A very fancy, up market hotel perched on the hill above Wurzburg amongst the vineyards. An old castle with add-ons of various ages, it was obviously trying to be a destination hotel given the quality of the restaurant, and mostly succeeded. 8/10.
The hotel itself was very nice, with sympathetic new building and decoration amongst some obviously very old part of the building. Good facilities too, with a pool and sauna area.
The room we booked appeared to unwittingly be their best one, with a view over the city from a balcony in the old castle section above the restaurant, though the plumbing could have been better as the flow of water out of the shower was slow and temperature fluctuated far too much for comfort or safety!
Food was the highlight though, with dinner being a choice between 3, 4, 5 or 6 courses picking from a menu that you could literally mix and match in any order – you could have 4 starters, or begin with dessert and work back. Being British we had 3 courses in the correct order, of course. Breakfast was equally good.
We’d definitely recommend this one to anyone wanting a posh hotel with good food, just be prepared for the bill on departure!
