This spa resort offers a retreat in the heart of nature and a prominent location on a small, wooded headland in the county of St. Wendel with views over Lake Bostalsee. Its closeness with the surrounding region and the creative mindset of hosts Kathrin and Christian Sersch are evident throughout the entire hotel. Guided by their motto “Real beauty. Beautifully real.” the hosts have created a hotel exuding ingenuity and attention to detail that will appeal to spa-goers, sports enthusiasts, connoisseurs and lovers of culture and nature.

Awaiting guests are 97 modern rooms and suites, the Restaurant LUMI including terrace, Bar NOX with its fire lounge, a library, three conference rooms and the Seezeit Spa. The renowned Berlin-based architecture company, GRAFT, was commissioned with creating the heavily nature-inspired architecture. The interior design and lighting concept was developed by Birgit Nicolay of NICOLAY DESIGN based in Stuttgart and New York.

The hotel is a member of the Hideaways Hotels Collection, and since the beginning of 2019, of Design Hotels TM . According to GEO Saison, it is one of the "100 most beautiful hotels in Europe 2018".

Here, right by the lake, surrounded by the stunning mountain scenery of the Steinernes Meer, the warm-hearted host family around Hannes and Martina Riedlsperger have created an exclusive place of indulgence - a place to relax, recharge your batteries and have a really good time.

The Spa am See is located between the two buildings that make up the Wellnesshotel Ritzenhof. The underground wellness oasis opens directly onto the shore of Lake Ritzensee with a private sunbathing lawn. There you can doze in one of the shell and floating loungers with the sound of the reeds in your ears. An indoor pool, Finnish sauna, textile sauna, steam bath, sanarium, infrared cabin and massages or beauty treatments tailored to your individual needs await you in the spa by the lake.

In winter, the cross-country ski trail runs right past the spa and provides access to the region's extensive network of trails. Some people also chase their childhood memories on ice skates on the frozen Ritzensee or simply warm themselves by the flickering fire.

The stylishly furnished rooms and suites are deliberately kept simple; nothing should distract from the essentials. Clear lines and materials replace the sensory overload to which we are exposed in everyday life. The reduction to the essentials helps you to switch off quickly and consciously move in the here and now.
