Baden-Baden is Germany’s most
renownedwellness city, and thishotel is
an urban oasis set in a private park. A

Obama and twenty-five heads of state
arrived for the 2009 NATO Summit.

oversee
everything frompreventivecheck-ups to
nutrition coaching. There are also two
beauty spas specialising in Asian and
South Pacific therapies. The Brenners

with deep-red walls and glittering
chandeliers, but it's the one-Michelin-
