Welcome to the Premium Partner Hotels of the Castle Road
he Castle Road connects more than 90 castles and palaces on the
way from Mannheim to Prague. “Experience a journey back in
time” is the invitation offered by the holiday route which is about
1,200 km long and leads through internationally known destinations
as Heidelberg, Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Nuremberg, Bamberg and Bayreuth.
During their journey on the Castle Road, guests are in exceptionally good hands at
the “Premium Partner Hotels”. The hotel network provides a clear alternative to
the mad rush and capriciousness of everyday life and combines your trip into the
past very well with modern day amenities. Their top
priority is a pleasurable and close attention to the
needs of each guest.

In their restaurants, the Castle Road Premium Partner
Hotels celebrate a fine regional cuisine, newly and light-
ly interpreted. The ingredients are fresh, in their natural
state and as far as possible from the region. It is not
without reason that creativity and quality in the cuisine
are rewarded time and time again with awards.
Restaurant Abenberg Castle
The wellness areas, which are
offered by some Premium
Partner Hotels, are there to
leave everyday life behind and to
bring body, mind and soul into
harmony. The possibilities to
enjoy pure relaxation range from
a whirlpool through different
Ringhotel Hohenlohe Schwäbisch Hall saunas to a salt grotto.
Last but not least, the 17 Castle Road Premium Partner Hotels represent the Castle
Road philosophy, which means an eye for detail and commitment to leisurely travel.
We are looking forward to your visit!
