The 4 Star Schloss Waldeck is a stunning German hilltop castle hotel overlooking the Kellerwald-Edersee Nature Reserve and Lake Edersee itself.
It is a jaw dropping sight – it has the look and feel of exactly what it is – a medieval hill fortress protecting this very strategic part of Hesse for nearly a thousand years, as well as the ancient home of the Counts of Waldeck.
Externally much of it looks unchanged for centuries and the views from it are simply breath taking. Internally though the design veers towards the modern, though will still many of the old features on display.
The rooms are generally sleek and modern too, they feel like those of a boutique luxury city hotel, but with a dash of historic flavour.
The restaurant is a classy affair, with modern international and German fare, but in a quite medieval dining room. There is also a stylish, more modern cafe, sleek bar & lounge areas, and spa facilities.
Some Guest Reviews:
“ Nothing, nothing, nothing beats a romantic stay like a night in a medieval castle.
We stayed for the missus birthday in Schloss Waldeck. We had clear skies, sunny weather.
And an Absolutely stunning view. Great food and a stunning view.
This hotel deserves it’s “excellent” rating!…”
“The location is awesome, the view even better. The room was the perfect mix between castle of the 12th century and modern facilities. Breakfast was very good and everyone was super friendly….”
