Hotel Kronenschlösschen (Eltville, Germany)

About Kronenschlösschen

Fairy‐tale accommodation and fantastic wines On the banks of the famous river Rhine and yet almost hidden in between lush vineyards, Hotel Kronenschlösschen is a true insider tip. The enchanting flair of the historic building and the excellently stocked wine cellar make this a wonderful holiday destination. Hotel Kronenschlösschen instantly entices with its remarkable building and idyllic private park. Its view of the mythical Rhine, which meanders gently through the green valley, invites long walks, taking time off and regaining energy. Built in 1884, the beautiful mansion was the setting for an important chapter of German post-­‐war history. It was here in 1947, in the hotel's tower suite, that Germany’s first chancellor, Konrad Adenauer, discussed the new German constitution with Theodor Heuss and Carlo Schmidt. Responsible for today’s success is hotel owner, who explains his priority to preserve the historic character: “The hotel was in a very bad condition back in 1990 and it would have been easier to demolish it. It took two years to completely renovate it but it was worth it. The result is a wonderful little country hotel, a so-­called boutique hotel.”
