3 Best Hotels in Franconia and the German Danube, Germany

One of the region's oldest accommodation options, this simple but pleasant inn with modern rooms and a popular summer beer garden is in a small village about 5 km (3 miles) southeast of Coburg. The interior has simple wooden paneling and floors. The beer garden is the best place to enjoy traditional Franconian dishes, or a plate of homemade sausages, and meet some of the locals. Rooms are well-appointed and comfortable—the wooden theme is continued, but the style is definitely modern.

In the heart of Coburg, this fine, historical property dates from 1756, though there has been a hotel on this site since 1586. After a day of sightseeing, relax in the sauna complex with solarium or with one of the vintages from the small wine boutique just opposite the reception.

The "White Rabbit" began accommodating travelers in the early 16th century. Recently purchased and renovated by the Premiere Inn chain, all of the rooms are decorated in a subdued modern style.
