This bright and modern recent addition close to historic downtown Würzburg offers numerous amenities, including a gym and perks as part of the international Marriott chain. Thoughtful service and a modern vibe make it popular with business guests during the week. Pets and service animals are welcome, and there is both a restaurant and a lobby bar.
This hotel's rococo facade has welcomed guests since 1408—which also is the name of the hotel restaurant—but only recently a part of the Best Western chain for bookings and other perks. Rooms are all individually decorated and furnished in an English country-house style. The spacious lobby, with an open fireplace and beckoning bar, sets the tone, and there's an attractive winter garden where you can enjoy a cup of coffee.
The modern Greifensteiner offers comfortable, individually furnished rooms in a quiet corner of the city, just off the market square. The Fränkische Stuben has excellent cuisine with mostly Franconian specialties; various meal plans are available with room reservations. There's also a bar in the basement wine cellar, dating from the 1300s, that's an ideal place to sample local varieties.
Set atop vineyards and overlooking the towers of Würzburg, the Schloss Steinburg offers regal manor rooms as well as crisp and serene modern lodgings. The castle was first built in 1898 over the ruins of a medieval monastery; the Bezold family have expanded upon it over the last 75 years. The oldest rooms have many original details intact while the newer rooms are closer to the hotel's spa, which has panoramic views of the old city. The restaurant serves regional as well as more pan-European dishes.
