The Best Hotels in Trier

A hotel that simply refused to pick a side: half the rooms go full design-hotel with stark blacks, hardwood floors, and clean-lined furniture, while the Weinhaus wing offers wood-furnished coziness and balconies over the vineyards. The kitchen runs two tracks to match. Guests in Riesling country tend to end up at the wine cellar regardless, and Becker's pours its own Pinots and Rieslings with several vineyards a short cycle away.

Fourteen suites, each wearing a single bold accent color against otherwise blond-on-white minimalist interiors, make up this small, calm hotel in Trier's historic center. It's the work of a chef who opened a restaurant here first, then added rooms, which gives the place an unusually personal feel. The Moselle winds nearby, and the surrounding valley is deep in vineyard country, so there's always a reason to wander.
