What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
A lovely hotel that successfully combines the old and the new. Its guestrooms offer contemporary design and the latest technology.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The front doors face Peterskirche in the Altstadt, with Heidelberg University Library right next door.
The rooms
Rooms take a clean-lined, minimalist approach, offering a quiet contrast to the historic lanes outside.
Romer Restaurant
Monochrome portraits of musicians hang against red walls, and the kitchen serves market-fresh regional dishes.
At the table
The ground-floor lounge counter glows from below each evening, serving classic cocktails beside red leather sofas.
How it began
In the nineteenth century, philosophy professor Carl August Erb lived here, famously attempting human flight from the courtyard.
