Zellhuber family & Sitter family
Your hosts at the Löwen family hotel
From country inn to family hotel Löwen
Family-friendly, warm and personal - our philosophy should be tangible for guests and employees in all areas of our family hotel.
As parents of 3 children of our own, family is not just an empty phrase, but an everyday reality. We know what is important on a family vacation and can thus actively exemplify what we expect from our employees in all areas.
We want our guests to feel at home with us and experience a stay that is characterized by warmth, personal care and unobtrusive courtesy.
History of the family hotel Löwen
Since 1878 until today
Im Jahre 1878 baute Florian Unsinn ein Landwirtschafts‒ und Wohngebäude zwischen Lachen und Nesselwang im Allgäu. Als er um die Konzession einer Gast‒ und Schankwirtschaft ersuchte, wurde der Antrag König Ludwig II. von Bayern zur Unterschrift vorgelegt. Da der Ort in der Nähe seiner Residenz – dem Schloss Neuschwanstein – lag, behielt er sich eine persönliche Begutachtung vor.
On September 8, 1878, Ludwig II, who later went down in history as the fairytale king, rode from Seeg to Nesselwang. With the words: "It is unreasonable to expect my subjects to have no place to stop for refreshments between Schwaltenweiher and Nesselwang", he not only gave Florian Unsinn permission, but also the order to run a tavern here. The Bavarian heraldic animal, the lion, was chosen as the name for the inn.
In the old parlor...
The "Alte Stube", where we serve breakfast to our guests today, is the place where the fairytale king granted the license for the Löwen Inn. The original tavern became the "Landgasthof Löwen", a 3-star hotel and restaurant in Nesselwang.
After the reorganization, we have been running the "Familienhotel Löwen" since April 2023, with a total of 37 rooms and over 100 restaurant seats.
We are already looking forward to your visit to our wonderful family hotel.
