Hotel Geiger, Former architectural monument in Bischofswiesen, Germany.

Hotel Geiger was a hotel complex in Stanggaß, Bischofswiesen, with a main house and a two-storey annex (Dependance) designed by architect Wicklein, set back from the Bundesstraße 20 on a raised, south-facing hillside plot with views of the Watzmann. A third accommodation block from the 1960s–70s was linked to the main hotel by a tunnel. The site was demolished by January 2019.

Hugo Geiger, a retired customs official, founded the hotel in 1866 by converting a small farmhouse into a lodging house. The property expanded steadily through the following decades.

During the 1800s, the hotel drew visitors from across Germany who came to escape crowded industrial towns and experience mountain life. The clientele represented the growing middle class seeking rest and fresh air in Alpine surroundings.

The hotel was demolished: the last building came down in January 2019, so nothing of the complex remains to tour. The site lies in the Stanggaß district of Bischofswiesen on the road up to Berchtesgaden, set back and raised above the former Bundesstraße 20, which has since been replaced by a bypass west of the village. Plan for road access rather than a walk through grounds.

The hotel's own petrol station, opened in 1924 by Rudolf Geiger, grandson of the founder, was reportedly the first in Bischofswiesen. Caves and tunnels cut into the hillside above the grounds date from its wartime use as a Luftwaffe rest home.
