Hotel Bayern Vital

Tucked into the mountains of Bad Reichenhall, this family-friendly spa hotel sits steps from the Rupertus Thermal Bath and within walking distance of the town center. Predigtstuhl Cable Car and the Old Salt Works are nearby, and Salzburg (Mozart’s Birthplace and the Christmas Market) is a short drive away.

Expect a warm, alpine-meets-modern vibe with simple, comfortable rooms. Guestrooms feature flat-screen TVs, minibars, safes and desks, plus private bathrooms with showers or tubs, complimentary toiletries and hair dryers. The hotel aims for a relaxed, restorative stay — many rooms are geared toward spa and mountain-break guests.

Recharge with onsite massages and spa treatments, an indoor pool, sauna and a fitness center. There’s an arcade/game room, concierge and a tour desk for local excursions, plus self-parking (fees apply) and complimentary Wi-Fi — perfect for waking up to crisp mountain-air mornings before a soak or a hike.

The hotel offers a business center, meeting and event space (about 90 m² / 968 ft²), dry cleaning and express check-out. Complimentary high-speed internet makes it easy to stay connected.

Dine at Luitpold, which serves international cuisine, or grab coffee in the café and unwind at the bar/lounge. Room service is available during limited hours and a buffet breakfast is offered daily (fees apply).
