Castle Hotels: Sleeping in History

Germany has over 20,000 castles, and hundreds have been converted to hotels. Burg Colmberg in Franconia offers medieval walls with modern comfort; Schloss Elmau near Garmisch combines castle glamour with world-class spa; Schloss Cecilienhof in Potsdam is where the Allies divided post-war Europe. The Rhine and Moselle valleys concentrate options. Book directly for best rates; request rooms in original buildings rather than extensions.
