100% South Tyrol – in the middle of the Allgäu South Tyrol – that’s the place where Alpine down-to-earthness meets Mediterranean lightness. Where enjoyment and culinary delights are writ large, where the heart is in the right place and where people are simply a little happier – and it is precisely this way of life that Luis Hillebrand, a true South Tyrolean, wants to bring to life – in the heart of the Allgäu.
“The hotel park is our absolute centerpiece. The two areas reflect the two hearts of the South Tyroleans and combine Mediterranean flair with Alpine lightness.” ~ Luis Hillebrand
The history of the Parkhotel dates back to the 19th century and is closely linked to Sebastian Kneipp – the namesake of the Kneipp town of Bad Wörishofen. In 1908, Baroness Leoprechting had a villa built right next to the hotel, which over time grew together to form a complete complex. The more than 7,000 square meter garden with two natural lakes, palm trees and a large infinity pool still forms the heart of the complex today.
“In the hotel, details and products from my homeland can be found everywhere and bring the South Tyrolean joie de vivre to the heart of the Allgäu.” ~ Luis Hillebrand
With great attention to detail, the vision – to bring the South Tyrolean way of life to the Allgäu – was realized and a special kind of refuge was created. Details from my homeland can be found everywhere, explains Luis Hillebrand. A photo here on the wall, a piece of cheese for the Marende or the truly exceptional honey for breakfast – Luis has a personal anecdote for everything. He has maintained a friendly relationship with many of his suppliers for years, as it is he himself who travels to the small manufacturers and farms in his homeland and brings selected products to the Parkhotel. Enjoyment is just as important here as quality. For Luis Hillebrand , authenticity and traditional craftsmanship Hillebrand the framework for genuine South Tyrolean culinary art.
“I want to bring the art of indulgence of my homeland to the Allgäu!” ~ Luis Hillebrand
And anyway, for South Tyroleans , food means more than just eating. It is an expression of joie de vivre, togetherness and enjoyment. We make timefor that, Luis enthuses. Whether it’s a sweet apple strudel or a hearty Marende – the way to a man ‘s heart is through his stomach. And a “Glaggele wine” at the South Tyrol bar in the hotel is always a good choice anyway. Regional cuisine. Maximum enjoyment. Alpine down-to-earthness meets Mediterranean lightness in the restaurant. Delicious dishes with natural ingredients, the herbs come from the hotel’s own garden. High-quality products from small producers from our homeland – that’s all you need, emphasizes Luis Hillebrand. South Tyrolean speck, fresh alpine cheese, original Schlutzkrapfen or a racy glass of wine from the Merano winery. 100% South Tyrolean feeling – in the middle of the Allgäu.
“We get the herbs for our dishes directly from our own garden – you can’t get any fresher than that.” ~ Mario Scusio, head chef at the Parkhotel
Some things are so beautiful that you can hardly believe it. The two natural lakes shine like sparkling emeralds in the sunshine. Alpine edelweiss meets Mediterranean flair between snow-capped mountain peaks and palm-fringed promenades. Pleasure meets joie de vivre and nature meets culture. Perhaps the key to happiness lies in all the supposed contrasts that make South Tyrol what it is. But it’s best to find out for yourself.
