Useful Information

Currently there are no official Corona rules for hotels in Bavaria. Nevertheless, please pay attention to safety and hygiene. 

Free rapid tests are still available for you and we urge all guests to take advantage of the test offer at the Klosterhof on a regular basis. Our team continues to test themselves daily before starting work. 

Due to our owner Dr. med. Andreas Färber, the entire Klosterhof team has access to daily obligatory rapid tests as well as to a voluntary vaccination offer directly in the house. Thanks to our comprehensive protection concept, we were also able to successfully and safely master the last two challenging years and remain true to our motto "Begeisterung Leben". 

We have summarised all the important questions for you below.

The top 5 reasons for a safe holiday with us – reasons to choose the Klosterhof:

• Personal, privately-run hotel with just 65 rooms and suites in an exclusive, secluded location
• Spacious rooms – over 150 m² gross floor area per room (compared to the average 90 m² for the 4-star superior hotel sector)
• The latest technology and ventilation systems with appropriate filters with the exclusive use of fresh air
• Access to the Artemacur Health Centre in the same building; under the direction of Dr Andreas Färber (German Lung Foundation award-winner in connection with infectious respiratory diseases)
• Personalised, frequently re-evaluated hygiene concept and staff training given by Dr Andreas Färber himself

Please note that the guidelines and requirements on the part of the government for hotels are constantly being adapted. All information is always kept up to date by us and published on this page.

• COVID-19 test at Hotel Klosterhof Bayerisch Gmain

We are happy to provide you with free Covid-19 antigen rapid tests during your stay. 

In case of signs of illness during your stay, please contact us by phone from your room, our team at the reception will take care of all further necessary steps.

• Wellness in our Artemacur Spa

Our 1,500 m² Artemacur Spa is very spaciously designed considering the small number of rooms and suites we have (65 in total).

At the moment, the following regulations apply to the state of Bavaria and therefore the Klosterhof:

1. Cosmetic treatments and massages in the Artemacur Spa are being offered in compliance with hygiene measures. Our well-trained cosmeticians and therapists look forward to your visit. Please book your appointment in advance.
2. Our spacious sunbathing lawn and sauna garden are open. One thing we don’t lack at the Klosterhof is space – surrounded by lush green meadows and forests and with a view of the Alps. You are sure to find your own favourite spot!
3. Our activity programme features a wide selection of sports, cultural highlights and adventures – we have focused on outdoor activities.
4. Our yoga room and gym are open.
5. Our indoor pool and heated outdoor pool are open.
6. Our saunas are open.

• Sports & activity programme

We offer our guests an extensive activity program with a varied mix of sports, culture and adventure. In addition to our monthly concerts and live music, this naturally includes hikes through the Berchtesgadener Land, Nordic walking, e-bike tours, yoga and fitness courses in small groups in the fresh air. For participation in the courses, an entry in our activity book at the reception is mandatory in advance.

• Book a worry-free holiday – flexible cancellation policy

We would like to personally advise you on your vacation planning. We understand that you want to be as flexible as possible due to the current situation. 

Free cancellation or rebooking is possible up to 7 days before your arrival (except Christmas/New Year's Eve/special packages). 

 If you are unable to travel because of illness or quarantine at home, cancellation costs will usually be reimbursed by your travel cancellation insurance, which we encourage you to take out at these times. 

• Our hideaway is a safe place to stay

As a relatively small, family-run hotel in an absolutely secluded, exclusive location and with just 65 rooms, we are far from the crowds and stresses of everyday life. Your host Dr Andreas Färber worked for many years in international epidemic control and has gained valuable experience in this area.

As a health resort, we see it as our duty to uphold the highest hygiene standards.

We would like to inform you of the measures we are taking in advance so you can plan your hard-earned holiday without worry. Some of our measures include the following.

1. Comprehensive cleaning and disinfection are standard at the Klosterhof. Because all public areas and rooms have tiled or wood floors, they can be easily cleaned with disinfectants.
2. We are carrying out increased disinfection of all surfaces, with additional attention paid to frequently-used surfaces such as lift buttons, door handles, etc.
3. To ensure the minimum social distance of 1.5 metres can be kept, this distance is marked at locations around the hotel. This includes the set-up of chairs and tables in the restaurant, dining rooms and garden.
4. There is a restriction on the number of people allowed in areas of our premises.
5. Plexiglass sheets have been installed at the reception desk.
6. There are hand disinfection stations in all public areas, as well as the Artemacur Spa.
7. Your room will continue to be cleaned and disinfected according to strict criteria. All of our air conditioners are equipped with special, state-of-the-art ventilation systems that are guaranteed to use fresh air.
8. All staff have received extensive training in their area and are updated on any changes on a daily basis by Dr Färber himself.
9. Before starting their shift, every employee is asked about coronavirus symptoms.

We understand that you may have many questions about your holiday at the Klosterhof due to ever-changing information. We are closely monitoring the situation. We are here for you and are happy to answer any questions you have.

The Klosterhof is primarily a hotel for guests interested in relaxing and health holidays. Your hosts are parents to three young girls and we all do our best for our children. However, we ask you to keep this in mind when booking your holiday with us. Our reception team will be happy to help you.

All rooms are non-smoking rooms. Our entire restaurant and Artemacur Spa are also non-smoking. As a health resort, it is very important to us to give our guests a smoke-free holiday.

After receiving binding confirmation of your booking from us, we recommend purchasing travel cancellation insurance which, in the event of a cancellation, will pay the applicable fees minus the agreed excess. The unexpected could always happen. To ensure you don’t suffer any financial loss in the event of having to cancel your trip or leave early, we recommend the reliable travel insurance from ERGO Reiseversicherung AG.

Please report any damage to reception immediately. Guests are liable for all damage to buildings or property caused by themselves or their legal representative. The hotel may require guests to provide appropriate collateral (e.g. insurance, deposit, guarantees) to cover any damage.
