In the heart of the Bregenzerwald, surrounded by clear mountain air and vast nature, lies a place that slows down without standing still: the Sonne Mellau - Feel good Hotel. An adults-only boutique hotel that creates space for peace, ease and genuine relaxation - far away from noise, everyday life and obligations. With no minimum stay. But with all the more freedom.
What makes the Sonne special is its personal atmosphere. Few guests, plenty of space, open retreats - here everyone can be who they are. Host Natalie Läßer and her team live a warm, unobtrusive hospitality that creates closeness without being intrusive. Arriving here immediately feels right.

Wellness & exercise with a view
The 1,500 m² spa area offers a relaxing variety of saunas, steam baths, relaxation zones and an adventure garden pool. The offer is complemented by a modern fitness room, a bright yoga room and the popular sun deck - with a warm pool, comfortable loungers and a view of the mountains. A place to take a deep breath, let go and recharge your batteries.

Culinary delights that do you good
The exclusive all-inclusive cuisine combines regionality with lightness: fresh, healthy, creative. Many of the ingredients come from the Bregenzerwald, the cooking is modern and conscious - from breakfast to dinner. Enjoyment without compromise, included as a matter of course.
The Sonne Mellau is not a classic wellness hotel. It is a feeling. And a place that you will want to return to - in summer and winter.

The direct location of our hotel on the lake invites you to go for walks and sporty outdoor activities, and our area is directly adjacent to the 18-hole course of the Schloss Haag golf club. The city of Geldern is located in North Rhine-Westphalia in close proximity to the Dutch border. Trips to the neighboring country are therefore possible spontaneously - also by bike, because the Lower Rhine is a paradise for cyclists.
In the See Park Terrassen restaurant, particular emphasis is placed on freshness and top quality. Regional specialties and vitality cuisine form the focus of the seasonally changing menu.
The special location of the hotel on the lake offers the perfect ambience to find inner balance and leave everyday life behind. All hotel areas offer a clear view of the Lower Rhine landscape. This also applies to the exclusive SPA area, to which over 8,000 square meters are reserved. In addition to the unique sauna world with 7 saunas and relaxation areas, a heated outdoor swimming pool and the panorama pool with a view of the lake and the golf course are available to guests. Holistic beauty programs, various relaxation rituals, classic and feel-good massages as well as beauty treatments for face and body make the See Park SPA an oasis of sensual experience. The private SPA suite is available to guests for an individual SPA experience. The wellness offer is rounded off by the well-equipped fitness area - also with a unique panoramic view. Professionally trained fitness trainers are happy to support guests with their individual training program and offer daily courses such as Pilates, aerobics and back training. The 24 panorama rooms in our new building offer absolute tranquility and a wonderful view of the lake. When it comes to the elegant furnishings, comfort comes first. Noble materials and warm colors create a cozy atmosphere, floor-to-ceiling windows open up a wide view over the lake into the green.

It is a place of tranquillity for a time-out without haste. A hideaway. Simply switch off, let the hustle and bustle of the world pass you by and listen to the whispering of the trees - nowhere does this better than here. You can choose between the historic villa and coach house or the newly built private spa suites with absolute privacy and personal wellness.

High-quality cuisine awaits you in the 20zwanzig restaurant, while the sauna and fitness facilities invite you to relax. While the medieval half-timbered streets of Stolberg nestle along the bed of the Thyra and the narrow Lude rivers in the valley below, the Hotel & Spa Suites FreiWerk is enthroned high up on the Thyrahöhe and offers you a beautiful view, and not just from the large sun terrace.

With seven new Private Spa Suites in the Hotel & Spa Suites FreiWerk, you can enjoy exclusive moments of peace and quiet - all to yourself. Each individual Private Spa Suite in the Harz Mountains is two-storey and has a living space of around 100 m² with absolute privacy.
The spa suites are also furnished with selected works of art from the MEISSEN porcelain manufactory. Sustainability is very important to us, which is why our private spa suites are made entirely of wood from local Harz spruce. In our suites in the Harz Mountains, you can expect plenty of space, a high-quality interior and everything your wellness heart desires.

You can indulge in complete relaxation on two floors. The spacious living area, a shower room and a loggia with a fantastic view of the forest are located on the lower floor. A staircase takes you to the heart of the spa suites: In addition to a bedroom with a balcony, here you will also find the exclusive vitality area with a designer bathtub, a steam and infrared sauna with colored light play, a Finnish sauna and rain shower - it could hardly be more beautiful. In addition to the vitality area, the absolute highlight awaits you in the upper area: a secluded loggia with a cozy corner, an exclusively designed whirlpool for up to two people and a wonderful view of the forest - alone or as a couple.

Even Aunt Lisl knew that in addition to mountains and well-fluffed pillows, you also need a good meal, a cozy place to relax, an open heart and good food for a really good gut feeling. That was over 70 years ago.
Since then, we as a family have gone many new ways to preserve this special feeling of home and to reinterpret vacation for you. Our wellness and hiking hotel Gassner **** superior has grown out of the small forest guesthouse - and the pretty Gassner tree house too.

As a genuine family business, we are the perfect complement, because we could hardly be more different. Together with our wonderful Gassner Seilschaft, we bring a lot of warmth, charm and life into the hotel. That's probably why so much of our work is so individual and varied.
Come and join us and be surprised by the wonderful way in which our contrasts attract you. Mia gfrein ins auf di!

Before, after, instead or in between - you can mix everything with everything for a relaxing break.

Out and about
Are you a true child of nature and just as drawn to the outdoors as we are? Wonderful, because as a member of the best hiking hotels in the Alps, our main aim is to find strength and inspiration in nature all year round.
On at least 5 guided hikes, we, hiking guide Monika and boss Hans-Peter Gassner, would like to introduce you to the diversity of nature in the surrounding mountains, hike with you through blooming alpine pastures and climb over perpetual ice to the region's panoramic peaks.

We would like to accompany you on snowshoe and winter hikes to the idyllic snow-covered places of the Hohe Tauern National Park and show you personally how renewing it can be to walk at eye level with nature.

Gassner tree house
Wonderfully close to nature and also a little off the beaten track. 147 m² all to yourselves. A retreat for newlyweds, longtime lovers and the whole family. We believe that when it comes to togetherness, you need a particularly cozy place on this earth and so our dream of an extraordinary vacation nest is yours.

There are many beautiful houses. But the most important thing is the people who live in them, laugh together and do their best together. So feel free to speak from the heart and meet us at eye level.

The Gassner family with the entire rope team.
