Friedrichshafen, Lake Constance, Germany

Seegut Zeppelin

The Seegut Zeppelin, which opened this year, is located in the middle of an old landscaped park directly on Lake Constance. The spruce-clad hotel buildings are just a stone's throw from the shore. The modern solitary buildings blend unobtrusively into the protected park. Inside, the surrounding nature is impressively recreated through floor-to-ceiling windows. The hotel buildings are furnished with natural materials and high-quality design, while the cuisine is based on an innovative concept with a focus on vegetarian cuisine.

Facilities

The Pinus restaurant is located in the historic Villa Gminder with its neo-Gothic vaults and a large terrace overlooking the lake. Four modern new buildings surround the listed villa. With their dark glazed spruce façades and green canopies, they blend into the lakeside landscape. They are named after members of the famous Zeppelin family: House Ferdinand, House Helena, House Isabella and House August. The detached buildings house a total of 62 rooms.

Wellness & Spa

The building next to the orchard houses the sauna area with its own park entrance and a fitness room with Technogym equipment.

Wine & Dine

The cuisine of the Pinus restaurant has a clear vegetarian focus. It is based on the principles of slow food and aims to use as much locally produced food as possible, from root to leaf and nose to tail. The menu focuses on the principle of sharing, with different components being served at the same time. The classic order of dishes is abandoned. Vegetable products are allowed to play the leading role, while meat takes a supporting role. In addition to wines and spirits from Lake Constance, the drinks menu also focuses on low-alcohol and non-alcoholic drinks such as teas, fermented essences and herbal extract drinks as well as wines and spirits from Lake Constance.

Our Favourite: The Location

The hotel is one of the few hotels on Lake Constance that is located directly on the shore and therefore has its own access to the lake. There is no road or public path in between. The surrounding four-hectare park also makes the Seegut Zeppelin a retreat that creates ideal conditions for peace and relaxation.

Sustainability

The hotel's special location in the middle of a nature reserve means an even greater responsibility towards the surrounding nature. For example, care is taken to ensure that the tranquillity of the wild birds that spend the winter in Fischbach Bay is not disturbed. The eastern part of the park is separated by a hedge of wild shrubs and reserved for flora and fauna.
