The Best Hotels Near Philipp Soldan, by the Record

Three half-timbered buildings from the 1500s, one of which was a brewery, another a wine shop, share a wall with Frankenberg's ten-towered medieval town hall and have been stitched together into a single luxury hotel. Rooms run from timber-ceilinged suites to four-poster affairs with fireplaces to near-apartment setups with full kitchens. The Michelin Guide awarded it one Key. Breakfast and a private lounge with a fireplace are kept for guests only.

Half-timbered facade, red gabled roof, a still pond throwing the whole picture back at you: this forest hotel sits in a clearing near Kellerwald-Edersee National Park, and you won't stumble onto it by accident. Rooms have parquet floors, antiques, and private balconies; suites add fireplaces and timber beams. Breakfast runs on local honey, eggs, and goat cheese. The sauna house and natural swimming pond mean there's no particular reason to leave.

A timber-fronted estate hotel in the Sauerland hills, where the town itself is famous for air so clean it borders on smug. The spa is expansive, the gardens are plentiful, and the hotel runs both a golf course café and a forest hut with local pilsner on tap, so there's always somewhere to land after a walk. The Michelin Guide awarded it one Key.
