History
An Oasis of Peace with History
The origins of our house date back to the 19th century. The privately managed Hotel Fontenay in Bad Wörishofen, also affectionately referred to as the “petit château,” stands for refined luxury, state-of-the-art comfort, and an atmosphere that invites you to relax. Located in the heart of the Kneipp town, the hotel draws from the rich tradition of the Kneipp teachings, which have been recognized and awarded by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage.
The history of the house is shaped by a passion for hospitality. The Holzbock family has made it their mission to create a place that equally appeals to the body, mind, and soul. From the elegant lobby with a fireplace to the soothing wellness area, Fontenay offers space for relaxation and recovery at a high level.
The hotel combines tradition with innovation: wellness offerings, such as a thermal natural brine bath and a first-class sauna landscape, align with the original philosophy of Sebastian Kneipp.
Your Hosts
Passion & Warmth
Led with great love and dedication by the Holzbock family, who offers their guests not only a luxurious wellness experience but also an atmosphere of familial hospitality. With hotel director Rainer Gellrich, the host team ensures that every visitor feels immediately welcome and comfortable.
The Holzbocks place great importance on personal care and individual wishes, making every stay at Fontenay unique. Their passion for quality and service is reflected in every detail of the hotel – from the fine culinary offerings to the customized pampering treatments. Here, guests are not just guests, they feel at home.
