Welcome to the 'Boutique Hotel Residenz Winkler'

We are delighted to announce that from now on our hotel will bear the additional designation “Boutique Hotel” - a term that reflects our claim, our philosophy and the very special atmosphere of our residence. It is more than just a new name - it is a clear commitment to what our hotel stands for: individual class, stylish hospitality and a place that touches.

Last year, Busche Verlag presented us with an award in the Boutique Hotel category. A wonderful confirmation and at the same time an incentive to officially include this term in our name.

But it's not just the name of our hotel that has evolved - our restaurants now also have names that reflect their respective identities and at the same time are deeply rooted in the history and soul of our hotel.

Epicures – the gourmet restaurant

The new name of our gourmet restaurant is a play on sound, culture and enjoyment: “Epicures” tells a story, an epic that takes events from the past further into the future. The dishes prepared by our kitchen team under the direction of Daniel Pape are also picturesque descriptions of culinary delights.

It also contains the French word Épice (spice), without which fine cuisine would not be possible. The Greek philosopher Epicurus already pointed out that the highest good and true happiness for man are the pleasurable experiences that he makes and thus experiences he has and so the English term epicure stands for 'a person who enjoys high quality food and drink'.

In addition, the written 'E' is borrowed from the handwriting of Evi Winkler, who has accompanied the fortunes of the residence for over thirty years. The name ends with “res”. This restaurant is the heart of our residence - a place where enjoyment becomes a way of life - an essential part of the essence (lat.: res) of our residence.   

In “Epicures”, culinary visions merge with the finest craftsmanship - for all those who seek the extraordinary and want to celebrate the moment.

Tafern – the Brasserie with history

With the name “Tafern”, our brasserie takes us back to the roots of the establishment: at the beginning of the 15th century, this place was already home to a tavern. An innkeeper who was granted the Tafern right by the sovereign was granted special privileges. The old house sign on the church façade is still a reminder of these origins today. The “Tafern” combines tradition and hospitality with modern, light cuisine - a place to arrive, feel good and enjoy yourself in a relaxed atmosphere. Authentic. Cordial. Timeless.
