4 Best Hotels in Nurnberg (Nuremberg), Franconia and the German Danube

A four-minute walk from the castle, this quaint hotel is small but cozy and the service is familial and friendly. The breakfast room with its balcony overlooking the houses of the Old Town has a charm all its own.

This modern and tasteful hotel is north of the Old Town, between the fortress and St. Sebaldus Church. The hotel has a small wellness center and even some loungers for sunning yourself in the small garden.

Across the square from the central train station, this stately building with the calling card "Grand Hotel" arching over its entranceway has a spacious and imposing lobby with marble pillars, which feels grandiose and welcoming. Since 1896, kings, politicians, and celebrities have soaked up the luxury of large rooms and tubs in marble bathrooms.

An 18th-century bakery has been skillfully converted into this comfortable hotel, which has been managed by the same family for four generations. It's close to the main train station, on a quiet street of the old walled town. The cozy rooms are decorated in rustic Franconian style. Two wood-paneled, traditionally furnished taverns serve Franconian fare, with an excellent fish menu.
