Brenners exudes old world charm and service. Our room was a delightful corner suite with two terraces and gorgeous views towards both the gardens and surrounding hills and the town. Absolutely charming. Upon arrival we were greeted warmly and shown to our digs where a beautiful fruit plate and bottle of house wine greeted us. The fridge included complimentary beverages as well. The rooms have been carefully maintained and the upholstery, curtains, canopies and beds still sport traditional, smartly tailored fabrics that could have been chosen 50 years ago. The light switches remain analog, and the fixtures appear to be original. Our bathroom was heavily clad in thick camera marble that spoke of another era. In short, the hotel has not jumped on the bland modernization adopted by so many grand luxury hotels. I found this incredibly refreshing and, being of a certain age, nostalgic of my youthful travels with my parents. The breakfast served at Fritz and Felix was one of the best I've had at any hotel. The restaurants cheese trolley stands ready for you to indulge to your heart's content, while the fresh fruit tarts, and full buffet offer an extraordinary array of tempting goodies. Add to that the hot cooked offerings, and you will probably agree that breakfast at Brenner's is definitely worth waking up for! The health club and spa are beautiful, and offer private spaces indoors and out to enjoy the exquisite flowers, shrubs, topiaries and trees on the property. We enjoyed the large pool, the sauna, steam room, cold plunge pool and the sunning area outside. My companion also raved about his deep tissue massage. Our afternoon tea outside overlooking the grounds was also outstanding, and featured a fine pianist, champagne, sandwiches, scones, and Pierre Hermé's special Black Forest macaron made exclusively there. If you appreciate elegant, old-world service and a well run hotel in luxurious surroundings, I highly recommend Brenners in Baden-Baden.
