Hotel Restaurant Maier

Lake Constance


The contemporary, light-drenched rooms are immaculately kept at this family-run hotel, 5km west of Friedrichshafen and an eight-minute hop on the train. The minispa invites relaxing moments, with its lake-facing terrace, steam room and sauna. Championing slow food, the wood-panelled restaurant is hailed far and wide for its regional food.
