Welcome Hotel
Residenzschloss Bamberg

The town of Bamberg traces its roots back to the 9th century, taking its name from the nearby Babenberch castle. Renowned as one of Germany's most beautiful towns, Bamberg enchants visitors with its medieval streets and historic architecture. The old town, home to approximately 2,400 authentic Fachwerk (timber-framed) houses, Bamberg Cathedral and Altenburg Castle, among other iconic landmarks, has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1993. Emperor Henry II, a significant figure in Bamberg's history, enriched the city with a wealth of art treasures, monasteries, and churches.

Welcome Hotel Residenzschloss Bamberg is situated just steps from Bamberg's Old City. Nestled along the serene banks of the River Regnitz, our hotel, originally built in 1787 as a hospital and transformed into a hotel in 1990, offers 184 rooms, making it an ideal retreat for families, couples, and business travellers.

Enjoy gourmet dining at our exquisite restaurant, relax on the charming café terrace, and unwind with refreshing drinks at the Residenz-Lounge. Host your conference in one of our nine versatile event rooms, or celebrate your wedding in our enchanting Baroque chapel and elegant function spaces. Whether you're here for business or leisure, we provide a rejuvenating stay, complemented by our high-quality service and the rich cultural ambience of Bamberg.

Our hotel is the perfect gateway to explore Bamberg's rich history. Stroll through its quaint alleys and be transported back in time, where the majestic cathedral overlooks the city, and the old town hall sits gracefully by the River Regnitz.

To enrich your stay, we offer a variety of leisure activities. Music enthusiasts will delight in the unforgettable concerts at the Bamberger Symphoniker. For those who enjoy sightseeing, Schloss Weissenstein in Pommersfelden, an example of Franconian Baroque, and Schloss Seehof in Memmelsdorf, with its Rococo garden and water fountains, are not to be missed. If you're seeking more active adventures, the hiking and climbing tours in Franconian Switzerland enable you to immerse yourself in the region's natural beauty.
