The curved brick building puts business travelers right across from the park, with quiet green views, thermal pools, and weekend piano aperitifs.
What it’s good at
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Behind that distinctive curving brick facade, three hundred guest rooms look out through rounded bay windows.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Schlossgarten sits directly across the street. Beyond the park, Stuttgart Central Station is an easy ten-minute walk away.
The rooms
Facing the park, rooms stick to warm wood furniture, crisp lines, and quiet green views through wide windows.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A circular whirlpool heated to 36°C sits beside the blue-tiled indoor pool, beneath curved wood walls.
The spa
A mosaic ice fountain cools bathers after the 70°C bio sauna, and treatment rooms host couples massages.
The gym
The fitness center stays open 24 hours a day with cardio machines and TRX suspension straps.
At the table
The dining room serves daily breakfast buffets beneath mirrored ceilings, and dinner tables spread across an olive-tree terrace.
How it began

The building began life in 1987 as the Hotel Inter-Continental, before a nineteen-million-euro overhaul transformed it into Le Méridien in 2004.

The eight vibes
Design
Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
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.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
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.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
