Welcome
Hotel Darmstadt

Darmstadt, chartered as a city by Holy Roman Emperor Ludwig the Bavarian in 1330, was once the residence of the Count of Katzenelnbogen. Initially known as Darmstait, it featured a modest castle, later replaced by a grander structure. Today, Darmstadt proudly bears the title "City of Science," reflecting its status as a hub for scientific research, universities, and high-tech industries. This designation, granted in 1997 by the Hessian Ministry of the Interior, highlights the city's national and international significance in science.

Our hotel is situated next to the Congress Centre and University, providing easy access to UNESCO cultural heritage sites. We welcome city visitors, weekend travellers, and business guests to our prime inner-city location. From Karolinenplatz, you can easily explore the State Archive, Residence Castle, and Hessian Museum. Iconic sights such as the World Heritage Mathildenhöhe with the Wedding Tower and Russian Chapel, Rosenhöhe Park, and the Hundertwasser-designed Waldspirale are also within easy reach.


With stylishly furnished rooms, a tranquil wellness area, and versatile spaces for conferences and events, our hotel is designed to cater to every guest's needs. After a day of exploring the sights, unwind in our wellness area or enjoy a meal at our restaurant, with the option of alfresco dining on warmer evenings. No matter the purpose of your visit, our hotel ensures a comfortable and memorable stay.

The Steinbrückerteich leisure centre is a great place to try rowing, mini-golf, or even pony rides. For something a bit different, why not join one of the daily Segway tours?
