Heidelberg Suites - Heidelberg, Germany
About this Chic Retreat
Heidelberg Suites is a new boutique hotel in Heidelberg, the only small luxury hotel in this romantic castle city. Located in the Upper Rhine Valley, this historic town has a warm climate, and guests can enjoy views over the rolling hills, Heidelberg Castle and the labyrinthine old town as well as a waterside location by the Neckar river. The interiors of this 19th-century villa have been created by the world-renowned architect, Michele Bonan, the Italian designer of the JK Place hotels in Capri & Florence, who took inspiration from the German romanticism and classicism that characterises the city. The pretty landscaped garden, halls and suites are decorated with statuettes and well-chosen artwork, while Bonan's bespoke furniture is even available for you to buy. Guests can fully appreciate the peaceful surroundings from the rooftop terrace and the pretty gardens and unwind in the small & private wellness area. Enjoy as much or as little independence as you wish, with a fully-furnished kitchen in each suite for those who prefer self-catering as well as the option of full service from the hotel.
Accommodation
There are 25 spacious suites at Heidelberg Suites. All of the suites afford views over Heidelberg Castle and the old town with large windows allowing natural light to pour in on the classic interiors which are designed with a neutral palette of powder blues, slate greys, whites and creams. Each suite has 2 rooms, a fully-equipped pantry kitchen and a spacious en-suite bathroom with either a bathtub or shower, while some of the Superior Suites have private balconies or terraces where you can enjoy a peaceful breakfast. Classic in style, these rooms also have great modern amenities including flat screen TVs with Satellite, iPod/MP3 docking stations, complimentary WiFi, La Bottega bath products, towels, bathrobes & slippers and espresso machines. For groups or families, ask for a room with connecting doors or fold-up bed. The Superior Suites can accommodate up to 2 children on the sofa bed. The Penthouse Suite is the cream of the crop, a generous 70 sqm with a large rooftop terrace and private outdoor Jacuzzi.
Activities
The historic town of Heidelberg attracted many of Germany's famous philosophers, painters and poets famed in the era of German Romanticism, from Goethe and Hugo to von Eichendorff, and once you arrive, you can see why it was so inspirational. Take a walk along the majestic Neckar river, the baroque Old Town with its bustling market place, the Renaissance Ottheinrichsbau and the ruins of the Heidelberg Castle to experience Germany at its most spectacular. An old university town, the city offers a rich tapestry of tradition and youthful vitality with a fabulous café culture. Your hosts have a great selection of city guides who offer tailor-made tours of the city which can be enjoyed in their comfortable golf-cart or in a limousine or rent an in-house bike and set off on your own exploration. A great way to discover the area is by helicopter with a flight over the Bavarian Forest of Odes or the Mittelrheintal, or in spring & autumn, take a boat tour through the Neckar valley. The adventurous among you might like to try paragliding or a tandem parachute jump from a base around 45 minutes from the city, or you could even try indoor skydiving in a wind tunnel! For those who like to stay on terra firma, there are some great golf courses nearby including the St. Leon-Rot course with which Heidelberg Suites offer special packages, tennis courts 3 km away or take a relaxing break in the spa area which has a sauna, steam room and small gym.
Dining
A buffet breakfast is served in the lounge with fresh fruit & delicious pastries included. There is a small room service menu available while your hosts will be happy to recommend some of the fine local restaurants. The "Heidelberg Suites Patria" is due to be launched in the next couple of months; this traditional 1930s boat is anchored just across from the hotel and will have an intimate restaurant, café, and in the evenings, a bar, all designed by M. Bonan in the style of Heidelberg Suites. The boat can also be rented for events, weddings or meetings including a trip along the Neckar river.
