The Best Hotel in Bamberg, Franconia and the German Danube

Willy Messerschmitt (of fighter aircraft fame) grew up in this beautiful late-baroque house, and today its steep-eave, green-shuttered, stucco exterior gives way to a hotel filled with luxuriously spacious rooms. Guests can opt for everything from singles through the quadruples; if in doubt, choose the two-level suite. The excellent regional breakfast buffet is served in the on-site restaurant, while lunch can be enjoyed in the attached café-wine shop.
