The Hotel
The historic town house was built in the year 1592 by the cloth merchant Carolus (Charles) Belier and served as an inn already 300 years ago.

So if you are interested in the history of the Renaissance, the Hotel Zum Ritter is the right place for you. The reception of the hotel is open for you during the week and around the clock on weekends. You can check in at the earliest from 2 pm and you must check out by 11 am on your departure day at the latest.

ArtHotel Heidelberg
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 meters 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.
Europäischer Hof Heidelberg
The volume of the road should not be a problem inside the hotel. By turning into the forecourt, the hotel is arranged like an own little bay around the court. Thus, there are barely any windows that point straight to the street. Already in the lobby, despite the glass doors, one barely hears anything of the hustle and bustle that takes place in front of the entrance.
Heidelberg Suites
Luxury boutique hotel directly across from the Old Bridge with a panoramic view of Heidelberg Castle. Member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, offering both classic hotel rooms and furnished long-stay suites.
