Our history

What began as the vision of two entrepreneurs has become a versatile destination for stays, meetings, events and sports. Here are the key milestones of the Bayerischer Hof Miesbach.

1991Breaking ground

An idea takes shape: Alois Apfelböck and Wilhelm E. Pichler set out to realize their vision of a modern conference and sports hotel in Miesbach. In August, ground is broken on the Bayerischer Hof Miesbach.

1992–1993Welcoming the first guests

After just 17 months of construction, the Bayerischer Hof welcomes its first guests in December 1992. With 134 rooms, spacious meeting areas and restaurants, the new 4-star hotel sets out from day one to be far more than a place to stay. The official opening follows in May 1993.

With the historic barn on the nearby BioGut Wallenburg organic estate, the Bayerischer Hof gains an extraordinary event venue. To this day, the EVENTSCHEUNE Wallenburg offers a special setting for weddings and corporate events.

2020The Leo Apartments

With 32 furnished apartments, the Leo Apartments offer a new option for longer stays in Miesbach. Regional sourcing and sustainability are at the heart of the project – including regional timber and a resource-efficient energy supply.

2024Building a sustainable future
