A historical inn near the centre of Rothenburg
A historical inn near the centre of Rothenburg

Accommodation: A quaint 16th century inn
This romantic little inn dating from 1534 combines history, charm and an excellent location. Just two blocks from the central market square, the Kloster-Stüble is tucked away on a quiet side street behind an old church and has pretty views of the surrounding countryside from many of the rooms. Behind the hotel is the Castle Garden, a quiet park that offers a unique view of the town. The rooms are somewhat snug but comfortably furnished in the rustic style. A large apartment, set under the eaves, is perfect for families or longer stays. The cosy restaurant serves hearty, regional cuisine. After dinner we recommend taking the Night Watchman's Tour of Rothenburg. The hotel staff can provide the exact time and location.

Next to Nymphenburg Palace: 19th century Villa

Accommodation: A B&B at Nymphenburg Palace
The attractive Neo-Renaissance villa was built in 1886 next to the Nymphenburg Palace and park, one of the most famous sites in Munich. The 17th century palace, now open to the public, has played an important role in numerous historic events. The small, family-run hotel next door prides itself on its 23 individually designed bedrooms and friendly service. Bicycles are loaned for free, for example, and tickets for the local public transportation system for the ride downtown can be purchased at the reception desk. In spite of the quiet location, Germany's largest beer garden is just minutes away. The hotel staff will gladly provide restaurant recommendations and assist with the planning of local activities. Indeed, the little inn was recently named a "Best Service Hotel" by the travel website Venere. Free parking is available.

Stunning view from the inn

Accommodation: A remote mountain-top castle
On a lofty summit originally selected by King Ludwig the Mad for the site of another fairy-tale castle after completion of Neuschwanstein sits a hotel which is like no other. Newly arrived guests are first struck by the endless vistas of mountains, green valleys, lakes, and forests at their feet. Then comes the hotel itself, in which every room was individually and imaginatively decorated by the owners themselves, resulting in living quarters that are not mere guest rooms but distinct creations that exude luxury, taste and comfort. Next to the hotel the ruins of Ludwig's final project still stand, within whose tranquil walls the visitor may better sense the lingering spirit of the eccentric ruler than at tourist-plagued Neuschwanstein, clearly visible in the distance. Travellers who brave the narrow road leading up to the castle will be richly rewarded.

Unique experience: A stay in Germany's oldest inn
Unique experience: A stay in Germany's oldest inn

Accommodation: Germany's oldest guesthouse
In business since the year 1120, the hotel in the centre of Freiburg credibly claims to be the oldest continually operated guesthouse in Germany. The property has gone through numerous architectural changes through the centuries, starting out as a Romanesque building before being converted to gothic and finally baroque style. In tune with the hotel's long history, the hosts place great emphasis on traditional Black Forest hospitality. Many of the bedrooms are done in rustic country-inn style. Guests can ask to see the historical vaulted cellar. All major sites in the old town are within easy walking distance.

Noble exterior: 18th century residence in Heidelberg
Noble exterior: 18th century residence in Heidelberg

Accommodation: A boutique hotel on the River Neckar
On entering the rooms in this new boutique hotel guests are first struck by the stunning views of Heidelberg from every window. At night the illuminated castle and Old Town spread out before you will almost seem unreal. For more unrestricted panoramic views you can relax on the rooftop lounge, or spend the afternoon or evening even higher up in the hotel's private vineyard - with a well-stocked picnic basket provided by your host.

After admiring the view guests can begin to admire their temporary home away from home: every room and every piece of furniture in it were exclusively designed by a Florentine architect with an eye to balance and harmony. All items of furniture were handmade by local craftsmen. While thoroughly modern, the interior decor was designed to recapture the late 18th century spirit of Romanticism, when Heidelberg was Germany's philosophical and literary centre. The noble simplicity of the 18th century building's white exterior gives the impression of a private residence rather than a hotel. Downtown Heidelberg is just a few minutes' walk away across the famous Old Bridge.

Antique furniture by the fireplace: A palace chamber

Accommodation: Schlosshotel Kronberg
Kronberg Palace was built in 1889 by Empress Victoria, the eldest daughter of Queen Victoria of England and the wife of German Emperor Frederick III. The unique design of the palace reflects the monarch's position between two cultures: Half the building was built in German timber-frame style and half in the style of a British country manor house. The popular empress lived in the palace from 1889 to 1901, making it the centre of courtly life in Germany. Many of the rooms are decorated with antiques and original portraits, including two of the sovereign herself. The spirit of royalty is still preserved at Kronberg today. The luxury accommodation is a member of "The Leading Hotels of the World", an association of properties held to the highest standards.

Umfulana clients are assigned a superior room: A category of individually designed and extraordinarily comfortable bedrooms featuring the Empress's furniture. Guests will relish the unparalleled mixture of modern luxury and historical ambiance on a royal scale. The tranquil setting and manicured grounds make it easy to forget that Frankfurt Airport is a mere 20-minute drive away.
