Historic Luxury Hotels in Baden-Baden

Where tradition meets refined ease, Hotel Maison Messmer offers a five-star stay in the heart of Baden-Baden—blending southern charm, spa serenity, and a touch of Black Forest magic.

Maison Messmer has been part of Baden-Baden’s history since its founding in 1834 by Johann Friedrich Baptist Messmer. Over the decades, it became a gathering place for prominent guests from princes and kings to modern-day public figures like Til Schweiger and Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton.

While the hotel has evolved, its connection to the city’s cultural and social life has remained. Housed within historic walls and recently recognized among Germany’s best hotels, Maison Messmer continues to reflect the spirit of Baden-Baden where tradition, hospitality, and a sense of place come together in quiet continuity.

Some hotels feel like they’re part of the city’s soul, and the Steigenberger Icon Europäischer Hof is exactly that.

For over 180 years, this grand hotel has stood at the heart of Baden-Baden, welcoming artists, aristocrats, and curious travelers alike. More than just a place to stay, it has long been a cultural and social landmark where elegance, conversation, and the rhythm of the city come together.

Now, as the birthplace of the Steigenberger brand reopens in 2025, the Europäischer Hof begins a new chapter in its storied legacy. Thoughtfully restored and reimagined, it blends timeless grace with contemporary flair offering 126 beautifully designed rooms and suites that reflect both the past and the present.

Whether you’re here to explore the spa gardens, enjoy a concert at the Festspielhaus, or simply settle in with a glass of wine at the Auerhuhn bar, the Europäischer Hof invites you to experience Baden-Baden at its most refined and most welcoming.

Nestled along the picturesque Lichtentaler Allee, Brenners Park-Hotel & Spa combines classic elegance with contemporary comfort, featuring renovated rooms, sustainable features, and the renowned Villa Stéphanie medical spa.

Set along the historic Lichtentaler Allee in Baden-Baden, Brenners Park-Hotel & Spa has welcomed generations of guests since 1872, from world leaders and cultural icons like Frank Sinatra and Barack Obama to families seeking rest and renewal. Founded by Anton Alois Brenner and shaped by his visionary son Camille, the hotel has long stood as a symbol of refined European hospitality.

Now part of the prestigious, family-owned Oetker Collection, Brenners recently completed the most extensive renovation in its history. Seventy-nine rooms and suites have been redesigned with timeless elegance and modern comfort, while original 19th-century architectural details were carefully restored. Sustainable materials and advanced wellness facilities including the award-winning Villa Stéphanie and Brenners Medical Care, reflect the hotel’s thoughtful evolution.

What makes Brenners truly special isn’t just its rich history, but the feeling it creates: welcoming, tranquil, and deeply personal. Whether you're exploring the Black Forest, dining on world-class cuisine, or simply enjoying the calm of the gardens, Brenners offers more than a stay. It offers a lasting sense of place.

Originally a Capuchin monastery, the Badischer Hof  became the city’s first luxury hotel in the 1800s and holds the title of Germany’s very first Palace Hotel.

Now, it's entering a new chapter as part of the Leonardo Limited Edition collection. Behind its classic façade, the hotel is being thoughtfully renewed, its legacy preserved, while interior designer Andreas Neudahm brings a fresh elegance to its spaces.

With peaceful gardens, thermal pools, and spaces full of character, the Badischer Hof is ready to welcome a new generation of guests - those who value heritage, but enjoy a contemporary touch.
