Accommodation in Rothenburg ob der Tauber

Rothenburg ob der Tauber: das Mittelalter, das stehen blieb

Rothenburg ob der Tauber is the town you know from calendars and film sets before you ever set foot in it: the Plönlein with its crooked half-timbered house, the walkable town wall, the market square with the Meistertrunk clock. Stay after the last coach leaves and you'll have the lanes in evening light almost to yourself – the real luxury of this town.

Guests sleep in houses with history: Herrnschlösschen resides in a patrician building with a Baroque garden, Burg-Hotel leans directly against the town wall, Goldenes Fass and Gasthof Rödertor carry on the tavern tradition, and Hotel & Restaurant Reichsküchenmeister wears the Middle Ages in its name. It stays familial in houses like Gasthof Butz and Gasthaus Tauberstube.

After the wall walk, the Tauber valley hikes, the Christmas Museum and, at night, the watchman with halberd and lantern are waiting. Book directly with the host and the stay remains commission-free – including the tip on which hour the Plönlein manages entirely without tripods.
