Welcome Hotel
Marburg
Marburg, located just north of Frankfurt, is a town rich in history and cultural heritage. It is home to Philipps University, established in 1527, making it one of Germany’s oldest universities. The Altstadt, or old town, captivates visitors with its picturesque Fachwerk (half-timbered) houses and the hilltop Landgrafenschloss, a castle that now houses exhibits on sacred art and regional history. The vibrant Marktplatz square, surrounded by narrow, winding streets, is lined with quaint bars and cafes, perfect for a leisurely stroll. Marburg’s medieval, fairy-tale charm, with its historic architecture, steep steps, romantic marketplace, and the imposing Landgrave Palace, once inspired the Brothers Grimm, who worked in this enchanting town.
Nestled at the foot of Castle Hill, our hotel offers modern comfort with a welcoming ambience in the heart of this historic university town. With beautifully designed rooms and suites, we provide accommodation that feels like a home away from home. Start your day with a sumptuous breakfast buffet in our Tartaruga restaurant, unwind with a drink in our cosy lobby bar after a busy day, or rejuvenate in our relaxing sauna.
For business travellers, our hotel features six modern event rooms that can accommodate up to 230 guests, paired with attentive and professional service, making it an ideal venue for conferences. For weddings, our naturally lit rooms offer a beautiful and inviting setting to celebrate your special day.

You can uncover these stories aboard the castle train! During the two-hour ride, your guide will share captivating tales as you pass the market square and the authentic gables of the picturesque Fachwerk half-timbered old town.
