Germany’s Black Forest spa town of Baden-Baden has a long-standing reputation as a destination for wellness and relaxation. Celebrated since Roman times for its natural thermal springs, the town flourished in the 19th century as a premier address for spa-goers, horse-racing enthusiasts and golfers. Brenners Park-Hotel & Spa, part of the Oetker Collection, has been integral to that tradition since 1872. Located on the tree-lined Lichtentaler Allee in the heart of Baden-Baden, the elegant property is known for its distinguished medical and wellness spa, drawing visitors from around the world.
Within the resort’s park, Villa Stephanie provides a focused retreat for spa holidays. The villa contains 15 rooms and suites across five floors of a historic mansion, offering a tranquil and private atmosphere. The spa facilities include sauna baths, a hammam and a fully equipped fitness center. Guests can follow personalized physiotherapy programs or take part in activity classes such as kickboxing and martial arts. Tailored health plans are designed by the hotel’s resident team of physicians, personal trainers, dieticians, nutritionists and other health professionals. In addition to holistic treatments, the resort also offers a selection of aesthetic medicine and dental services to meet a variety of wellness and cosmetic needs.
Dining at Brenners Park-Hotel & Spa is an important part of the guest experience. The culinary program is led by double-Michelin-starred chef Paul Stradner, who brings refined technique and contemporary flair to classic dishes. Guests can enjoy a specially curated five-course menu at Brenners Park-Restaurant, where traditional flavors are reinterpreted with modern sensibilities. Other dining options include Rive Gauche, which focuses on French-inspired cuisine using ingredients sourced from the south of France, and Wintergarten, which opens onto a spacious terrace overlooking the River Oos and offers a seasonal menu that highlights local produce.
Beyond the hotel grounds, Baden-Baden’s surrounding Rebland Wine Region invites exploration. Local vineyards and wine estates offer opportunities to discover regional wines and enjoy scenic countryside excursions, adding a flavorful complement to a restorative spa stay.
