Freiburg im Breisgau sits on the edge of the Black Forest, with a car-free Old Town, little water channels running along its streets and the Schauinsland mountain just outside the city.

🧖Why Freiburg im Breisgau is Great for Hotels with Spa & Wellness
A spa hotel in Freiburg lets parents take turns in the sauna after a day of hiking or exploring the Old Town, while children swim or play. Several hotels on this page combine wellness areas with family suites, and some add a pool or a playground, which turns rainy Black Forest afternoons into easy ones.
Schloss Reinach is the most complete choice for families who want spa and swimming together. Set in a historic manor on the outskirts of Freiburg, the four-star has a spa with several saunas and a steam room, plus a stainless steel pool open all year round. It also has a playground, family suites and bike rental, and some rooms have a terrace or patio with direct access to the pool. That makes it easy for parents to take turns in the spa while children play outside or swim, and it suits families arriving by car who want a calm base close to the city.
In the Old Town, Colombi Hotel is the luxury option. The five-star sits opposite Colombi Park and the castle hill, with an indoor pool, a well-equipped gym, a fine dining restaurant, air-conditioned family suites and bike rental. The minster, the market and the Bächle channels are all within a short walk, which suits families who want to explore on foot and return for a swim. Hotel Victoria, BW Signature Collection, dating back to 1875, offers a spa and wellness area with a sauna, massages and beauty treatments, a rooftop garden, family suites, bike rental and a pet-friendly policy.
A little outside the centre, two four-stars add space and parking. Hotel Hirschen in Freiburg-Lehen, north-west of the city, has a spa area, a seasonal outdoor pool, two restaurants, family suites, bike rental and free parking, which helps families planning day trips into the Black Forest. Hotel Stadt Freiburg offers spacious rooms and apartments, spa and wellness facilities, a game room, an à la carte restaurant and on-site parking. Courtyard by Marriott Freiburg, two minutes from the central station, is practical for families arriving by train, with a fitness centre and a modern restaurant.
Wellness time works best when it is balanced with Freiburg's outdoor attractions. The Schauinsland cable car climbs to a viewpoint with walking trails, the Mundenhof animal park on the edge of town is free and full of animals children can see up close, and Europa-Park in Rust makes a full-day outing for theme park fans. In the Old Town, children love splashing in the Bächle channels. Plan the active outings for the morning and keep the hotel sauna or pool for the late afternoon, when everyone is ready to slow down.
Parent's take
If I were booking Freiburg with young children, I would choose Schloss Reinach first: its spa has several saunas and a steam bath, and its pool is open all year. My advice is to save the sauna for the evening and spend the day outside, at the free Mundenhof animal park on the edge of town or splashing in the Bächle channels of the Old Town.

💡Tips for Choosing a Hotel with Spa & Wellness in Freiburg im Breisgau
- 1Ask about children's access to the spa when you book. Pools are often open to families, while saunas and steam rooms usually have age limits or adult-only hours, so knowing the rules helps you plan.
- 2Choose Schloss Reinach for spa and swimming together. Its pool is open all year, some rooms open directly onto it, and the playground gives younger children somewhere to play while parents relax.
- 3Stay in the Old Town to explore on foot. Colombi Hotel and Hotel Victoria are close to the minster, the market and the Bächle channels, which saves driving and parking with tired children.
- 4Use hotel bike rentals. Several of these hotels rent bikes, and Freiburg is one of Germany's most bike-friendly cities, with flat routes along the Dreisam river that suit children.
- 5Plan a Black Forest day on the Schauinsland. The cable car is an adventure for children, and the cooler air and trails at the top make a good contrast to an afternoon in the hotel spa.
- 6Book massages and treatments early for weekends. Smaller hotel spas have limited slots, and parents taking turns will need two separate appointments.
