Hotel Schwärzler is our Luxury pick in Bregenz. It suits couples and drivers who want a comfortable, well-reviewed hotel with free parking and a strong breakfast.
The property lists a gym, a restaurant, free parking, a garden, a terrace and free Wi-Fi. Its tags also mention a spa and pets, but details on both, including any pet fee, are not confirmed.
Note that it is a four-star hotel, and that rating is estimated by the accommodation rather than official. Skip it if you expect five-star service. Skip it too if your trip falls during a festival and you are on a tight budget.

What guests say
