A 10-min drive from Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe (see the castle in Kassel!). The VW factory is also 5 min away.

Don’t be fooled by the early 20th century exterior or the onsite restaurant name (Bistro 1904). Fresh, modern interior delights.

Hotel pool is prime for relaxation or exercise.

Get the night (or afternoon) started without leaving the onsite bar.

Check out local must-sees like the monastery ruins at Eppenberg Charterhouse or head a little further to Lake Goldbergsee.

Rooms are comfy, spacious and modern.

Inviting, low-key stay that doesn’t scrimp on style – it’s all that without trying too hard.

Tranquil location on the outskirts of town, mere steps from Teutoburg Forest.

Occupies a prime corner location in the city centre.

Whatever time you stumble in, the 24-hour front desk serves up service with a smile.

A hop, skip and a jump (make sure to do all three) to the Gütersloh station and city centre.

The Bach House Museum and Wartburg Castle are both within the realm of sightseeing possibilities. Hop to it.
