 
          Baden-Baden is Germany’s most
        
        
          renowned wellness city, and this hotel is
        
        
          an urban oasis set in a private park. A
        
        
          favourite of dignitaries and celebrities,
        
        
          the hotel garnered international
        
        
          attention when U.S. President Barack
        
        
          Obama and twenty-five heads of state
        
        
          arrived for the 2009 NATO Summit.
        
        
          Perhaps some of these overworked
        
        
          leaders enjoyed a treatment at the
        
        
          medical spa that boasts a team of
        
        
          German
        
        
          doctors,
        
        
          who
        
        
          oversee
        
        
          everything from preventive check-ups to
        
        
          nutrition coaching. There are also two
        
        
          beauty spas specialising in Asian and
        
        
          South Pacific therapies. The Brenners
        
        
          Park-Restaurant sets a romantic tone,
        
        
          with deep-red walls and glittering
        
        
          chandeliers, but it's the one-Michelin-
        
        
          star food by head chef Paul Stradner that
        
        
          makes it the area’s top-rated restaurant.
