Heidelberg Suites is a boutique hotel on the site of a splendid villa with a private spa, which was originally built at the turn of the 20th century. The suites have been meticulously restored and stylishly designed by an internationally renowned architect and designer.

The rooms and the entire property is beautifully curated. I’ve been to Heidelberg three times and I’ve always stayed in Heidelberg suites.

Featuring an in-house brewery, this traditional building is situated at the foot of Heidelberg Castle in Heidelberg’s Old Town district. Heidelberg-Altstadt Train Station is just a 5-minute walk away.

Rooms are located either in the main building of the Kulturbrauerei Heidelberg or else in the adjoining annex, Wirthaus zum Seppl. Rooms feature wooden floors and come with a TV. A hairdryer is provided in the en suite bathroom and some rooms offer views of the castle.

We had a wonderful stay at Kulturbrauerei Heidelberg. The staff was excellent, location was perfect, and the restaurant was very good. We will definitely be back. They do have parking but not many spots so reserve early! If you are driving a large car, it's a little tricky getting into the garage but definitely doable. Also, just so you are aware, a double bed is two single beds pushed together. We are used to this as we live in Europe, but I know some North American's are not used to that.

This non-smoking hotel offers cosy accommodation on the quiet outskirts of Heidelberg. Heidelberg Castle and the historic Old Town are accessible in just 15 minutes using the local tram service.

The family-run Hotel Heidelberg’s lovingly furnished rooms are decorated in farmhouse-style, and feature a range of modern comforts. You can also look forward to a hearty daily breakfast buffet.

Perfect location, the area is more calm than the city. You can easily park your car there and take the tram (the tram stop is located just in front of the hotel) that leaves you at the beginning of the old town. We have enjoyed also the restaurant/breakfast area. The patio was a nice place where to relax after a long day out.

    Great hotel - newly refurbished and very stylishly decorated in contemporary style, much better than the photos. Very comfy bed, lovely bathroom (German plumbing is the best) and the staff were fantastic! The location was amazing, set up high on a mountain overlooking the stunning town of Heidelberg but with the advantage of a funicular to get you down into the town. The hotel is normally a high price point but we got a great deal on Booking.com partly thanks to my Genius discount.
