Primo spot near it all – 20 mins from the airport and close to the Central Station (Europe’s largest!).

As the name would indicate, right across from the Hauptbahnhof.

Art Nouveau façade with fab interior decor to match (don’t worry, you’ll still get modern musts like flat-screens and WiFi).

Biggies like Botanischer Garten Jena and Planetarium Jena are less than a 10-min stroll. (Get going!)

Central spot in the heart. Traditional elegance abounds. Columns, wood paneling – the works.

It’s a historic moated castle with a beautiful baroque garden. Repeat: you get to stay on castle grounds.

Wellness retreat with various luxe treatments to cure what ails you.

Spectacular views from the hotel terrace. Or dine inside, feasting on dry-aged bison in the massive, lodge-like restaurant.

Not too-too far from the Bauhaus Museum and Neue Weimarhalle conference centre – with a park across the street.

Near the train and on a main road, with a bus stop just outside the door – can you say convenient?
