No problem, because thanks to free Wi-Fi in all rooms, you don’t have to compromise here either. If duty calls and you need to quickly take care of some business, a desk and a telephone are also available in the rooms.
After an eventful day full of leisure activities in Willingen, do you just want to take a shower and sink into the comfortable hotel beds? We have taken care of that too: towels, bathrobes, hairdryers, and complimentary toiletries are available in the bathroom for your use. Or perhaps a hot tea to help you sleep? Kettles are available in all rooms, allowing you to brew tea and coffee. And so that you can start your day and your personal leisure activities in Willingen perfectly rested the next morning, the breakfast buffet for hotel guests is already included in the room price. Fresh rolls, scrambled eggs, or muesli await you here. If you prefer not to cater for yourself, the additional half-board option is also available. It is best to book this directly with your room and, in addition to the breakfast buffet, let yourself be pampered by a delicious buffet in the evening as well.
The four room types available to you are double rooms (25 square meters), junior suites (30 square meters), gallery rooms (45 square meters), and apartments (also 45 square meters). The junior suite offers a few more square meters than the double room and an additional private seating area. The difference between the gallery room and the apartment is that the gallery room extends over two floors and houses the bedroom on the upper floor, which is connected to the lower level by a staircase. All other rooms have separate bedrooms and living rooms that can be locked with doors and offer spatial separation. Selected rooms even feature a balcony or a magnificent terrace, ideal for enjoying sunrises. All hotel rooms are designed for two to three people. Should you be more than three people, please indicate this when booking. An extra bed can then be provided so that each of you has your own comfortable sleeping place after you have exhausted yourselves with various leisure activities in Willingen.
Food and Drinks During Your Stay
As you have already noted, breakfast is included in the overnight stay price, and the dinner buffet is available for a fee with the half-board option. Both are served in the hotel’s own dining room at the Restaurant “Sudhaus”. Of course, you also have the option to order à la carte here. A drinks menu tailored to the needs of the guests completes the offering.
Those who have worked up a bigger appetite after their leisure activities in Willingen should visit the Willinger Brauhaus. Here, regional and seasonal dishes are served, and beer brewed on-site is offered. During the day, the in-house brewery can even be visited by smaller groups. Prior registration is requested. In the evenings, by the way, the Brauhaus transforms into a real party hotspot on Fridays and Saturdays. While you can reserve the daily evening Brewer’s Buffet on those days, you should definitely stay afterwards if you feel like dancing and having fun. This also counts among the most popular leisure activities in Willingen.
Further Leisure Activities in and Around Willingen
Those seeking relaxation will find it in the hotel’s own wellness area. Here, an indoor pool invites you to swim, and floating loungers in the relaxation room invite you to unwind. Various sauna infusions and massages can also be booked in advance here. Furthermore, a romantic bath for two by candlelight and in wonderfully fragrant bath essences is also possible.
For cycling enthusiasts, the hotel offers e-bike rental and associated services, such as charging stations. Around Willingen, you will find numerous cycling routes for this purpose that you should definitely explore.
Do you prefer to explore on foot? Then embark on a small or somewhat larger hike. Here too, various picturesque routes are available that are waiting to be discovered. For example, hike along the Rothaarsteig or up the Ettelsberg to catch a unique panoramic view of the beauty of the Sauerland. Furthermore, you should not miss a ride on the K1 chairlift system here. Up to 8 people can sit side by side at once, enjoying the nature below them from dizzying heights.
Those who prefer gentler sports can, for example, demonstrate their skills with a game of golf or mini-golf in the 3D Mini-Golf Fantastic Rooms.
For climbing enthusiasts, there is both a high ropes course and the opportunity to exert oneself in an indoor climbing hall, should the weather spoil your plans.
In bad weather, you should also visit the Lagunen Erlebnisbad (Lagoon Adventure Pool). Here you can enjoy swimming fun while it storms and rains outside. If it’s too hot outside, you can cool off in the indoor ice rink and prepare for the winter sports season there all year round. Motorsport fans, in turn, will get their money’s worth at the Willinger Kart and Bowling Center. Here you can either enjoy a relaxed game of bowling or do a few laps on the go-kart track. If that’s not enough, you should also try indoor archery here.
A holiday with all these great leisure activities is definitely always a sure hit!
