  • Most famous former guest: Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. 

    Near Weimar and Leipzig, Germany, the beautifully atmospheric Elgersburg Castle, which has a history going back to at least the 12th century, is one of Thuringia’s finest and best-preserved castles, one which now happily serves as a luxury hotel.

    It also has a lovely hilltop position, towering over the pretty village of the same name, at the edge of the fabled Thuringian Forest (Thüringer Wald in German).

    THE ACCOMMODATION:

    You can choose between standard and deluxe singles and doubles, with the deluxe being worth the extra premium we feel, for their extra space and more lavish decor.

    All of the rooms, in line with the rest of this roughly 1,000-year-old castle, display plenty of old-world charm. They feel cosy and warm, and with modern facilities, flat screen TV and digital hotel guides for example, kept relatively unintrusive.

    PRICES:

    Check out all the details – prices, reviews and more photos – on the booking page here.

    FACILITIES & THINGS TO DO:

    Though the hotel feels intimate there is much common space to be explored, allowing one to soak up some of the medieval atmosphere.

    With its strategic hilltop location a stroll around the castle grounds offers some marvelous views over the pretty little village of Elgersburg, and the surrounding Forest of Thuringia.

    There is a very fine restaurant at Schlosshotel Elgersburg which serves up excellent food, mainly inspired by traditional German recipes, in a suitably lovely old dining hall.

    They brew their own Elgersburger Beer here too which you can sample alongside a wide range of other drinks at the restaurant or at the friendly hotel bar, and brewery tours are also available.

    As mentioned previously the castle has a long history; it was first mentioned in official deeds in 1139 with the original structure believed to have been built in the tenth century, and so a great first introduction would be to join one of their daily guided castle tours.

    THE LOCATION:

    Schlosshotel Elgersburg sits on a hill above the scenic village of the same name, Elgersburg, and at the edge of the wilds of the Thuringian Forest/Thüringer Wald.

    Von Goethe has strong connections with Elgersburg, both the village and the castle, having stayed there on occasion. He will though always be more associated with the very historic and cultured town of Weimar which is just over a half an hour’s drive to the northeast.

    Beyond Weimar, the city of Leipzig is around an hour and a half by car, with train connections to both via Erfurt also available. Frankfurt can be reached in about two and a half hours by car.

    WHAT OTHER GUESTS SAY:

    “Absolutely lovely! The views were gorgeous and the castle hotel was just as lovely. The staff was the friendliest I had encountered in my two weeks in Germany. The restaurant food was also incredible…..”

    “Fairytale night at the castle with a great breakfast! Lovingly designed interiors with historical flair, without having to miss comfort. Rich breakfast buffet in great rooms with a spectacular view. Very nice reception; Location great, just a few minutes from the motorway, but very quiet, nice starting point for hikes in the Rennsteig area….”

    Schloss Waldeck

    Address: 1 Schloßstraße
    Waldeck
    Hesse
    34513
    Germany
    The 4 Star Schloss Waldeck is a stunning hilltop castle overlooking Kellerwald-Edersee Nature Reserve and Lake Edersee itself. It is a jaw dropping sight – it has the look and feel of exactly what is 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.   READ MORE

In the lovely old spa town of Kronberg, and conveniently near Frankfurt Airport, Germany, Schlosshotel Kronberg is a beautifully evocative building, both inside and out. Though only dating back about 130 years it has plenty of 19th & 20th century historical intrigue and big connections to both the Prussian and British Royal Families (see the history section below). On the subject of the latter – Schlosshotel Kronberg was recently chosen to double for Sandringham House in the upcoming film Spencer, starring Kristen Stewart and based upon the life of Princess Diana. It is these days a top of the range 5 Star Hotel, undoubtedly one of the best in Germany, with tremendous facilities including an 18 hole golf course, a fantastic fine dining restaurant, a beauty salon and beautifully atmospheric old English style gardens. The interiors are resplendent with an amazing array of antiques and art pieces; treasures such as original paintings by Titian, Rubens and Gainsborough, and the whole experience is one of tremendous grandeur and opulence.
