Book the Traube Tonbach with VIP Benefits

A family-owned exclusive 5-star hotel in the historic Black Forest in Germany is the Traube Tonbach. The Traube ('grape') has been in the Finkbeiner family for 8 generations since 1789.

Location

Overlooking the Tonbach valley, the hotel sits comfortably amidst romantic pine forests in Baiersbronn, now in the Black Forest National Park.

The Finkbeiners are proud that 80% of their visitors faithfully return regularly. The hotel blends tradition and contemporary style in décor, accommodation, and gourmet meals.

History

The family has built up the hotel from its farmhouse origins, providing forest workers with a first-class hotel with a reputation for fine cuisine. Over the years, the hotel has been blessed with chefs and restaurants awarded Michelin stars in abundance.

Pioneering the modern style of using the finest locally sourced produce, the Traube kitchens have set a standard for innovative cuisine in the region. French haute cuisine is also part of the gourmet experience here but stamped with the hotel's signature.

The family takes pride in the resort's hospitality from the moment guests meet with the reception staff wearing forest green traditional costumes.

Guest Rooms

This luxurious lodging house aims to make guests feel at home in their retreat among the region's tall fir trees and pine-clad hills. The rooms are arranged over old parts of the house and newer buildings.

The décor is warm and comforting with fine wood paneling and doors, mauve, cream, and rust tones with thick wall-to-wall misty blue plush carpeting. Expansive wood-framed windows let in natural light and allow fine views into the forest.

Additional features upgrade the single and double rooms to Comfort, Premium, Superior, and Deluxe. In addition, all rooms have luxury bathrooms, TV, and in-room service.

Guest Suites

These spacious, light-filled suites have the same tonal décor as the rooms with mauve, ivory, sapphire-blue, and gray furnishings in the main house. However, the Panorama suite in the Haus Kohlwald is the exception, with a sophisticated, sleek silver-gray design.

All suites have deeply upholstered wooden chairs, fine furniture, comfortable beds, balconies or terraces, and valley views from huge picture windows.
