The nicest thing about Hotel Bären is its café. There you glide casually into the local life and whiling away the day with no regrets.

In my opinion, the breakfast in the Café Deli in the Hotel Bären is the best breakfast in Austria. Everything homemade, super delicious and just completely different from the standard hotel breakfast!

"Our aim was to create a lively down-to-earth space open to visitors and locals alike,” says Josef. The pair have succeeded in their mission: Hotel Bären has become the region’s favourite brunch spot as Bregenzerwalders flock to the village of Mellau for the inn’s breakfast.

Gault&Millau, the best active hotels

Alpine charm meets cosmopolitanism and that in its most natural form. Modern designed interiors and furniture come from craftsmen from the area. The open yoga classes and retreats in the hotel's own Studio B are highly recommended. The view of the Alps while relaxing in the relaxation room is a sensation.
