personal preference from three room categories: business, comfort, or comfort with air

The slightly smaller, light-filled, semi-circular “Rundbogenzimmer” is
something of an insiders’ tip among our guests: views can even be enjoyed over the garden whilst taking a shower here. Our hotel also features a swimming pool, Finnish sauna, heat bench, and tepidarium. Restaurant “Kanapé” caters to guests’ culinary needs, offering food, drinks,
wines, and – during the summer months – a wonderful outdoor terrace.

www.brauhaus-zum-loewen.de
Hotel “Brauhaus zum Löwen” is located at Kornmarkt 3 at the very heart of the
old town, and is today the only remaining brewery in the district of UnstrutHainich. Built in the second half of the sixteenth century, the main hotel building was destroyed in a fire that ravaged the Kornmarkt in the year 1707. It was
subsequently rebuilt to its present state between 1707 and 1713, and served as
an apothecary in the almost 200 years that followed. The present-day “Brauhaus
zum Löwen” (“Lion Brewery”) owes its name to the “Löwen-Apotheke” (“Lion
Apothecary”) housed here in the 20th century. Following German reunification in
1989, the building stood empty for a time.
At least once a week, it is possible to watch the brewmaster preparing the brew.
Both lager (Reichsstädtische Pilsener) and dark ale (Apotheker Dunkel) are
brewed here in the traditional style – naturally strictly in accordance with the
German Beer Purity Law of 1516. The seasonal smoked beer (Rauchbier) and
strong dark beer (Weihnachtsbock) also should not go unmentioned. Around
350 kg malt are needed per brew, hence a crane and a great deal of muscle
power­are used to transfer the malt to the main building’s loft several times a
year where it is then processed into roasted, sour, Pilsener, Munich, or smoked
malt. Over time, the little “Brauhaus zum Löwen” in Mühlhausen has developed
into a hotel brewery with seating for 500 that also features a charming beer garden (open April-October) affording views over the church on the Kornmarkt. The
hotel comprises a total of 81 tasteful rooms, 3 meeting rooms, a car park, and
underground garage.

Welcome to a feel-good atmosphere:
where charming half-timbered history meets
modernity.
The setting couldn’t be more picturesque: the CENTRINUM Altstadt-Hotel is located at the heart of Melsungen’s old town, just a short distance from the River Fulda,
entirely at one with the rustic flair of the half-timbered
house. In 2006, a cluster of listed buildings were carefully
converted to a hotel and subsequently expanded in 2010.
A fascinating transition was thus achieved in which the compelling architectural
link between tradition and modernity is apparent throughout.
Particular care was taken when furnishing the 22 rooms, which include one
apartment. Besides the oak wood flooring, no two rooms are alike. Their charm
derives from the harmony of the modern design, stylish furnishings, and historic
character of the rooms. Lifts, including one made entirely of glass, enable easy
access to all rooms located on the upper floors.
Stylish living is just one of the benefits offered at the CENTRINUM. Another is of
a gastronomic nature. Indeed, the culinary team knows how to surprise its guests
without overwhelming them. Both local specialities using fine ingredients from
the hotel’s kitchen garden as well as sophisticated menu creations exuding international flair can be enjoyed here. It is not without reason that the CENTRINUM
is also a popular venue for family celebrations.
The CENTRINUM Altstadt-Hotel is actually as popular with holidaymakers (including a great many bicycle and motorcycle tourists) as it is with business travellers. The meeting room features state-of-the-art technology, and can cater to
targeted, comfortable business events

A haven of hospitality lies behind our hotel’s listed, almost 600-year-old walls.
Allow yourself to be enchanted by the charming atmosphere that prevails at our
historic establishment as well as the outstanding cuisine, and enjoy the many
comforts of our individual rooms. The lovingly restored mill house is divided into
four separate rooms and two landscaped terraces. The hotel integrated into this
space just a few years ago affords a total of 14 rooms.
Each of our rooms provides the perfect unique accommodation for an unforgettable stay. Centrally-located in the Darmstadt-Offenbach-Frankfurt triangle, the
“Alte Bergmühle” is the ideal setting for all kinds of events.
In 950 AD, Emperor Otto I designated the area around Dreieich a hunting
ground. The first imperial bailiff, Eberhard von Hagen, managed the game and
timber-rich forests with his team of 36 gamekeepers. A number of mills were
built along Hengstbach stream, including the Bergmühle, which was first mentioned in official records in 1422. The mill succumbed to fire during the Thirty
Years’ War, but was subsequently rebuilt. The Bergmühle, which is verifiably the
oldest residence of the Holzmann family (1675), came to the family through
marriage. One of the descendants was Philipp Holzmann. Born in 1805 he made
a name for himself with the construction of railways, bridges, and tunnels. In
1969, this piece of history reminding of times long past was restored, with care
taken to retain original building elements. Thus more than 20 generations
since its construction, the “Alte Bergmühle” today once again serves
guests, who can look forward to firstrate hospitality in traditional surrounds.

Welcome to Hanau, the home town of the Brothers Grimm!
The tradition-rich BEST WESTERN PREMIER Hotel Villa Stokkum lies close to the
old town walls in the southern Hanau district of Steinheim. The historic ensemble that was once the residence of the Baron of Stokkum-Sternfels affords attractive and picturesque surrounds as well as excellent transport connections.
The tower dates from the Gründerzeit, when the building was used as a tobacco
factory for a time.
The building features on the list of industrial cultural monuments, and is the
only inhabited building of its kind in the Rhine-Main region. An extraordinary
atmosphere prevails at this hotel affording an eventful history and offering high
quality standards and services.
Extra-long box spring beds, delightfully comfortable mattresses, and a selection of
14 different pillows at the “pillow buffet” ensure optimal sleeping comfort in our
tastefully-decorated guest rooms. The extensive breakfast buffet includes one very
special service: an egg station at which your morning eggs are prepared fresh, entirely according to your wishes. The traditional Sunday brunch is extremely popular.
Indulge in some creative cuisine in our stylish Atrium Restaurant, where delect­
able dishes prepared using only the freshest of ingredients are served. Both the
legendary “Villa classics” and international specialities as well as creative “new
German cuisine” feature on the menu.
A range of outing options are available to tourists, including nearby Steinheim’s
half-timbered old town, wildlife park “Alte Fasanerie”, and the River Main. Please

The centuries-old “Bäck-Schwarz” guest house is located at the heart of
Altensteig’s historic old town. It is one of the oldest businesses in Germany. The restaurant’s original low ceilings and door frames can prove
something of a challenge for taller guests. The saying here is “Riabl ai­
ziage sonscht hauschd de Meggl nah” [“Keep your head down, else you’ll
hit it!”]. Treat yourself and a loved one to a romantic meal for two at
one of the sturdy inn tables, or enjoy a convivial few hours with a sociable group. The tiled stove ensures cosy warmth during the winter
months.
The year-round motto here is “A guest among friends”. Smaller Swabian
dishes are served here, lovingly prepared by the warm-hearted landlady.
Allow yourself to be charmed by the unique rustic flair that prevails at
the “Bäck-Schwarz”. When you have been here once, you will return

Where history meets zeitgeist
Guests are treated to upmarket 4-star service and familial hospitality at
the Parkhotel Jordanbad in Upper Swabian Biberach – “half way” between the city of Ulm and Mediterranean-like Lake Constance, so to
speak.
It is perhaps unsurprising that the Parkhotel and Jordanbad thermal
baths are located exactly here, amidst pretty, sprawling parklands featuring ancient mighty trees within a short distance of the historic old
town: they were designed and built to enable indulgence and health
benefits, and to allow guests to rediscover themselves.
The atmosphere fosters excellent conversations, creates the ideal setting
for relaxed meetings, and offers an idyllic venue for memorable celebrations with your family and friends.
The team has set itself the goal of impressing guests time and time
again with new ideas, and sincere and authentic hospitality.
With its sprawling sauna offerings, the Jordanbad thermal baths covers
a total of 9,000 m² and forms the centrepiece of the hotel complex. The
restorative effects of the hot thermal waters (47°C) can be enjoyed in
seven different pools. A play of lights and underwater music in the largest of the thermal pools guarantees a relaxing bathing experience.
The saltwater pool uses the healing powers of salt from the Dead
Sea, complemented with soothing
massages on the bubble seats. Alternating scents in the aroma
pool will leave you dreaming, and
it is also possible to relax in the
spring source at a temperature of
39°C.
Highly-qualified staff provide
treatments in cooperation with
the adjacent wellness centre.

The Gasthof zum Bären is the oldest hotel in Meersburg; indeed, based
on excavation finds, it is believed to date from 1250 AD.
The year 1605 is engraved in the camber above the Renaissance gateway
featuring five angels’ heads. It was in this year that the guest house was
extended to its present-day size. A further building was added beside
the city gate some 75 years later, in 1680. When the Thurn-und-Taxis
Post established a postal service between Lindau and Constance in September 1688, the Bären became a stagecoach stop, heralding the start
of a heyday for the guest house. In the 200 years that followed, the
Bären played host to stagecoach travellers. Today the building that
served as stables is used as a garage.
It was only in 1960 that the hotel was again extended: the half­timbered building dating from 1590 and renovated in 1756 was purchased and joined with the Bären. Room 27 featuring an original wooden cassette ceiling is of particular interest to fans of half-timbered
buildings.
The Bären was purchased by the final postmaster, Engelbert Keller, in
1851, and has been owned by the Keller-Karrer-Gilowsky family ever
since.
Today a total of 20 rooms are
available to our guests, all of
which come with a shower, WC,
telephone, Wi-Fi, and flatscreen TV.
We look forward to your visit!
