Beschreibung
Welcome to Heidelberg!
We are delighted to welcome you to the Europäischer Hof!
In 1865, Heidelberg witnessed a small sensation. After just two years of construction, the Hôtel de l’Europe opened its doors, astonishing both locals and visitors from afar with its high-quality furnishings and unprecedented comfort—at a time when guests still arrived by horse-drawn carriage.
“We love what we do” is the guiding motto that runs through every area of this traditional hotel, ever since Ernst-Friedrich and Sylvia von Kretschmann took over the management of the house in 1965, a role they now share with their daughter, Dr. Caroline von Kretschmann. The hotel is now in its fourth generation of family ownership, which may be why it is so highly appreciated by guests for its private and familial atmosphere.
Our 92 single and double rooms, 16 junior suites, 3 executive suites, 5 serviced apartments, and the penthouse suite are individually designed and furnished, all meeting the highest standards. Many of our newly renovated rooms feature elegant parquet flooring paired with luxurious fabrics. Here, timeless elegance meets modern comforts, making guests feel right at home.
The penthouse suite, with 200 square metres of space and a view of Heidelberg Castle, offers a truly unique living experience. With two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a private kitchen, it exudes stylish luxury. The terrace, overlooking the Odenwald, provides a peaceful spot to enjoy the sun over Heidelberg in complete tranquillity.
Just a year after the hotel’s spectacular opening, in 1866, the Kurfürstenstube restaurant opened in the new Hôtel de l’Europe. Since then, it has been renowned among connoisseurs for its excellent cuisine and outstanding service.
The wood-panelled ceilings and walls, featuring intricate inlays, have largely been preserved in their original condition. Brass chandeliers and original copper engravings depicting Heidelberg’s history contribute to the restaurant’s unique ambiance.
The hotel offers the perfect setting for high-level events. Ten individually designed rooms, covering a total area of 1,000 square metres, provide the ideal space for any occasion, whether it be a private family celebration or wedding, or a business event like a conference or presentation. Our event team offers professional and personal support, helping to develop ideas with our guests.
For relaxation, our guests can visit the PANORAMA SPA. Located high above the rooftops of Heidelberg, this wellness oasis features a sauna, sanarium, steam bath, swimming pool, sun terrace, and state-of-the-art fitness equipment, all with a view of the world-famous Heidelberg Castle.
Whatever your reason for visiting Heidelberg, we are very much looking forward to welcoming you to the city’s most historic and exclusive 5-star superior hotel.
Yours sincerely,
The von Kretschmann Family
