The Top 19 Hotels Near Schwanen
-
Every room in this boutique Stuttgart hotel has its own theme, and the range is genuinely wide: animal prints and copper soaking tubs in one, inflatable metallic furniture and an Xbox beside a fireplace in another. Philippe Starck-designed showers come standard, Sonos throughout, and many rooms open onto private patios. A ground-floor café handles breakfast, and a Michelin-starred restaurant shares the name. Sitting in the city's cultural Mitte district.
-
A five-room guesthouse in a 19th-century Heusteigviertel townhouse, Das Edith has the feel of staying with a friend who has very good taste and owns too many interesting objects. Vintage pieces and collected art fill rooms that don't match each other, which is the point. Breakfast is baked bread and strong coffee at a communal table. Outside, the neighborhood delivers cafés, galleries, and small shops within easy walking distance.

The curving brick facade and rounded bay windows are doing a lot of work on this block, and the interior follows through: a contemporary business hotel with clean-lined rooms that stop well short of boutique-hotel theater. Stuttgart runs on Porsche, Daimler, and assorted engineering genius, and Le Méridien quietly caters to that crowd. Le Spa handles the decompression when the meetings finally end.

-
A former brewery and cinema, folded into a boutique hotel by a pair of young proprietors who clearly had opinions about what a spa-town guesthouse should feel like. The rooms run minimalist with enough color to keep things from feeling like a mood board, and each is subtly different from the next. On-site you get two restaurants and a beer bar, which is more than most places doing the clean-lines aesthetic bother to offer.
-
A medieval castle perched in the Swabian Alps, converted into a luxury hotel with the kind of infinity pool view that makes you feel like you've annexed the valley. Stone and native wood run through the rooms, suites have sloped ceilings and soaking tubs, and the wellness center adds Roman baths, an ice grotto, and a log-cabin sauna. In winter, staff lead torchlit night hikes followed by mulled wine, which is either very romantic or very Grimm.

Blond wood paneling and red fabric give the main chalet that classic mountain-lodge look, but the rooms inside run firmly contemporary, and the two freestanding guest chalets manage to be rustic in appearance while remaining quite plush underfoot. The hotel holds a Michelin Key, and the attached restaurant has built a following around its take on Swabian Jura cooking. It sits in Königsbronn, which is not a name most travelers have circled on a map, but that seems to be part of the appeal.

A modernist hotel sitting on the edge of a natural lake inside Ulm's largest city park, LAGO's clean lines and open spaces trace back to the Ulm School of Design, whose students had a hand in the plans. Rooms are minimal, full of natural light, and fitted with hardwood floors and floor-to-ceiling windows, many of them looking straight out at the water. Breakfast moves to an open-air deck when the weather cooperates.
