Hotel Der Sonnenhof: greetings from the front desk
The Hotel Der Sonnenhof in Bad Wörishofen — a five-star house of the Steigenberger line that today publicly runs as “Hotel Der Sonnenhof” and was added in 2026 to the list of the “101 best hotels in Germany”. Bad Wörishofen is the home town of Sebastian Kneipp; the Sonnenhof combines this tradition with a contemporary spa concept that reaches from the outdoor infinity pool via three indoor pools, an extensive sauna world and rest areas to a medical spa with CoolSculpting. 101 rooms and suites, four culinary addresses (CALLA, Petit Plaisir, König Ludwig Lounge, Murano Bar) and discounted green fees at the local golf courses from € 30.
Spa, pools and sauna world
3,000 m² of spa space with an outdoor infinity pool and three indoor pools, a generous sauna landscape, rest areas and a fitness and gymnastics room. From 15:00 the spa area is reserved for guests from 16 years (with extended access during the Bavarian school holidays until 18:00) — a quiet hourly cadence the house keeps up consistently.
Kneipp programmes at the place of origin
Bad Wörishofen is the home town of Sebastian Kneipp — the Sonnenhof frames the teaching in modern health and prevention programmes: a specialist initial examination, a personalised cure plan with medically prescribed treatments, aqua gymnastics and an exercise programme. The Kneipp taster week is the shortest of the house's own programmes.
Medical spa and CoolSculpting
Beyond the classic beauty and wellness treatment the Sonnenhof works with a medical-spa line, including CoolSculpting procedures — a combination that in this purity is unusual among the Kneipp addresses in Bad Wörishofen.
Four culinary addresses
Four independent culinary addresses under one roof: the main restaurant CALLA, the Petit Plaisir for lighter lunches, the König Ludwig Lounge as the day bar and the Murano Bar for the late evening. Sunday brunch is part of the fixed programme.
101 rooms and suites
101 rooms and suites in different categories — from the classic room with a reading corner to the family suite with two separate bedrooms. The house is designed for staying longer; bathrobe, bath towels and bathing shoes are included for the whole length of the stay.
Bad Wörishofen and the Allgäu
Bad Wörishofen lies in the Unterallgäu — the Kneipp health resort richest in tradition in Germany. The Allgäu pre-Alps, several golf courses (discounted green fees from € 30 for hotel guests), the town's thermal bath and the historic spa park are in the immediate surroundings. From the hotel a free shuttle service runs to Bad Wörishofen station as well as to Buchloe and Türkheim.
