Schloss Elmau
Luxury, culture and culinary excellence in the Bavarian Alps
Hidden in the picturesque Elmau Valley, between the Zugspitze and the Karwendel Mountains, lies the legendary Schloss Elmau – a place that is far more than a hotel. It is a Luxury Spa Retreat & Cultural Hideaway that combines tranquility, inspiration and indulgence at the highest level.
Located just 100 kilometers south of Munich, Schloss Elmau offers a unique blend of nature, architecture, wellness, and world‑class culture. Named Germany’s best luxury hotel in 2025, this prestigious property has twice hosted the G7 summit and enjoys legendary status worldwide.
The culinary landscape at Schloss Elmau is just as impressive as its setting. With several restaurants – including Ikigai, awarded two Michelin stars – the property celebrates fine cuisine from Europe and Asia. Head Chef Philipp Schlosshauer stands for a style that unites quality, creativity and sustainability.

Under the leadership of Philipp Schlosshauer, the kitchen combines traditional Bavarian cuisine with modern techniques and international influences. Together with Executive Sous‑Chef Moritz Busch, the team creates an atmosphere where creativity and quality take center stage, offering guests extraordinary culinary moments.
For his dishes, Philipp Schlosshauer relies on the highest quality and sustainable ingredients. He particularly enjoys working with our Nordish Färse beef filet from True Wilderness. This product stands out for its exceptional tenderness, juiciness, and rich flavor. The cattle are raised on sustainable pastureland in Friesoythe, positively influencing both taste and environmental impact.
We at HavEx are proud to support Schloss Elmau as a reliable supplier and partner. It is a special pleasure to see premium products like our Nordish Färse beef filet used in such an inspiring kitchen.
