24 new rooms tell Dreiland stories
Our eleven History Rooms on the ground floor have been very popular for years, where we bring famous guests and residents of Badenweiler to life: Hermann Hesse, Indira Gandhi, Johannes Rau, Oskar Schlemmer and others. Now we've gone one better: The third floor is our Dreiland floor. Here you will get to know highlights from the Black Forest, Alsace, Basel and Freiburg virtually overnight.
Our 24 new rooms are modern and comfortable with exclusive carpenter furniture, box spring beds and especially high-quality mattresses. After the complete gutting, the bathrooms were significantly larger than in the previous Blaugold rooms. The large-format, illuminated murals are real eye-catchers. Each room presents a highlight of our region.
Several institutions have taken on sponsorships for a Dreiland room and designed it individually. For example, you will find a mini cable car in the Belchenbahn room, small vintage cars at the Mulhouse Automobile Museum and fine sweets in the Läckerly room in Basel.

Two charging stations and Tesla Charger in the Fini
Since 2019, there have been two general charging stations for electric cars and an official charger from Tesla with its own parking bay in the Fini Resort hotel garage. They are actively used. No wonder: Those who stay at the hotel get the electricity for free.
Guests are happy to take up the offer, especially when they are on longer journeys. Hotel owner Mathias Finck: "That's great: drive off the A5 in Neuenburg, up to beautiful Badenweiler, have a delicious meal, a good night's sleep, maybe a little wellness. And after breakfast, you can continue your journey with a fully fuelled electric car."
So far, there have only been two Tesla charging stations between Basel and Freiburg; the one at the Fini Resort is the third. Tesla shows their locations not only on its own highly frequented website, but also on-board on the monitor of every Tesla vehicle.

Guests enjoy the whole new pool feeling
Soft thermal water, pleasantly 29° C warm and with 200 sqm of water surface enough space to do laps: The indoor pool at the Fini Resort is the largest of all the hotels in the region. In September 2019, it became even more beautiful.
What has changed? The outer wall with its aged wooden windows was torn down, and a light-flooded winter garden was created instead. There are 12 cosy rattan loungers on the gallery. A door with a spiral staircase leads directly outside to the sunbathing lawn, so that in summer you can quickly switch between sunbathing outside and a refreshing swim inside.
"House artist" Klaus Becker from East Westphalia created a 13-metre wide panorama painting there, showing a bathing scene from the Roman Badenweiler (= Aqua villae) in the 2nd century. Immortalised and caricatured there are also people from the 21st century ...
Bright, friendly, spacious - the extension with the large glass area has created a whole new pool feeling. The guests are thrilled. Wellness director Ingo Andreß: "After the log cabin sauna and cold chamber, this is the next quantum leap for our spa."
As usual at Fini, everything was built by our own team of craftsmen. Antek Wojtkowiak, Piotr and Tomasz Bialy and Jens Bösinghaus are accordingly proud of their work. A total of around 180,000 euros was invested.

"Jens` Hut" inaugurated
That was close: A few days before the Corona Lockdown in October 2020, the new, mobile Black Forest hut on the sun terrace was finished. Our team of 5 craftsmen did a sensational job. The idea came from house technician Jens Bösinghaus, who was also responsible for the plans, construction and site management. That's why our cosy hut is named after him.
Besides the main restaurant "Aqua villae" and the popular Abnobastube, we now have three restaurant areas, something for every guest taste. Jens` hut is constructed in a modular plug-in design and can be dismantled or erected in two days. It has lighting, ventilation, heating and a tiled stove just like a "real" house in the Upper Black Forest.
The first feedback from the guests was enthusiastic. Now we are all looking forward to nice evenings in Jens` hut when it starts again.

Our thermal water straight from the tap
The famous thermal water of Badenweiler has, so to speak, a hybrid function, it helps outside and inside. For over 200 years, there have therefore been both classic bathing cures and drinking cures. The healing water here is good for rheumatism and arthritis, but also soothes stomach and intestinal complaints. Those who swallow water while swimming combine both effects involuntarily.
Comfortable, of course, is another way. That's why the Fini Resort now has a Roman drinking fountain with appropriately decorated surroundings. Well-cooled, normal tap water, mineral water and thermal water from the healing spring come out of the three brass taps. It is located only 80 metres from the hotel on the other side of the road.
Because of Corona and hygiene, the thermal water is currently still served in paper cups. Later we will have our own great drinking cups in the old Bohemian spa style, made for us by a porcelain manufacturer in Karlovy Vary. Then you can buy a drinking cup with your own name and deposit it in the cupboard opposite the new fountain.

Free Electricity For Guests With Electro Cars
A great service for all hotel guests who come to the Fini-Resort with their electro cars. Over night you can recharge your car for free. You only pay the normal parking fee of 10 Euros per night. The Fini facility managers Jens Bösinghaus and Antoni Woitkowiak have painted two parking lots in the underground garage green and added a funny Fini bird in a red electro car. With two charging boxes guests can now recharge their cars. Next to these parking lots people can recharge their electro bikes.
Technical details: The charging boxes from the company WEBASTO are made in Germany and are also known as "PURE 22 KW". Thereby we offer a 3-phase charging with 32 amps and 400 volts, making possible a charging current up to 22 KW. The stations have a charging cable of 4.5 meters, guests can recharge on the right side, left side or in the middle. The service can be used by all electro cars and plugin hybrid vehicles with a plug "TYP 2". This plug has been a EU-standard since 2013.
We give you three examples of charging times: A Tesla S with a completely empty battery needs 6 hours to recharge, a BMW I 3 needs 75 minutes and a Renault ZOE 54 minutes.
Hotel owner Mathias Finck: "The environment and climate protection are very important to us, that's why we gladly support electro mobility." Since 2014 the hotel has an official energy certification after DIN EN ISO 50001:2011.

New in the Fini-Resort: The Cryosauna
Hollywood stars and elite athletes love it: the Cryosauna! This cold chamber is the most recent trend in the wellness and spa world. And yet it's pretty rare. Since the beginning of April, the Fini-Resort has the first and only Cryosauna in all of Southern Baden.
This is how it works: you'll spend two to three minutes in the chamber at 147 degrees below zero (Celsius). This is made possible with liquid nitrogen. Sounds strange, but it's completely harmless for the body as only the skin is cooled slightly. The cold has always been a popular treatment for pain, rheumatic arthritis, migraines, skin problems, injuries, and even helps lose weight. You'll notice its positive effect after only a few treatments.

From October Onwards: Our Kelo Wood Sauna
Recently, the construction on our kelo wood sauna has started. What is that, you ask? A Finnish sauna made out of kelo wood. This wood comes from dried Finnish pine trees. And as we won't settle for anything less than the original, our wood is imported directly from Finland. After the trucks arrived at the Fini-Resort, the heavy tree trunks had to be unloaded. Without the help of a large crane, our construction workers Antek, Piotr, and Tomasz wouldn't have stood a chance.
Now the construction continues with the building of the sauna hut. Construction takes place outdoors, behind the Fini-Resort, as the kelo wood sauna will belong to our new outdoor wellness area. Directly next to it, a sunbathing lawn for guests will be built. The first guests can use the new kelo wood sauna in the early fall. Book now and be there when it opens!

Certified: We're Energy Efficient.
The Fini-Resort received the honor of being energy certified since 10 December 2014. The hotel was awarded the German classification of DIN EN ISO 50001:2011!
Robert Schmitt, managing director at the 'SKZ Würzburg', awarded the hotel the honor in person. The director took great liking to how seriously hotel management and employees took energy conservation at the Fini-Resort. "Many energy saving measures have increased the quality and atmosphere for the guests”, Schmitt praised.
Systems and amenities were evaluated, stretching from the building and kitchen technology to the washing machines and photovoltaic systems. Guests can monitor the electricity generated by the hotel in real time on our energy monitor near reception.
