Hotel Maier

Nestled right on the shores of Lake Constance in Friedrichshafen-Fischbach, Hotel Maier has been one of the region’s most beloved places to stay since 1936. Still run with warmth and dedication by the Fennel family, the hotel strikes the perfect balance between personal service, modern comfort and a genuine sense of place.

Just a three-minute walk from the natural beach and open-air pool at Fischbach, the hotel is an ideal base for leisure breaks, family getaways and business trips alike. Guests are spread across two distinct buildings: the Stammhaus – the original house – offers freshly updated rooms (20–36 m²) with air conditioning, minibar, in-room safe and Wi-Fi, while the contemporary Hofhaus wows with design rooms featuring solid oak flooring, floor-to-ceiling windows, box-spring beds and sustainable climate control. For longer stays, fully equipped apartments (58–60 m²) with kitchen and washing machine are also available. Every room comes stocked with premium toiletries from SAINT CHARLES Apotheke.

At the heart of the hotel is the Speiserei im Maier restaurant, where the kitchen celebrates the flavours of the Lake Constance region – honest, seasonal and locally sourced, with a commitment to Slow Food principles and the “Schmeck den Süden” quality label. On warm evenings, the patio is the place to be. A generous breakfast buffet and full event catering round out the dining offer.

For a moment of calm, the rooftop sauna is hard to beat. The hotel also has a strong reputation as a conference venue and is a popular choice for trade fair visitors to nearby Messe Friedrichshafen. Within easy reach: the Zeppelin Museum, the Dornier Museum, the Lake Constance car ferry to Romanshorn and the high-speed catamaran to Konstanz.
