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.

Gourmet dining in a historical water mill
Gourmet dining in a historical water mill

Accommodation: A 15th century water mill
As late as 1923 grain was still being ground in this historical water mill alongside a little brook on the western edge of Munich. Although only a short drive away from the downtown area, the four-star hotel is located in a peaceful setting. The rooms are decorated in the Bavarian country style with views of the garden or the stream. The hotel restaurant offers excellent local cuisine as well as a selection of international dishes in a warm, rustic ambiance beneath the thick wooden beams of the old mill.

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. All major sites in the old town are within easy walking distance.

Renaissance architecture: Hotel in Heidelberg
Renaissance architecture: Hotel in Heidelberg

Accommodation: A Renaissance hotel in downtown Heidelberg
Heidelberg is a romantic old university town with a long pedestrian street, the Hauptstrasse, which constitutes the dynamic heart of the city. The hotel stands at the beginning of this key avenue. Its stately facade dates from 1592, the year the gold sign was imprinted that still hangs above the door. Official records show the building served as a town hall for a decade before becoming the Hotel Zum Ritter. Thanks to the hotel's impressive facade and central location, its lovely panelled dining room is popular among the throngs of tourists that flock to Heidelberg. This makes the hotel a very bustling place in the evenings. It has been extended to the rear, and in the newer wing you find ten spacious, modern bedrooms with custom-fitted furniture and floor-to-ceiling draperies. The remaining rooms vary from small single rooms to large bedrooms overlooking the busy main street. The decor is more modern than old-world.

Built for an empress: Kronberg Palace

Antique furniture by the fireplace: A palace chamber
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.
