel am Kaiserstrand bears a name steeped in history. But this location has simply remained what it always was: one of the most beautiful places in the world.

The unmistakable facade of the Seehotel am Kaiserstrand can be seen from far and wide. The castle-like battlements, oriel and bay windows and particularly the stepped gable ensure that this lake-side silhouette is a very distinct landmark. And of course, this striking building has been officially listed as a historic building for many years, which is exactly why we took particular care during the extensive conversion and renovation work. The Seehotel am Kaiserstrand reopened in July 2023 ready for the stories and memories it would create – and particularly yours.
