Hotel Sonne - Fussen

4-star boutique hotel in Fussen with themed rooms inspired by King Ludwig II and a modern wellness oasis

Rooms & Design

Each room at Hotel Sonne has a different design, with several themed directly after King Ludwig II and his era. Some rooms include a balcony offering views of the Alps or the High Castle, while others feature a separate toilet and a large walk-in shower. The hotel's decor throughout hallways and common spaces continues the homage to Ludwig II and composer Richard Wagner, with photos and memorabilia on display.

Hotel Sonne's on-site RIWA restaurant is frequented by locals and serves regional specialties and Mediterranean cuisine in a lively atmosphere. Breakfast includes a buffet with Allgäu cheese, Black Forest ham, prosecco, and eggs benedict, alongside fresh bread and pastries. Dinner options feature fresh seasonal dishes like white asparagus soup when available, with a cocktail bar open in the evening.

Free water and teas are available in the spa area, though guests report supplies may run low if arriving late.
