125 years of heartfelt hospitality
Hotel Adler Asperg
In the heart of charming Asperg, at the foot of the Hohenasperg and just three kilometers from the baroque city of Ludwigsburg, lies Hotel Adler Asperg – a refined family-run hotel that has been in the hands of the Ottenbacher family for over 125 years. What once began as a modest inn has grown into a 4-star superior hotel with international appeal, without ever losing its warm soul. With 70 stylishly decorated rooms and suites – including unique themed rooms dedicated to Swabian icons such as Bosch, Daimler, and Porsche – Adler Asperg offers a haven for those seeking tranquility, gourmet delights, or a business-friendly setting. Every room exudes comfort and quality, with an eye for detail and an ambiance that feels both classic and contemporary. What truly sets this hotel apart is its personal hospitality. Here, you’re not simply checked in – you’re welcomed as an old friend. The Ottenbacher family and their team know many of their guests by name – some have been returning for decades. Thanks to its central location, Adler Asperg is the perfect base for cultural explorations, nature experiences, and business encounters.
The beating heart of fine dining in Asperg
Restaurant Schwabenstube
In a charming half-timbered house that has reflected the soul of Asperg for over 170 years, you’ll find the Schwabenstube – a restaurant where gastronomy is elevated to an art form. Here, chef Moritz Feichtinger cooks at the highest level, blending classical French techniques with Swabian flavors and seasonal regional produce. The Schwabenstube has been listed in the Michelin Guide for decades and has been awarded a Michelin star, 2 toques from Gault&Millau, and 2 Fs from Feinschmecker – an impressive recognition that is reflected in every dish. Guests can choose from carefully curated tasting menus, including an exquisite vegan option, or enjoy à la carte dishes that are both elegant and soul-warming. The interior – a stylish blend of heritage and modern design – offers the perfect setting for an evening where everything comes together: the flavors, the wines, the refined service. Each dish is a new chapter in a story you get to taste.
Spanish flair in the heart of Swabia
Tapas Bar Aguila
For those longing for the sun, there’s no need to travel far at Hotel Adler Asperg. In tapas bar Aguila, you’ll taste the essence of Spain, served in a contemporary setting with a relaxed atmosphere. Chef Paul Meichsner prepares authentic tapas and Mediterranean classics that transport you to sun-drenched squares and long summer evenings. What makes Aguila special is the balance between style and spontaneity. Whether you’re in the mood for an intimate dinner, a lively night out, or a spontaneous glass of wine at the bar – this is the place. The carefully selected Spanish and regional wines, handcrafted cocktails, and refined whiskies complete the experience. In summer, the terrace and beer garden are the perfect spots to watch the sun set over Asperg, with views of the Hohenasperg. Aguila has been awarded 1 F by Feinschmecker and recognized by the Spanish ICEX as one of the best Spanish restaurants in Germany – a special honor for this place where Southern European joie de vivre meets Swabian hospitality.
Regional dishes with a view
Schubart Stube
High atop the Hohenasperg, in the gate tower of the centuries-old fortress above Ludwigsburg, lies one of the region’s best-kept secrets: the Schubart Stube. This rustic restaurant radiates Swabian character and serves honest cuisine full of regional classics – just the way they’re meant to be: with flavor, history, and heart. Dishes such as tender Zwiebelrostbraten, Maultaschen with gravy, or a traditional beef roulade with Lemberger sauce are served here with local wines and a no-nonsense smile. Even the little ones are warmly welcomed – with a playful twist on the children’s menu. The Schubart Stube is the perfect stop during a hike on the Hohenasperg or a day trip around Ludwigsburg. In the summer months, the beer garden beckons, where a refreshing drink in hand is paired with panoramic views of the surrounding hills.
The treasure chamber of the house
Wijnkelder
Hidden beneath the historic half-timbered house lies a place just as remarkable as the hotel itself: the old wine cellar of Hotel Adler Asperg, dating back to 1850. This vaulted space is steeped in family history and holds one of the most impressive wine collections in Germany. For generations, the Ottenbacher family has personally visited vineyards at home and abroad to select only the most refined wines – with an eye for flavor, character, and harmony. The focus lies on regional top wines from Baden and Württemberg, but carefully chosen cuvées from France, Italy, and Spain also grace the thoughtfully curated wine list. In the restaurants, expert sommeliers are happy to recommend a wine that complements not only the dish but the moment. For those wishing to dive deeper into this world, the hotel hosts exclusive wine tastings in the intimate ambiance of the historic cellar.
