Hotel Kronenschlösschen

Kronenschlösschen is one of our absolute favorite restaurants. The food is excellent and is always well presented. The staff is professional and friendly. The sommelier is one of Germany‘s best and his team can be relied upon to make a great recommendation. The Kronenschlösschen has a world class wine cellar, which is nationally and internationally renowned. Many people visit purely for the wines, though it would be a shame not to relish the work of the prize winning chef. Finally, the garden is delightful and is a real pleasure to sit and fine peace in.

It's a unique property, built in the 19th century. The suite is on the 3rd floor, the staff was very helpful to move our luggage to and from the room, as there's no elevator. There's no AC in the room, it wasn't necessary in May. The bathroom is clean and luxurious with soaking tub and shower. There's no drinking water provided in the room, bottled water is available in the mini bar. Location is in between Drosselgrasse and Eltville. The restaurant is amazing.

Excellent stay right on the Rhine River. Clean rooms and walking distance to great restaurants

Best meal ever! Great cuisine and a superlative waiter. Highly recommend their restaurant.

Stayed for 1 night following a flight over from the USA (and wanting to visit the Rhine). Lovely hotel, balancing a historic structure with modern rooms. I was in the guesthouse, had a fan to keep the room cool, and a comfortable bed. Across the main road is a wine bar and cafe overlooking the river and a path that winds for many miles in each direction. Staff were excellent. I would definitely recommend it as a base for exploring the region.

This is just an outstanding place, with many quirks but they add to the charme - it's a 19th century chateau right by the Rhine (not on the levee; nothing is, the Rhine can be fierce), and it is very much a boutique chateau hotel. The place is famous as a two-star Michelin restaurant, but we went Monday-Wednesday when it's closed (but you can still get wine on the terrace etc.), which meant much more quietude, and it was great. Key for the experience was that we had the Tower Suite, their prime room, which has historical value - the German Constitution was discussed here shortly after WWII by the key party leaders. The bathroom is fine, the bedroom a bit low-ceilinged and dark, but the actual Tower Suite is great. It's a real space. Some constructive criticism: It's a consciously non-hip historical property, but in 2023, I think a Nespresso machine or at least a kettle is a must. In this suite, there shouldn't be random books, but at least a copy of the Constitution and a picture of Adenauer, Heuss and Carlo Schmid. To have the jacuzzi not work and not tell this in advance is so-so. And for a 400+ suite, I would as usual throw the breakfast in... But we really liked the wine selection (and the free carafe in the room); parking is great; and the staff was truly friendly and courteous. There is no elevator; the speed road goes right by between river and house (but that is the Hessian politicians' fault); and there is no pool or gym. But that one knows in advance and it's not a problem. So altogether, a very strong recommendation, especially for that suite. It's a significant, truly charming, almost otherworldly place, and if you like this - and in one of the loveliest regions of Germany - it's just a fantastic place.
