The Best Hotels Near Romantik Hotel Zum Klosterbräu, by the Record
-
-
A hotel in the middle of a small Bavarian city that somehow looks like it was designed in Stockholm and furnished in Milan. The Altmühltal Nature Park is right outside for hiking types, and the restaurant, Staderer, faces the old town and the river if you'd rather eat your way through the view. Bavarian warmth keeps everything grounded, even when the interiors are doing their best to forget which country they're in.

The private brewery has been running longer than most countries have existed, and the hotel leans into that heritage with low beams, warm wood, and the general feeling that someone's grandmother designed every room. Bräustüberl serves slow-food cooking built around local produce alongside house-brewed beer. A spa with a heated infinity pool and Finnish sauna rounds out this old-school Bavarian inn in Lengenfeld, selected by the Michelin Guide.

Helmut Jahn designed this airport hotel in the 1990s, and the building still turns heads, which is more than you can say for most places you sleep between connections. It sits between terminals 1 and 2, so the captive-audience math is obvious, yet the rooms lean into Alpine style with some conviction and a spa is on hand for anyone arriving from a long-haul flight in a terrible mood. Two Bavarian restaurants cover both moods: quiet and formal, or loud and fed.

An attic-level infinity pool peering over a medieval cathedral through the hotel's original gabled roof is a strong opening argument for a place to stay. This boutique hotel in one of Germany's most preserved medieval towns has been thoroughly modernized, the old half-timbering and romantic staircase kept intact while rooms went open-plan with pale parquet and dark beams. Some suites add a lofted sleeping area and a hanging swing sofa, because why not.

Some suites let you park your car in a glass-walled garage beside your bed, which should give you a fair sense of what this luxury boutique hotel is about. It sits inside a former railway repair shop now home to Munich's Motorworld complex, all museum exhibits and specialty workshops. The Bauhaus-to-Seventies design keeps things tasteful despite the racing influence, and there's a spa for when you need a treatment too.

The rooftop infinity pool sits under a geometric skylight, which is a perfectly reasonable amenity to stumble across in a minimalist Nuremberg neighborhood hotel. Rooms have concrete walls, parquet floors, and locally made bath products; the suites add private balconies and freestanding tubs. Downstairs, a French brasserie, an all-day café, an ice cream bar, and a Michelin-starred restaurant share the ground floor without any apparent jostling.
