About Germany

Modern Germany stands as Europe's economic powerhouse, seamlessly blending progressive culture with deep-rooted traditions. This remarkable nation captivates visitors with its striking contrasts: gleaming financial centres rise alongside medieval castles, cutting-edge museums neighbour striking cathedrals, and vast forests stretch beyond lively cities. From Berlin’s edgy cultural hotspots to the mountainous marvels of beautiful Bavaria, this is an endlessly fascinating country — and one offering a staggering array of accommodation options. The best places to stay in Germany reflect the country’s diversity, perfect for a whole host of tastes and budgets, from chic little B&Bs to five star luxury hotels and resorts.

Some of our Germany Collections:

Berlin is undoubtedly amongst the world’s most captivating capitals. Once divided, this marvellous metropolis now thrums with artistic energy and has long been one of the country's most popular destinations. Munich, on the other hand, charms visitors with is Bavarian warmth and buzzing beer gardens, whilst sophisticated Düsseldorf will delight art aficionados and keen shoppers. Hamburg, the country’s largest port, promises cosmopolitan style and a proud history of maritime trade, whilst Frankfurt’s glittering skyscrapers reflect its position as Germany’s commercial capital.

Beyond Germany’s cities lie a plethora of natural wonders. Hike and mountain bike through the enormous Black Forest, admire the vine-clad slopes of the Rhine Valley, or kick back in pretty spa towns with restorative thermal baths and hearty regional cuisine. Up in the mountains, you’ll find bird-spotting and hiking opportunities aplenty, as well as gorgeous lakes for summertime swimming, boat trips, fishing and kayaking. The country’s smaller cities and towns — like beautiful Cologne — are home to many of the best places to stay in Germany, and brilliant for arts and culture-focused long weekends.

The Best Places to Stay in Germany

For old town charm

  • Goldener Anker is a beautiful 18th-century townhouse in the heart of Bayreuth, with elegant en-suite bedrooms and an excellent gourmet restaurant. Sumptuous interiors feature patterned red and cream wallpapers and big wooden beds, some of which are four-posters. A great cafe and bicycle rental service add to the appeal. A charming traditional hotel.

Travel information

  • Depending on your destination, fly to Berlin Tegel Airport, Munich Airport, Düsseldorf Airport, Frankfurt Airport, Cologne Bonn Airport or Stuttgart Airport. Most airports are well-connected by public transport to their respective cities and regions. Germany's railway network is also great, and you'll find it swift and simple to travel between hubs by train. 
  • Rural Germany is also great for a road trip! Contact our online partner Rentalcars if you would like to hire a car.
  • Germany is a year-round destination. The summer months are brilliant for open-air festivals, lake swims and long evenings in bustling beer gardens, though you'll find fewer crowds and great hotel deals in the spring and autumn. Hiking through forests of red, orange and yellow leaves is also very special! Travel in December for gorgeous Christmas Markets, complete with live music and moreish Glüwhein.
