Our Philosophy

Rooted in tradition, yet open to the new – that’s what we stand for. We focus on regional quality, thoughtful details, and a relaxed atmosphere where you can fully unwind and be yourself. This is how we create a place where modern ideas and authentic values go hand in hand, making your stay truly unique.

A Look Back

For over 500 years, this house has opened its doors to guests eager to discover Schliersee. Once known as the Tafernwirt, it was a resting place for farmers, hunters, and fishermen. In 1891, it was purchased by actor and co-founder of the Bauerntheater, Xaver Terofal, and continued as the Hotel Seehaus. Even in the 19th century, it attracted many summer visitors seeking relaxation by the lake.

A New Spirit

In 2024, Ute and Markus Leitner began a new chapter: In 2025, they are transforming the hotel into a modern boutique hotel with wellness and fresh spirit – without forgetting the strong roots that make Terofal so unique. The newly designed bar, the restaurant with its rustic charm, and the beer garden invite you to relax and enjoy – true to the motto: relax.dine.drink.enjoy.
