Art­Ho­tel Heidelberg

The Art­Ho­tel is loca­ted in the Old Town of Heidelberg. Directly in front of the hotel’s front door is the oldest uni­ver­sity library in Ger­many, Heidelberg Uni­ver­sity Library. Next to the large sand­stone buil­ding of the library is the Peters­kir­che. At the cross­roads where the hotel is loca­ted, there is a lot going on, espe­ci­ally towards the end of the semes­ters of Heidelberg stu­dents, also because the cafe­te­ria is just around the corner.

In front of the library, there are many bikes and cars and also the bus passes the hotel from the uni­ver­sity square. The Schloss­berg Tunnel, through which many cars find their way every day, ends a few metres above the Art­Ho­tel. But due to the reason that the hotel is not loca­ted right at the adjoi­ning street Fried­rich-Ebert-Anlage, one only some­ti­mes hears a loud motorcycle.

If one is on the Semi­nar­straße that passes the glass front of the hotel, it is even pos­si­ble to get a view of the Heidelberg Castle. Thus, if you plan your stay in the Art­Ho­tel Heidelberg, you are really in the middle of the Old Town and the stu­dent bustle. And also the tou­ristic hustle and bustle in the Haupt­straße is only a few metres away from the hotel. You just walk past the uni­ver­sity library and the uni­ver­sity square and you are part of the hustle and bustle.

Since this Heidelberg hotel is loca­ted near the Fried­rich Ebert Anlage, it is quite easy to reach it by car from the A5. Just take the exit at the Hei­del­ber­ger inter­ch­ange onto the B37 and follow the road to the Berg­hei­mer Straße and you are alre­ady in Heidelberg’s Old Town. The B37 can be quite busy during rush hours, so if pos­si­ble you can try to avoid it. If you come by plane and rent a car, it would be the same way via the A5 from Frankfurt.

The hotel has its own par­king garage for its guests, where you can park your car for a daily fee. If you prefer to use the public par­king faci­li­ties, you will find more pos­si­bi­li­ties nearby. But you can also go on a long search in the streets of the old town and get a free par­king space with a little luck.

If you are tra­vel­ling by public trans­port, it is best to get off at Heidelberg main sta­tion and take bus number 20 to the Peters­kir­che stop or bus number 32 to Uni­ver­si­täts­platz. From there, it is only a few minu­tes’ walk to the hotel, which can even be mana­ged with huge suitcases.

Alt­hough this Heidelberg hotel was only opened in 2006, the first traces of the house date back to the begin­ning of the 13th cen­tury. Since 1700 the history of the house and the pre­vious owners is docu­men­ted. From a sta­tion of the post office in the 18th cen­tury to the occu­pa­tion of the Ame­ri­cans from 1945 to 1955, this house has alre­ady expe­ri­en­ced a lot.

In this 4-star hotel, the phi­lo­so­phy ” qua­lity is a duty, ser­vice is the free­style” rules. It wants to reflect the charms of Heidelberg and offer its guests a space for their ideas. The his­to­ric outer front of the bou­tique-design hotel fits in per­fectly with the charm of the Old Town, while the glass part of the facade stands out artis­ti­cally from the surroundings.

The hotel recep­tion is open during the week from 6 a.m. to 1 a.m. and at weekends from 7 a.m. to 1 a.m. The ear­liest pos­si­ble check-in is at 2 pm and the latest check-out is pos­si­ble until 11 am.

For our dear animal com­pa­n­ions there is a daily fee at the ArtHotel.

By sub­scrib­ing to a news­let­ter, you can always stay up to date and, for exam­ple, become aware of offers early on. In addi­tion to offers such as a winter weekend or 2 nights at the Heidelberg Castle Light­ing there are also vou­ch­ers for the restau­rant or over­night stays for sale.

The break­fast table is set from 6:30 to 10:30 a.m. and is pre­pared for the guests in form of a buffet. If you did not book break­fast, you can have break­fast at the hotel for a few euros. Child­ren pay less, of course.

There is no shortage of con­fe­rence rooms at the hotel. With a total of six con­fe­rence rooms, the Art­Ho­tel offers a large sel­ec­tion. Many of these rooms can also be booked in com­bi­na­tion, so that really every guest gets a seat and nobody has to stand for the whole time. The rooms are equip­ped with beau­tiful oak par­quet flo­o­ring, air-con­di­tio­ned and have net­work cabling and Wi-Fi access in all areas. The room “Atrium 3” even has its own elec­tric screen, which is per­fect for show­ing for exam­ple a Power­Point or slide­show. The indi­vi­dual rooms vary in size and can accom­mo­date up to 220 guests. With the right tech­no­logy and pre­sen­ta­tion, not­hing should stand in the way of a con­fe­rence here.

If you reach Heidelberg before the check-in times, you can also leave your lug­gage at the hotel so that you can set off and explore Heidelberg imme­dia­tely after your arri­val. Like­wise, after you have che­cked out of your room, you can leave your lug­gage at the hotel if you want to enjoy a last view of Heidelberg from the Castle.

If you are depen­dent on bar­rier-free access, you will unfort­u­na­tely have a rather dif­fi­cult time in this Heidelberg hotel.

If you are tra­vel­ling with child­ren, the hotel will pro­vide extra beds or baby cribs for a few euros, alt­hough there is only one baby crib available. That means, whoe­ver comes first, grinds first. Howe­ver, child­ren are also allo­wed to sleep in their par­ents’ bed until they are six years old.

If the plan for your own wed­ding is alre­ady in place, but the loca­tion is still miss­ing, you might find your dream loca­tion in the Art­Ho­tel. But if you are just start­ing to plan your wed­ding, you may even find the wed­ding plan­ner here in addi­tion to the loca­tion. The Art­Ho­tel offers the pos­si­bi­lity to make the wed­ding day unfor­gettable through its own cont­act person in the hotel. Accor­ding to their motto “Qua­lity is a duty, ser­vice is the free­style”, the hotel can adjust indi­vi­du­ally to the wed­ding couple through its own cont­act person.

Whe­ther an ape­ri­tif on the roof garden, coffee and cake in the Romer Restau­rant or in the Romers Hof, the hotel offers a variety of rooms for the wed­ding guests. You will also be assis­ted by an advi­sor of the hotel in the choice of food and you and your part­ner can choose bet­ween menus and buf­fets. The hotel will also follow your own food wishes.

With 24 double or single rooms, this Heidelberg hotel is pro­ba­bly not one of the big hotels and is the­r­e­fore a little more fami­liar. Some of these rooms are also sui­ta­ble as 3- or 4-bed rooms.

All rooms have access to free WLAN, air con­di­tio­ning, an LED TV with DVD player, a desk, addi­tio­nal sea­ting, a tele­phone, a safe and a bath­room with a shower and a bath­tub. All rooms have a floor of beau­tiful oak par­quet and are acces­si­ble by lift.

Despite the rela­tively small number of rooms, the Art­Ho­tel has three room cate­go­ries bes­i­des the Erker­zim­mer. The rooms are all fur­nis­hed in a modern way and do jus­tice to the style of the hotel.

The Erker­zim­mer is the lar­gest room of the hotel and is kept in loft style. It even has its own sea­ting area next to the various living areas. So you can make yours­elf really com­for­ta­ble there.

All rooms in the Art­Ho­tel are also allergy-friendly.

In addi­tion to its own restau­rant, this Heidelberg hotel also offers its own lounge, roof garden, vaul­ted cellar and cour­ty­ard for gas­tro­no­mic use.

Espe­ci­ally the large roof garden and the vaul­ted cellar are very sui­ta­ble for events such as a wed­ding in summer on the roof of the Art Hotel.

In the Restau­rant Romer all dishes of the day are served. In the à la carte restau­rant you can choose bet­ween culinary, sea­so­nal, regio­nal and espe­ci­ally fresh food.

If you are so tired after your sight­see­ing tour and need a coffee, you can get one in the Romer Lounge of the hotel. Even night owls, who want a cock­tail after dinner or before a party, will find what they are loo­king for here.

In the summer time, the hotel opens the Romers Hof. There, one can com­for­ta­bly eat, drink and enjoy a hop­efully beau­tiful summer day under the open sky and bet­ween the half-tim­be­red houses and the glass facade.

The Heidelberg Art­Ho­tel con­vin­ces above all through its loca­tion and the com­bi­na­tion of the design of modern glass facade and the his­to­ri­cal old building.
