Brenner's Park-Hotel & Spa Baden - Baden, Germany

Long before Americans turned spa into a verb, travelers from around the world have been checking into stately Brenner’s Park in the spa city of Baden-Baden to relax and rejuvenate. While you could be very comfortable just staying in the hotel, the real point of a visit is taking part in the spa. And spa-ing is done a bit differently here—forget about an herb wrap and starvation. Instead, the spa experience is all about indulgence—a wonderful meal, fine wine, a lovely room, a stroll through the park and a night at the casino.
