Frommer's Review
The Hotel zum Türken, located in Obersalzberg, is legendary. It's designed in the alpine style and has terraces with views. On its facade is a large painted sign of "The Turk" -- legend has it that the first owner was a veteran of the Turkish war. In the 1930s, anti-Nazi remarks led to trouble for the proprietor, Herr Schuster, who was arrested. Afterward Bormann used the building as a Gestapo headquarters; it then fell victim to air raids and looting in April 1945. Herr Schuster's daughter, Therese Partner, was able to buy the ruin from the German government in 1949. There is an old air-raid shelter directly under the hotel that can be visited every day from 9am to 3pm. The small- to medium-size rooms are well-maintained with neatly kept bathrooms with showers or tubs. Most rooms have balconies with views of the valley. They don't have private phones, but there's an international pay phone in the main hallway.
