Hotel Fürstenhof

From: Leipzig, Germany

Hotel Fuerstenhof Leipzig

ABOVE: The Hotel Fürstenhof is the cream-and-white building on the left.

The Hotel Fürstenhof is a member of Marriott's Luxury Collection, which includes such properties as the Danieli and Gritti Palace in Venice, the Bristol in Vienna, the Goldener Hirsch in Salzburg, and Weimar's Hotel Elephant. It occupies a large 18th Century banker's mansion on the Tröndlinring, a few blocks west of the main railroad station and the tourist office on the edge of the downtown sightseeing, shopping, and museum district.

Because the building is historic, rooms vary considerably: During my stay, I had a smallish top-floor room with a large bathroom, while a colleague had a large room with a small bath.

Prices of the 92 rooms and suites also vary, although they're reasonable by German luxury-hotel standards.

Hotel Fuerstenhof breakfast buffetThe Hotel Fürstenhof has several restaurants and bars, including the Restaurant Villers (dinner only, with an extensive wine list) and the Vinothek 1770 (wine bar with antipasti and other snacks). The hotel also serves a generous (though pricey) buffet breakfast.

Other amenities include a spa with pool and an extra-cost parking garage around the corner.

  • Tip: If you have the opportunity to choose between a courtyard room and a room facing the street, go for the courtyard: Your room will be quieter, and you'll see the back of a church instead of a busy ring road.
