Your hosts at the Hotel zur Rose

Hotel in the Allgäu with gourmet restaurant

Greetings from the Rose

We are the people behind the Rose.
‘A real Allgäu family that runs its hotel with heart and soul.
The Rose has been part of our family for six generations – and our family has been part of the Rose.
This is not an anonymous hotel business, but our home. A place with history, personality and genuine hospitality. And you might feel that as soon as you walk in.

What makes us special?
We are real. Direct. Familiar.
Every one of us is fully involved – in the kitchen, in service, at reception.
We learned it from the ground up. It’s our thing and we love what we do. Because we think so: You should feel that you are welcome.

And what does that mean for you when you come to us?
You don’t get a standard vacation, but real encounters.
Maybe a tip for the next tour or excursion in the morning.
In the evening, a little chat over dinner.
Or simply the feeling of having arrived.
Honest and at eye level.

This is where you get to know us.
Not posed – but just as we are.
With a lot of joy and heart for what we do. Every day.

So maybe we’ll see each other soon?

Greetings from the Allgäu
