Hotel St. Elisabeth – Your Monastery Hotel on Lake Constance
The Hotel St. Elisabeth at Hegne Abbey combines the tradition of a monastic inn with the comfort and hospitality of a 3-star superior hotel.
Located in the heart of the Lake Constance region , this hotel—built in 2006—offers sweeping views of the Untersee region from many of its rooms.
Whether for a vacation, a conference, a seminar, or a retreat—the Hotel St. Elisabeth is a place of relaxation, connection, and spirituality.
Quality, sustainability, and responsible business practices are key components of our hotel concept. This commitment has already been recognized and validated.
The Hotel St. Elisabeth received the DEHOGA Gold Environmental Certification for its particularly environmentally conscious and sustainable practices.
Our accessibility has also been certified by the Association of Christian Hoteliers (VCH).
For us, using natural resources thoughtfully is an integral part of hospitality. We make sure to use energy and water responsibly, minimize waste, and prioritize regional and seasonal foods whenever possible.
As part of the fair.nah.logisch initiative, we are working together with Hegne Abbey to promote the sustainable and fair use of food and resources.
Our location—nestled between the monastery, nature, and Lake Constance—reminds us every day to treat our environment and God’s creation with respect.
The Hotel St. Elisabeth is largely designed to be accessible. Wide doors and easily accessible areas make it easier to use our rooms, conference rooms, and public areas.
For guests with limited mobility, two specially equipped Category A rooms are available at Haus Florentini.
The Association of Christian Hoteliers (VCH) has confirmed our accessibility: www.vch.de
We are a partner of DUNITAL.

Seminars, Courses, and Retreats at Hegne Abbey
The Theodosius Academy of the Hegne Monastery Foundation offers a wide variety of courses, seminars, and events on the topics of faith, spirituality, the search for meaning, and creativity . This also includes programs related to Blessed Sister Ulrika as well as pilgrimage opportunities along the Ulrika Trail.
Numerous seminars, art exhibitions, and concerts take place at the Hotel St. Elisabeth and on the monastery grounds.
Places of Silence and Spirituality
In our fast-paced and often hectic times, the Hotel St. Elisabeth offers various retreats that invite guests to linger, find silence, and pray.
The meditation room, the room of silence, and the hotel chapel offer a chance to step away from everyday life for a moment and find inner peace. The monastery church, the crypt, and the adoration chapel are also important places of spiritual life at Hegne Monastery.

Art and Culture at Hegne Abbey
At Hegne Abbey, art and faith engage in a vibrant dialogue. Rotating exhibitions, artist residencies, and original works by contemporary artists displayed in the guest rooms as well as in the conference and work spaces define the unique atmosphere of the Hotel St. Elisabeth.
Concerts and cultural events enrich life on the monastery grounds and foster dialogue between art, religion, and society.
Creative Workshop at the Hotel St. Elisabeth
The creative workshop has been located in the grounds of the Hotel St. Elisabeth for more than ten years. Here, creativity and art—as expressions of human wholeness—take center stage.
The “Creativity & Art” focus is all about rediscovering your own creativity and, in the process, finding inner peace, inspiration, and renewed strength.
Regular creative sessions, introductory days, and multi-day programs combine meditation, experiences in nature, and creative activities. This opens up new ways of connecting with oneself and creates space for inner peace and renewed strength.
