2 Best Hotels in Heidelberg, Heidelberg and the Neckar Valley

This upscale European chain is known for value and convenient locations; this hotel in a quiet residential area offers ample parking, making it a good choice for both business and leisure travelers.  Décor is contemporary and comfortable, with bright colors instead of the muted tones in most hotels, and there's a full-service restaurant serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well as a bar, sauna, and gym. If you're driving, there's easy access to the A5 highway. Pets are welcome for an additional per-day charge.

The glass-covered entrance hall of this primarily business hotel is spacious—not surprising, as it was the courtyard of a former brewery. You can dine at one of three on-site restaurants (which are open daily for lunch and dinner), including the Bräustüberl, which specializes in regional German fare. Rooms are colorful and cozy, some have terraces, and you can get good room rates in summer, especially in August.
