“The Intercontinental Hotel, located on the Obersalzberg mountainside near Berchtesgaden in Bavaria, offers breathtaking views and a connection to a significant historical site, as it was once frequented by Adolf Hitler. Despite its stunning location, the hotel has struggled to attract guests, with a reported occupancy rate of only 53% last year, resulting in a loss of 4 million euros (approximately 5.3 million dollars). Room rates range from 200 to 400 euros per night.
The hotel, which opened in 2005, was built on the site of a former guesthouse that hosted Nazi supporters who visited Hitler at his nearby holiday home. Its opening sparked controversy over the commercialization of a site with such a dark history. A modern museum nearby documents the war crimes committed by the Nazis, offering visitors a sobering reminder of the past.”
