Each year, the online portal “Wellness Heaven” honors the most popular wellness hotels in the German-speaking region. Unlike many hotel awards, the decision here is not made solely by expert juries but primarily by the guests themselves. This year’s award was based on more than 100,000 reviews. A total of 102 hotels were up for selection, having been previously evaluated by professional testers. To be nominated, the establishments had to achieve at least 9.50 stars.

The Best Spas

In the “Best Spa” category, Krallerhof in Leogang came out on top. The five-star wellness hotel in Austria boasts two spa areas totaling around 5,500 square meters, as well as a natural swimming lake with an infinity pool of similar size. Overnight stays are available from 280 euros per person per night.
