Celebrating German Cuisine

<strong>Celebrating cuisine</strong>: The hotel is adjacent to Boebel's family butcher shop. He lives next door, with his wife and two daughters. He says he decided to open the hotel to celebrate the traditional German sausage. "I like to travel around the world -- and when I travel around the world, I like different foods [and] food culture," Boebel tells CNN Travel.

Forging Connections Through Food

<strong>Forging connections:</strong> Boebel opened the hotel in this barn, pictured, next to his butchers, describing it as a "a place where people meet in Bavaria, in my home, and eat typical food and connect together."

A Designed Experience

<strong>Design-led</strong>: "I designed this hotel," says Boebel. "I would like it when I am on holidays, I like not only a normal hotel with white walls, water and electricity [...] I like a special experience, a nice design-themed hotel."

A Unique Destination

<strong>Destination experience:</strong> Boebel also makes the point that he's created a destination experience, attracting people to the village of Rittersbach. "The village is not spectacular," he admits. "It's not a castle, it's not a touristic site, but there is a hotel."

Quirky Touches

<strong>Wurst nightmare?</strong> Some of the design touches are a bit creepy -- such as this butcher's knife reading "Zu den Zimmern" ("To the Rooms"), which acts as a guidepost.
