Sporthotel Zum Hohen Eimberg sits close to the centre of Willingen on the Ettelsberg and holds an official 4-star DEHOGA classification. The hotel has 72 rooms, with hiking trails and the Ettelsberg ski area within easy reach. The name says it all: sport and relaxation sit side by side here.
Spa and wellness: SPA Carpe Diem
The SPA Carpe Diem features three saunas: a Finnish sauna at 95 °C, the milder Sauerländer Schwitzstube at 60 °C and a steam bath at 48 °C. You can swim indoors and out: the outdoor pool is heated all year round and open daily from 8 am to 9 pm, complemented by an indoor pool and a whirlpool. A special feature is the SeaClimate salt stone cabin (a cabin with salt stone walls whose air is reminiscent of a sea climate); there is also an infrared cabin. Massages, baths, cosmetic treatments and full-body wraps can be booked, and the day spa (day access without an overnight stay) is open to external visitors as well.
Who it suits
- Active guests: a location on the Ettelsberg with short routes to hiking and winter sports.
- Dog owners: a dedicated “holiday with dog” package from € 238 for 2 nights with half board.
- Outdoor swimming fans: a year-round heated outdoor pool is not a given in Willingen.
- Day visitors: the day spa can be used without staying at the hotel.
