Hotel Eisenhut, Rothenburg

Formed of four 16th century mansions, the Hotel Eisenhut stands proudly in the heart of Rothenburg.

However, modern day comforts and panoramic views of the Old Town and Tauber Valley are guaranteed in every room. The Eisenhut Restaurant offers local culinary delights centred on seasonal produce, and the outside terrace, beautiful views over Rothenburg, is the ideal spot to unwind after a day exploring.

A short walk from Marienplatz Square lays Hotel Torbräu, one of Munich’s oldest hotels. Refurbished in 2012, the rooms feature a blend of contemporary and antique furnishings, giving an air of sophistication and a homely feel. Wake to the sound of melodic church bells from the beautiful towers opposite and open your curtains to views of the Isartor landmark.

Schloss Fuschl, Salzburg

Standard Room | Including Breakfast | 3 Nights

A fairy-tale chateau located on a peninsula in Lake Fuschl, the Schloss Fuschl promises a peaceful and tranquil stay.
