Romantik Hotel zur Glocke
With roots dating to the 12th century, this elegant hotel is conveniently located about three minutes' walk from the Porta Nigra. Even the modest rooms are tastefully decorated in subtle earth tones and boast box-spring beds—but if you really feel like splashing out, the beautiful Glockensuite (Bell Tower Suite) features half-timber interior walls and exposed wood rafters. Some of the junior suites also have a view of Trierer Dom, as well as walk-in closets and free-standing tubs for a relaxing soak after a day on the town. The historic restaurant, which has been serving hungry locals since 1803, serves hearty German classics, while the vaulted cellar is an ideal after-dinner stop for a glass of wine.
