Best Western Plus Hotel Willingen

Tucked into the wooded hills of the Sauerland, the Best Western Plus Hotel Willingen, Willingen, Germany, is a cosy mountain hotel with a spa, warm country-house rooms, free Wi-Fi, satellite TV, a desk and sitting area and a safe, a restaurant of regional and seasonal dishes, an in-house brewerie and a relaxed bar for the evening. Bike and hiking trails start right at the door, ready for mountain biking, Nordic walking and long rambles through the hills. The cafes, shops and bars of the lively resort village are a short walk away. Willingen is one of the best-loved mountain resorts in the Sauerland highlands, busy in every season. One of the world's largest ski-jump hills draws crowds to its winter contests, a cable car climbs to the heath-covered Ettelsberg for big views, and a web of trails tempts walkers and cyclists across the green uplands. Snow turns the slopes into a small ski area when winter sets in.
