FAMILY TRADITION SINCE 1894 ON THE RHINE
Hotel Kronenschlösschen
In the romantic village of Hattenheim, one of the most beautiful villages in the Rheingau, Hotel Kronenschlösschen is nestled in a private park just a few meters from the Rhine. Since 1894, this family-run hotel has combined hospitality with a passion for culinary excellence and wine. Hans-B. Ullrich and his daughter Johanna Ullrich, together with Head Sommelier Florian Richter and Chef Marcus Langer, lead this 4-star boutique hotel. The hotel features 29 rooms and suites, each uniquely and lovingly appointed. The 18 rooms in the main building exude character: among antique tile stoves, stucco decorations, and precious antiques, you'll also find contemporary art. All rooms feature elegant marble bathrooms and luxury Treca beds. The Tower Suite has a special history: here, Konrad Adenauer, Theodor Heuss, and Carlo Schmidt spent several weeks drafting the German Constitution after the war. In the guest house across the way, 11 modern rooms with oak floors and natural stone bathrooms offer the highest level of comfort. Hattenheim itself is a gem with half-timbered houses, old streets and alleyways, the historic castle, and the baroque St. Vincentius Church. Kronenschlösschen is located just 30 minutes from Frankfurt. Here you'll find tranquility, refinement, and pure indulgence.
