Welcome to Elegant Nature Resort on Lake Tegernsee. Far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. In the heart of nature. A stylish retreat to suit your taste - also in culinary terms. Directly on the shores of Lake Tegernsee, 45 minutes by car from Munich, four restaurants and a bar, a 3000m² luxury spa and rest and relaxation at any time of year await you at the Althoff Seehotel Überfahrt. Welcome to happiness.
Star ratings are intended to indicate the general level of features, amenities, and services to expect. This property is officially classified according to Hotelstars Union standards.
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travellers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
We had booked to stay in the Althoff Seehotel Uberfahrt for four nights at the start of June. The location of this hotel is fabulous, on the lakeside just outside Rottach -Egern, an upmarket small town. Unfortunately we arrived just as a major rain storm of 5 days was subsiding and the lake had burst its banks in places. The flooding curtailed walking and cycling on some parts of the lakeside path. The bits we were able to walk were really lovely. Very tranquil. The jetty for the lake ferry was also submerged resulting in the cancellation of ferry services. We were just unfortunate that a very bad weather front had hovered over Bavaria for days. Lake Tegernsee is really gorgeous, a hidden gem. On our first night we had dinner on the veranda of the Fahrhutte 14 Restaurant. It was a lovely warm evening. The food and service was excellent. The hotel provided a courtesy car as the restaurant is a 25 minute walk from the actual hotel. We also ate in the Italian restaurant The Barcaiolo which was also excellent. Breakfast was also a delight, freshly squeezed orange juice, fresh honey, prawns and crayfish are just some of the delights available . The service in this hotel is outstanding. The pool/spa area is quite large and the outside pool area very relaxing. The steps leading down into the indoor spa area could have been a bit better maintained. A few weeds were evident. That's a minor criticism. The sun loungers were very comfortable. Our room was a standard alpine view room. The room was very comfortable and had a small balcony with chairs and a table. I did however find the mattress a little on the firm side for me. A mattress topper was promptly provided and solved the problem. There are lots of lovely cafes and restaurants nearby. We enjoyed eating in Weber's which was a fifteen minute walk from the hotel. We enjoyed our stay so much we have booked to return next year for a week. Hopefully we will be able to hire bikes this time and enjoy the lake in all its glory. You will not be disappointed if you choose to stay here, the location, level of service and food are all outstanding.

We chose the Althoff for a four night break to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Having recently enjoyed a wonderful stay at another Leading Hotel of the World (The Phoenicia in Malta) we arrived with high expectations, and the Althoff certainly didn’t disappoint. In fact, I’d say without doubt that this is the finest hotel we have ever had the pleasure of staying at. From the moment we checked in, every aspect was outstanding.
We were in an Elegant Nature Junior Suite with beautiful views of the lake. The balcony was spacious and offered a wonderful place to sit and enjoy breakfast in the sunshine, whilst enjoying the peaceful surroundings of the hotel.
The champagne bar outside the front of the hotel was a great place to watch the world go by and take in the stunning views of the lake. As well as the hotel restaurants, there were also several bars and restaurants within strolling distance, offering fantastic local dishes which we thoroughly enjoyed.
Service throughout the hotel was attentive but understated. Customers needs were perfectly anticipated by the fantastic staff, from the concierge to the waiters, and not forgetting the cleaners who kept our suite (and the whole hotel) absolutely spotless. Nothing was too much trouble and all our requests were met swiftly.
Every member of staff we interacted with was friendly, professional and approachable and, together with the absolutely stunning setting of hotel, made our anniversary extremely memorable.
We look forward to returning in the future.

Everything is perfect in this hotel from start to finish. There are always a few complainers who are not satisfied with even the most pleasant service. However, we did not find this to be the case. The food is excellent, the half-board is extremely tasty and the rooms have been renovated and are meticulously clean. The bathroom has also been renovated, but you can still see the charm of years gone by, which does not change the cleanliness and functionality.

An excellent hotel with friendly caring and attentive staff. The restaurant staff need to check the salt and pepper containers on each table regularly. Often they were nearly empty and we had to ask for them to be replenished. Restaurant staff tend not to listen properly at times and as they didn’t write our orders down they tended to forget things like 2 poached eggs and not one, like fried eggs sunny side up and not fried on both sides mostly staff were friendly and helpful.

It was a great stay. Unfortunately, we hadn't been on the Überfahrt for ages since Corona, so we were curious to see whether the standard there was still as high as we were used to from previous stays. Our expectations were exceeded. We received a great welcome with our little 2-month-old daughter, for whom it was her first hotel stay. Uncomplicated check-in, which was very warm as we were celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary. We got a great, spacious junior suite, which was lovingly decorated with little gifts for our anniversary. Our daughter got a cute bed with lovely amenities such as a pirate bathrobe and cute baby slippers. The spa area is still as big as ever and there are great infusions. We had booked half board and also really enjoyed the dinners in the Egern Bay and at the Italian restaurant. Great food with a wide selection. The breakfast also left nothing to be desired. The friendliness of the staff was particularly outstanding. Whether it was housekeeping, spa, reception or service in the restaurants, every member of staff was extremely friendly and competent. Overall, it was a very nice stay, so we can say that it is great how the crossing has maintained its high standard over the years. We hope to be back soon!

The positives: great location, fantastic service, pretty hotel, nice pools and other amenities
The major issues: NO AC. The hotel claims that they have cold water running through the walls and ceilings to cool the rooms - but it was not effective. We could not be in the room during the day and it was uncomfortable at night. They gave us a portable fan - not helpful. Other major issue was the beds - “king” was 2 twins pushed together with one of us falling into the seam at night. The beds were also super lumpy and uncomfortably.
This would be a true 5 star if they could have air conditioning and improve the beds. It is probably a great place in may, sept or oct - just not during the summer. On the plus side - the service was top notch and everyone was friendly.

The hotel was incredible. We came to Tegernsee with our three children and could not be happier that we stayed at Überfahrt. The rooms were large and comfortable, the hotel is elegant and sparking clean, the pools and spas were amazing, but the best part of the hotel was the people. Every employee we had contact with knew our names and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. Especially Yasheer in the lobby bar, and Cosimo at the desk. There was so much to do in the area, we can’t wait to return!

Superb stay with excellent comfort and service. Staying with a four year old child was a breeze as they provided child amenities, a dedicated play area and dedicated pool. Choices for food are very good, including well thought out Children's menus. Would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing stay away from the hustle and bustle of big cities.

My family and I very much enjoyed our stay. This hotel has all the facilities (pools, gym, array of restaurants, cooking school) to name a few but what makes this hotel truly special is the attention to the little details that the staff gives. This shows that they truly care to make guests happy. I came with my family wife and daughter and they had a special amenity for my child once we arrived in the room as well as turn down a little set of slippers. She was so happy! They have transformed an old guest room into a play room for young children which she also enjoyed. But for those with children we know they like something when they cry to tell them we are leaving. ( her reply was can we please come back to Uberfhart). I also would like to call attention to the bartender Alex who was very personable and very attentive. 5 star review for a 5 star hotel. Bravo
We will be back
Sincerely Rafaela , Stephen and Saskia Ullrich

I oscillated a lot on the grade given to this hotel, but considering the amount I paid for this stay I consider that I should have had incomparably better services. The hotel is very nice with large spaces at the reception, car parking service, good quality shops, the rooms are large, airy, there is a minibar that is filled daily, swimming pool bag, coffee maker (but not tea); gorgeous bathroom, very clean and with good quality cosmetics. The restaurant has Michelin stars, but unfortunately the number of restaurants does not cover the number in the hotel. So if you don't make a reservation the day before for dinner, you run the risk of eating in the room. I waited for a quarter of an hour for a coffee. The outdoor pool is small, as is the jacuzzi - only 3 people can enter. I went down to the SPA but, honestly, I was not attracted to use his services. It should not be neglected that the hotel has many guests who come with dogs, some even have two and large. In conclusion: I paid for services for "The Leading Hotels" but I received services for a 4 star hotel.

Dear Rosenauer07, thank you very much for taking the time to share the feedback of your most recent stay with us at the Althoff Seehotel Überfahrt on TripAdvisor. I regret reading that you did not like the service provided by our team despite the fact that you liked the hotel and the sourroundings. Please be certain that we all take your comment very serious and that I have taken personally the time to share this with the team. It is correct that especially during high season we recommend making reservations in advance and that at peak time of the dinner service we have to sometimes offer a table at a later time. Also, it is correct that many of our guests travel with dogs, we offer already only special allocated floors of the hotel! I would be very happy if I could learn more details about your stay and to personally apologize for the service gaps you experienced and therefore would be happy if you could contact me under braun@seehotel-ueberfahrt.com - i look forward hearing from you! With kind regards, Michael Braun Hotel Manager

Actually, the air conditioning as I know it in my country ( Qatar ) isn't there. Yet , their conditioning system is built within the walls as the cleaning lady told me. At the end , We didn't feel the heat because the weather was amazing during our stay ( mid July ).
I hope my answer is useful.
