We've compiled the best of the best in Fulda - browse our top choices for the top things to see or do during your stay.
An institution in Fulda for more than 100 years, the Goldener Karpfen has remained family owned and run, with an elegant disposition and engaging hosts that have brought singers, actors, and archbishops through its doors. A couple of other points in the hotel's favor are its Hollywood-themed rooms with diner-style furniture and checkered tiles, and the high quality of the German food and wines on offer in its restaurant, which is open daily.
Centrally located but tucked away on a side alley, this charming hotel and restaurant has quiet, comfortable rooms and very friendly staff, making it a great base for city exploring or for business travelers. The house restaurant features typical German cuisine with no fanfare; dishes include Spätzle alongside a sausage salad.
At the luxurious showpiece of the Maritim chain, guests can breakfast beneath frescoed ceilings and enormous chandeliers in a stunning 18th-century orangery overlooking Fulda Palace Park. Guest rooms housed in a modern wing with a large central atrium are standard for the chain; the hotel's Dianakeller restaurant is inside an impressive cavern of centuries-old vaulted arches. Based on location alone, this is the best place to stay in Fulda.
