Franz' top-end hotel appears earthy and unflashy, with the inside following suit in
natural, textured tones brightened by bold, zippy carpet. It offers a classy package of
porter service, degustation dinners (included, along with breakfast, in the price) and a
snazzy bar, along with luxurious rooms in which you'll sleep like a log. All have a deck
facing into the forest.
