FROM THE HISTORIC BÜDINGEN SITE TO THE BUFF MEDICAL RESORT: A JOURNEY THROUGH TIME
The Buff Medical Resort in the historic Büdingen area combines a rich history with state-of-the-art medical excellence. The site, which extends picturesquely along the shores of Lake Constance, was once a living part of Constance’s history. Over the centuries, the extensive site has been converted and developed several times, always taking into account the natural beauty of the surroundings and the cultural significance of the region.
The BAD-HOTEL
In the 19th century, there was already a large luxury hotel on the shores of Lake Constance: the ‘Bad-Hotel’. It opened in 1875, when the Seestraße was still largely undeveloped. It was an imposing building and its predecessor was much larger than today’s Buff Medical Resort. A small building in the water was also part of the hotel at the time. A private wooden bathing establishment. Luxury must have been the order of the day back then, even if its use as a luxury hotel only lasted a few years.
Dr Büdingen's health resort
After the death of Theodor Büdingen in 1927, the family continued to run the business until 1971. One year later, the company was dissolved and the plant was sold by the Büdingen heirs.
A predictable future
The site came to a standstill again. For around half a century, nothing happened on the Büdingen site. Until it was finally bought by an investor: Hans Jürg Buff, whose name today stands for excellence in the field of medical prevention. The renowned Swiss hotelier recognised the site’s potential and decided to create another unique, luxurious health resort here.
Vision Buff
Hans Jürg Buff’s aim was to create a place that combines the healing powers of nature with the latest findings in medicine to offer his guests holistic and sustainable health care. Today, the Buff Medical Resort offers a clear guide to a healthy, long and fulfilling life. Guests learn the basics of a mindful lifestyle based on four important pillars: Regular exercise, a diet rich in vital nutrients, a healthy metabolism and restful sleep.
The perspective
The renovation and remodelling of the Büdingen site was carried out with the utmost respect for the natural surroundings. A modern new building was erected that blends harmoniously into the landscape and offers guests the highest levels of comfort and luxury.
Buff Medical Resort
In 2025, the Buff Medical Resort will open its doors to establish itself as one of the world’s leading addresses for holistic healthcare. The resort not only offers first-class medical treatments and naturopathic therapies, but also an environment that invites you to find inner peace and relaxation. Today, the resort in the Büdingen area symbolises the successful combination of tradition and innovation, of history and the future. It is a place where guests can find themselves in an atmosphere of peace and beauty in order to revitalise body, mind and soul and return to their everyday lives invigorated.
