Alpenloge, Allgäu, German Alps
A Geometric Gem in the Heart of the Alps
Design-Forward Serenity in a Four-Border Landscape
Tucked away in the serene mountain village of Scheidegg, where Germany brushes up against Switzerland, Liechtenstein, and Austria, Alpenloge is more than just a boutique hotel — it’s a design lover’s alpine dream. There’s something pleasingly symmetrical, even geometrical, about this intimate nine-room hideaway, where precision and beauty intersect with natural wonder.
Built on the site of a former Bavarian schoolhouse, Alpenloge pays subtle homage to its roots with a steep wood-shingled roof and lofty ceilings that welcome streams of natural light. But step inside, and the aesthetic shifts — modern, elegant, and distinctly European. The interiors are a curated showcase of craftsmanship: plush king-sized beds by German luxury bedmaker Schramm, sculptural seating from Danish design houses like Nor11 and Fredericia, and a calming, minimalist palette that lets the views do the talking.
Rooms with a Sense of Direction
Each room is named after the cardinal direction it faces, adding a poetic touch to your stay. To the north, perhaps, you’ll gaze upon a quiet mountain village. To the south, the Alps unfold in cinematic splendor. It’s a clever nod to Alpenloge’s crossroads location — a place where four nations meet, and nature, history, and design converge in perfect harmony.
DNA Hotels Verdict
Quietly luxurious, deeply intentional, and breathtaking in its simplicity. Alpenloge is where form meets function, and the Alps meet artistry — a perfect mountain retreat for the design-conscious traveler.
