The Bütgenbacher Hof - family-run from the very beginning

Thorsten and Jennifer Maraite run the Bütgenbacher Hof as the second generation of the family. What began in 1987 with great passion has grown into a modern 4-star hotel close to Lake Bütgenbach. We welcome our guests personally, work with local producers, generate our own solar energy and are proud to hold the Green Key label. The nature surrounding us is one of the most valuable parts of this region, and you’ll notice it throughout your stay.

Spread across three buildings, each with its own character, you’ll find the setting that suits you best: right in the heart of the main building, peacefully tucked away in the Bergerhof or with rustic charm in the Hilgershof. Sleep well, wake up refreshed and ease gently into the day.

The Bütgenbacher Hof offers modern meeting rooms for up to 24 people, while also providing the perfect setting for birthdays, anniversaries and other private celebrations. We plan every event personally and with great care.
