BRENNERS PARK-HOTEL & SPA CELEBRATES 150 ANNIVERSARY
July 13thBADEN-BADEN, GERMANY
In celebration of its 150th anniversary, Brenners Park-Hotel & Spa, the flagship hotel in the prestigious Oetker Collection, will launch a brand-new ‘150 Years’ package this autumn. The three-night package combines the best that the emblematic hotel and the historic spa town of Baden-Baden have to offer, including guided tours, world-class dining, bespoke spa treatments, and more – all suitably tailored for the modern-day, cultured traveller, to showcase how one would have experienced Brenners 150 years ago. Arriving in the charming town – one of the official UNESCO ‘Great Spa Towns of Europe’ founded 2,000 years ago to ‘do people good’ – guests are welcomed to Brenners and immediately engaged with the rich history of the property in the foyer and adjacent showcase room, where a historical timeline, themed walls, and displays tell the story of the past 150 years of the Grand Hotel. Checking into an impressive Corner Suite, visitors will be able to unwind from their journey while soaking in views of the private park, the famous Lichtentaler Allee over which the hotel has presided over since 1872, and the magical Black Forest from their balcony, or luxuriate in the suite’s expansive integrated library and living room. The immersive itinerary includes a fashionable dinner on the first evening at Fritz & Felix Restaurant featuring a Chef’s Choice six-course menu. The next day, a city expert will lead a curated World Heritage Tour of Baden-Baden, highlighting the treasures of the 19th century ‘Summer Capital of Europe’. The afternoon is dedicated to the property’s own Villa Stéphanie, one of Europe’s finest and most innovative spas, where guests are pampered with a signature treatment in the private couples’ treatment room. The evening’s dinner is held in the Wintergarten Restaurant, where the property’s expert sommelier gives a consultation for the perfect Champagne to accompany the meal. A private en-suite breakfast will be served the next morning on the room’s balcony, to be savoured while taking in the lush scenery before embarking on a guided hiking experience on what is considered Germany’s most beautiful hiking trail. Visitors are later offered the choice of either a horse drawn carriage ride through Baden-Baden, stopping for a luxury Brenners picnic, or a private experience and expert introduction in the Brenners Patisserie, followed by the hotel’s Afternoon Tea inspired by Pierre Hermé Paris. The final evening lures guests into the iconic Casino (‘Kurhaus’) of Baden-Baden, Germany’s oldest casino, for a dinner at The Grill and a chance to find gambling luck, with a €200 contribution of tokens from Brenners Park.
