Our favourite rooms
The individually styled rooms at Heidelberg Suites harmonise contemporary furnishings with pride in Heidelberg’s heritage. The Deluxe Garden Suites look out to verdant scenery that was said to have inspired works by Goethe and Schiller; the boldly hued Master Balcony Suites have equally impressive panoramas over the Neckar. Our favourite vista is admired from the Sky Signature Suite, which has a contemporary glass extension that opens onto a view-gazing rooftop terrace.
Spa
The small spa area is available for individual use; book in advance to have the sauna and steam room all to yourself. Massages with external therapists can be arranged on request, and the relaxation area means there’s no need to rush back to your room.
Packing tips
The city is known for its illustrious university, so bring a bookish attitude and a thirst for knowledge.
Also
The floor-to-ceiling windows of the fitness pavilion overlook the riverbanks and the views might just distract you from your high-octane workout. You’ll find Technogym kit, and on request personal trainers and garden yoga can be organised.
