What it’s good at
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Dating from 1894 this carefully restored house lies directly by the Rhine. The historic elements have been deliberately preserved to create an elegant and high quality residence.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
In Hattenheim by the Rhine, steps from village wine estates and riverfront walking paths.
The rooms
Main house rooms keep their original stucco ceilings and antique tiled stoves, and the guest house opposite has oak floors.
Restaurant
Gourmetrestaurant Kronenschlösschen
Tasting menus unfold beneath painted trompe l'oeil ceilings in the salon, or outside on the terrace under white parasols.
Restaurant

Lattice windows look onto the garden from the bright conservatory, where the kitchen serves Wispertal salmon trout and seasonal classics.
How it began
A Frankfurt gallerist built the house in 1894 as living quarters and an exhibition space for his artists.

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.

Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.

A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.

A place apart: the property is the destination.
