Hotel Overview

A charming 15th century inn with a fascinating history of student sword duelling, set in the historic university town of Heidelberg, this is the oldest hotel in the city offering beautifully appointed rooms, two restaurants, a rose terrace and an authentic collection of antique memorabilia. With its cottage-like appearance and pretty shuttered windows, inside you will find snug rooms with wooden beams and exposed stone walls, all of which create a wonderfully romantic atmosphere. The suites are bright and cheerful decorated in floral fabrics, artworks and a mix of antique and contemporary furniture. Dine in Mensurstube restaurant to experience the history of the inn with its collections of beer tankards, mugs and swords used by the students in swashbuckling duels over the centuries. Take a walk around the picturesque town, along the banks of the River Neckar, across the pretty bridge to the castle that overlooks the old town. Return for a gourmet dinner in Le Gourmet restaurant.

Location Description

The most sought after part of Heidelberg is ancient Neuenheim, since everybody prefers to live here. Within this stylish very quiet living area the Hirschgasse (stag mews) is located, where old Villas define the select residential character. There is only little residents traffic from the people who live here, so if peacefulness is an argument it certainly can be fulfilled. Bear in mind that the very busy street noise from through traffic from the Neuenheimer Landstrasse along the River Neckar Embankment can not be heard here. Clearly to be heard are the birds tweeting their songs in a city. (Big city customers tell us, that they are not accustomed to this anymore and are pleasantly surprised) The Hirschgasse is located in a peaceful little side valley just opposite the Heidelberg castle, on the northern side of the river Neckar. In this select residential area also the World famous Philosophers Walk offer panoramic views all over Heidelberg and the Rhine plane. The ascent to it starts right by our house and is moreover a fantastic runners pardise (part of the track is every year also included in the Heidelberg marathon). If one likes it more flat, the heart of the Old town is seducing with a 8-minute walk along the River Neckar, then crossing the Old Bridge, with the Heidelberg Castle always dominantly in view. William Turner, one of the most important Bristish painters, was fascinated by the view onto the Heidelberg Castle and therefore painted it from the Hirschgasse. (we forgot to ask him to paint the Hirschgasse..) The whole Hirschgasse was embedded in the old times fully in the woods of the Holy Mountain (house mountain of the Hirschgasse. Nice Villas have been added since then, but it still boasts with its nearness to nature and an historic vineyard with a fantastic view onto the Heidelberg castle called -Sunnyside upon the bridge-. A great Riesling and Pinot Noir are produced here and exclusively offered to hotel guests of the Hirschgasse.
