Ideal spot an 8-min jaunt from the river and just a few mins more to the historic heart and lively pedestrian area.

Location’s perf for sightseeing – the junction of the A5 & the A6 is within a short drive.

Wunderbar location close to all the centre sights, shops, restaurants and the train station.

Open since 1965, the restaurant has established a reputation for its African-inspired eats, and has now added a handful of inviting rooms.

Modern in a cosy, plush way – with coffee maker, tea fixings, rain shower and AC, plus an open bar on every floor (!). Yep, you read that right.

Razzle-dazzle interiors do not hold back. Overscale red-tufted wingbacks, patterned wallpaper and a fear-no-colour palette of chairs.

Crisp and clean, the décor rocks a modern palette of whites and greens.

Lobby bar is always open in case you’re craving a nightcap, a midday cocktail or a chat with a fellow adventurer.

Petite, simple (but super chic) guestrooms are on-point for a cosy sightseeing base.

Bring your furry friends along for the ride. This place is pet friendly.

This whole gem’s completely carbon neutral(!). And, bonus, there are electric car-charging stations onsite.

Sensible spot between the airport and centre. Sometimes splitting the difference is the best way to go.

Next the to Kurpark spa park in Germany’s summer capital – a 3-min walk from the famous Baden-Baden Casino (so fancy shoes, it is!).

Towering building treats you to killer skyline views. Onsite spa helps you recover from your flight.

Overindulged while out on the town? Sweat it out in the gym.
