Whether it is a landmarked country inn, an impressive castle or the hotel “Kurhaus” steeped in history –all hotels live the values “family –nature –tradition”. By the use of a family-like corporate culture, Castlewood Hotels & Resorts hopes to make you feel comfortable and at home.

What we stand for

Tradition-Conscious

Tradition is very important to us without taking it too serious – means, tradition with a twist. We value the tradition of a house with its very unique history, as well as the tradition of the region with its local practices and cultures. We see the very individual characters of a place with its people as highly interesting and precious. It is one of the attributes that sets us apart. The name and tradition of a house should always be continued, knowing very well that a good house has a lasting effect on a whole region.

Family-Oriented

As a family business, a family-like environment and trusted relationships are very important to us. We value a strong cohesion, communication and an honest interaction with each other. This, we live inside our team but also with you – our guests. We want you to feel comfortable, and we want you to find a home away from home in us. Our brand should imply security and family to you. Our whole team is constantly by your side, eager to assist and has a sympathetic ear for you. Here, you are not just an employee or guest – but a unique human.

Nature-Connected

Most of our hotels are in rural, pristine areas. We cherish the nature with its tranquillity, its power and its diversity. Whether it's in the Chiemgau Alps, the Zittau Mountains or the Bavarian Forest – while staying with us, you can take a deep breath and calm down. Therefore, the connection to nature is especially important to us in all parts of services as well, as in quality, amenities and offers.
