Alpenhotel Krone  

Set in the Alpine countryside of Pfronten in Bavaria’s Allgäu, this 4-star hotel sits a short walk (about 10 minutes) from Pfronten village and roughly 1.7 miles from Burgruine Falkenstein. It’s a convenient base for castle chasers — Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau are within a 25-minute drive — and about 12 minutes from the A7. Pet-friendly and family-friendly, it puts you close to outdoor lifts, baths and village trails.

A painted, traditional Alpine façade gives way to modern interiors in bright oak and dark timber. Rooms include flat-screen TVs, iPod docking stations, quality toiletries, bathrobes and slippers. Family features include a children’s playroom and a games room with billiards plus consoles; accessible by elevator and with free on-site parking.

Recharge in the free saunas and steam room, hit the fitness center, or book a massage. Stay connected with free Wi‑Fi and enjoy the beer garden and lounge bar after days of mountain-air mornings. The hotel also offers tour assistance and a small events hub for local excursions.

On-site business center, conference hall and event facilities make meetings possible, with Wi‑Fi available throughout the property.

Start with a full breakfast buffet featuring a cooked farmer’s breakfast and organic options. The restaurant and lounge serve Bavarian specialties and à la carte dishes, with casual drinks in the beer garden.
