The restaurant at Hotel Erbprinz is something of an institution in the area, after first receiving a MICHELIN Star in 1967, but the hotel attached to it is worth a visit in its own right. Just across the street from Ettlingen Castle in Germany’s Black Forest, this elegant 18th-century building first served as a stagecoach station; more than two centuries...

T

he restaurant at Hotel Erbprinz is something of an institution in the area, after first receiving a MICHELIN Star in 1967, but the hotel attached to it is worth a visit in its own right. Just across the street from Ettlingen Castle in Germany’s Black Forest, this elegant 18th-century building first served as a stagecoach station; more than two centuries later, hotelier Bernhard Zepf turned it into a five-star hotel. The place still has an air of old-world glamour, with several open-to-the-public venues — a cozy wine bar, a cigar lounge, and Café Erbprinz, overseen by pastry chef Jasmina Knebel, wife of the restaurant’s chef, Ralph Knebel — adding to the convivial, special-occasion atmosphere.

Guest rooms are refined and mostly classic in style, with dark wood flooring, richly colored carpets, and delicate linen curtains framing floor-to-ceiling windows. Newly renovated rooms are more modern, with speckled marble bathrooms, striped rugs, and wall-sized botanical murals, and suites have a vintage twist, with midcentury modern furnishings and antique details. The hotel’s crowning glory is the Sky Suite, featuring a soaking tub with views of the forest and a private terrace with an outdoor sauna. Downstairs, the hotel’s beautiful spa has an ethereal indoor pool, a snow room, and Japanese-style relaxation rooms with built-in wooden daybeds, perfect for unwinding after sightseeing — or a multi-course meal with wine pairings.
