Seegut Zeppelin — a Member of Design Hotels™
Seegut Zeppelin is an independently run design hotel in Friedrichshafen on Lake Constance and participates in the Marriott Bonvoy® program.
On the shores of Lake Constance, set within a four-hectare landscape park, Seegut Zeppelin brings together two things that rarely go hand in hand: the independence of a privately run house and the worldwide reach of one of the largest travel programs. As a member of Design Hotels™, the house stands for architecture, place, and attitude — and as a participating property in the Marriott Bonvoy® program, you earn and redeem points around the globe.
Design Hotels™ — a Curated Community
Not a style. An attitude.
Design Hotels™ is not a hotel chain but a handpicked international community. Since 1993 it has included more than 300 independently run houses in over 60 countries — each shaped by the vision of its hosts, whom Design Hotels calls its “Originals.” They are connected not by a standard, but by architecture with character, cultural roots, and the conviction that travel can be more than simply changing location.
Seegut Zeppelin fits in from within its setting: the historic Villa Gminder at its heart, four understated stand-alone buildings that defer to the landscape, its own unobstructed access to Lake Constance, and a kitchen at the Pinus that thinks from the region outward. What connects us with Design Hotels is therefore not a shared look, but the conviction that a place should mean something.
Marriott Bonvoy® on Lake Constance
Independent in character. Connected worldwide.
As a member of Design Hotels™, Seegut Zeppelin participates in the Marriott Bonvoy® program — deliberately with its own manageable set of benefits. This very restraint is part of the promise: you stay at an independently run house in Friedrichshafen while at the same time enjoying the reach of a worldwide program with well over 9,000 hotels. In concrete terms, this means for you:
Earning points. During a qualifying stay you earn Marriott Bonvoy points on the room and on eligible charges on your bill. Elite members additionally receive bonus points depending on their status.
Enjoying benefits. Depending on your status, you benefit among other things from complimentary in-room Wi-Fi, welcome points from Gold status onward, a preferred room upgrade, and a late check-out — each subject to availability (see overview).
Redeeming points. You can use your points for free nights at Seegut Zeppelin; at Design Hotels, limited blackout dates apply for this.
Booking and earning points. You can book directly with us and provide your Marriott Bonvoy membership number — as a member, you thereby earn points for your stay. You will receive the best available rate with a direct booking in any case. With a direct booking, the stay appears in the Marriott Bonvoy app only after check-out, once the points have been credited.

Good to Know
As a participating Design Hotel, certain Marriott Bonvoy benefits do not apply here in the same way as at traditional Marriott properties. Complimentary breakfast, lounge access, member rates, and mobile check-in are not among them. Instead, your morning here begins à la carte, with products from the region — and all guests receive the best available rate with a direct booking anyway.
