Top 5 Reasons to Book Your Holiday Getaway at Hermann Hill

Are you feeling the stress of the holidays and needing a way to unwind? Hermann Hill offers the perfect holiday getaway.

• Escape the Holiday Hustle

• Explore Hermann’s Scenic Trails

• Cozy Suites With Stunning Views

• Enjoy Local Holiday Festivities

• Discover Holiday Markets and Events

Make Hermann Hill a must-stop venue for a fun and relaxing holiday retreat. That said, here are the top 5 reasons to book your stay.

We all experience stress throughout our lives, but it increases during the holiday hustle. Nine out of ten people report feeling overwhelmed during the holidays, from finding the right gift to having too much to do, feeling left out, and more. A holiday getaway is the perfect way to unwind, de-stress, relax, and even have some festive fun.

Rather than pushing through the hustle, take some time for self-care.

• Escape the busyness

• Book a relaxing couple’s massage with our on-site massage therapists

• Indulge in a wine-tasting

• Relax by the fireplace

• Enjoy a festival or holiday event

• Hit the trails for a walk and some breathtaking views

Once you're ready to head back to the 'wild,' you'll be more relaxed, focused, and ready to embrace the hustle and own the season — your way and on your terms. Sometimes, a little time away is needed to recharge and refocus. The holidays should be as enjoyable as they are festive.

Sometimes coined as a form of 'meditation in motion,' walking — even a leisure stroll — is a fantastic way to boost your mood, release those 'feel good' endorphins, and counteract holiday stress. With that in mind, we have some amazing areas for a short romantic stroll.

The Forest of Gongs is a phenomenal experience. Read the gong inscriptions. Each gong bears an inscription describing different relationships. Once you find the one that most resonates with you, ring the gong once for every year you’ve been together. This path is as enchanting as it is romantic, with a pergola overhead and gongs on either side.

Looking for a walking trail? Try our three-mile Hermann Hill walking trail. Surround yourself with beauty and reconnect with each other and nature as you walk the winding gravel path leading from our inn to the town center. You can complete the hike in about an hour. Or, spend some time getting to know our town.

• • Enjoy the rich, historic charm.

  • Sip on local wine

  • Taste mouth-watering Missouri fare

  • Engage in holiday events and festivities

  • Shop local boutiques — you never know what you might find

Are you 'up' for a more adventurous hike? There are several scenic trails and walking tours in the surrounding area, such as:

• • Bayer Walking Tour

  • Grand Bluffs Conservation Area

  • Katy Trail State Park

Lace up your hiking boots and embrace the great outdoors. Get ready to de-stress and get your winter hike on.

Few things are as cozy and inviting as a luxury suite with a view. Many of our suites have fireplaces and jetted tubs. Others, like our cottage suites, offer a deck with a gas grill, fire table, and covered seating area. Sit back and enjoy the scenic views of the Missouri River valley.

Of course, all our cozy suites, cottages, and condos offer the perfect way to celebrate the holidays — Hermann style.

• Elegant accommodations

• Unique experiences

• Indulging opportunities to enhance your stay

• Proximity to shopping, dining, events and festivities

Speaking of holiday festivities and events, there are many festive things to do around the holidays in the area, from parades to winter festivals, the annual Christmas tree display and contest, seasonal events, and so much more. So, feel free to get out and join the fun, engage with the community, and enjoy the festivities.

The holiday season wouldn't be the same without experiencing the holiday markets and seasonal events. So, whether you're just starting your holiday shopping adventure or in the thick of it, there are plenty of great shops in Hermann, Missouri, where you'll find the perfect gift for someone on your list — and maybe even a fantastic gift for yourself.

Besides all our fabulous boutiques to shop, Hermann also offers two Christmas markets:

• Kristkindl Market at Stone Hill Winery — usually during the first week of December

• Christkindlmarkt at Hermanhof — usually during the second week of December

So, what's the difference between the two? The first is more of a traditional Christmas market with plenty of vendor booths, carolers, and mulled wine to sip. The latter is more of a European-style Christmas market with artisan gifts, tasty treats, craft wines, and old-world charm.

While strolling through the markets and festivities and sampling the craft wines, visit one of our local wineries or breweries for a taste of Missouri. Check out Stone Hill, Endless Summer, or Adam Puchta wineries — Mosey over to Tin Mill Brewing for some fantastic suds. The experiences you'll take away from these places are worth a stop.

A holiday getaway at Hermann Hill is more than just a simple escape. It's a unique experience that offers you a chance to step back from the hustle of life and immerse yourself in Missouri's beauty while you unwind and recharge.

Our luxurious accommodations provide everything you need for a bit of R&R. When ready to ease into the festivities, head into town. There are many things to do, see, explore, and experience on our property and the surrounding area. Bring your best friends — or the whole family — and stay in our new condos.

By taking a break and indulging in relaxation — and maybe a little pampering — you'll return home ready to take on the rest of the holiday season. Reserve your room at Hermann Hill today and give yourself the gift of a stress-free holiday retreat.
