Kurhaus Palmenwald, Historic hotel in Freudenstadt, Germany
Kurhaus Palmenwald is a hotel set in a forested area of Freudenstadt, spanning four floors with integrated wellness facilities. The building houses an indoor pool, restaurant, and spa areas alongside guest accommodations.
Stuttgart industrialist Paul Lechler commissioned architects Wittmann and Stahl to build this property in 1895. The structure later served as a military hospital during both World Wars.
The name "Palmenwald" refers to the collection of tropical plants growing within the grounds, creating an exotic quality unusual for the Black Forest setting. Visitors notice this lush greenery throughout the indoor spaces and surrounding landscape.
The property sits about 25 minutes from Panorama-Bad Freudenstadt and 10 minutes from downtown, offering good access to local facilities. Visitors find parking on-site and straightforward access to hiking trails through the surrounding forest.
The property received an award in 2009 from the German-Bulgarian Chamber of Industry and Commerce for its renovation efforts. This recognition reflects the noteworthy modernization of the historic structure.
