Despite the glamour of some of its clientele—heads of state, entertainers, and sports stars line the guest book—this hotel retains its country charm and friendly service. Rooms are luxurious, and several have baths with round tubs or whirlpools, half with modern decor, the rest charmingly old-fashioned. Parking is available for a fee.
At the younger, trendier sister of the nearby Ketschauer Hof, the ambience is relaxed but classy: rooms are decorated in earthy tones, and the deluxe doubles and suites have private balconies. Guests have access to the spa and pool, which also has treatment rooms and a private sun terrace. There's a sleek bar and a restaurant with a beautiful terrace that offers pizza, pasta, salads, and grilled locally sourced beef.
This sleek, sophisticated former manor house, one of the few modern design hotels in the region, attracts a discerning crowd. Rooms are decorated in soothing neutral colors and bedecked with funky chandeliers; some of the glass-enclosed bathrooms feature luxurious oversized tubs. There's also a small but inviting wellness area, which offers beauty treatments in addition to a steam room and sauna. Bistro 1718, with its sunny terrace, and the L.A. Jordan restaurant and bar in the same complex, provide dining options on-site; the included breakfast is à la carte.
The beautifully decorated, modern guest rooms are named after famous vineyards in Forst, and six have balconies—the Pechstein room is particularly nice. You can enjoy excellent wines in the tasting room, beneath a shady pergola in the courtyard, or in the privacy of your room (the refrigerator in the breakfast room is stocked for guests). The pubs in Forst's Old Town are a three-minute walk away.
