With an unbeatable location right on the lake front with a stellar view of the lighthouse, Helvetia is a superchic boutique number, with a mix of highly stylish rooms with themes swinging from the Swiss Alps to Oriental Spa (with own sauna). Or you can notch up the fancy factor by staying the night in a private yacht in the harbour.
The spa is something else, with views reaching over Lindau's rooftops to the lake from the sauna, jetted open-air pool and Zen-style relaxation lounge.
