Burg Reichenstein
Considering it's set within an imposing hilltop castle that dates back to the 12th century, the bedrooms in this hotel are surprisingly modern; each one, from the most basic Comfort room up to the signature Gallery suite, is individually decorated and features comfortable beds, flat-screen TVs, and rain showers. Breakfast is served in the attached restaurant, Puricelli, which also provides fresh, seasonal German cuisine every evening (and at lunchtime during summer). The castle museum is well worth a visit for its beautiful period rooms, collections of decorative cast-iron slabs (from ovens and historical room-heating devices), hunting weapons and armor, and paintings—non-hotel guests can also visit for €11 per person.
