If you ever wondered how it felt to live like a royal, then step in to the Schlosshotel Kronberg and soak up the regal, majestic atmosphere within the hotel walls and grounds. With a magnificent staircase climbing through the grandiose hall, guests can delight in the stained glass displaying the coats of arms of the Empress Victoria and all her family. Beautiful open fireplaces, Venetian in style, create a warm and inviting ambience throughout the hotel. For those looking to escape and curl up by a fire with a book, Schlosshotel Kronberg boasts a wonderful authentic library, housing a superb collection of books.

The hotel is home to a wealth of historic antiques, which the Emperor and Empress collected; including paintings by the likes of Frans Hals, Rubens, Titian and Gainsborough and treasures that include Limoges porcelain, gilded Venetian mirrors and antique ivory and bronzes. Expect to see drinking vessels decorated with semi-precious stones, jewels, clocks and watches and a large display of coins and medals.

After a day out visiting the quaint town, shopping or sightseeing, guests can enjoy an English afternoon tea in the stunning reception room, or outside on the hotel’s terrace, where guests can overlook the park and estate with its integrated 18-hole golf course, established in the 1950’s.

Dining takes place in the chandelier-lit restaurant, boasting a large open fireplace, high ceilings and a view over the picturesque gardens. Chef Oliver Preding and Maître d’hôtel, Arnaud Juillot, serve classic cuisine with modern influences. A distinguished wine list complements the menu, as the restaurant also features excellent homegrown wines produced by its own wine estate PRINZ VON HESSEN. Alternatively, guests can visit the traditional Jimmy’s Bar, which offers a wide selection of whiskies and cigars to enjoy whilst listening to live piano accompaniments.
