Hotel am Sophienpark

Baden-Baden


Overlooking attractively tended gardens right in the heart of Baden-Baden, this hotel has retained all the grace and character of the belle époque, with Juliet balconies and a mansard roof. The interior brims with period features, such as the impressive wrought-iron staircase, which sweeps up to generously sized rooms that swing from contemporary to romantic and chandelier-lit in style.

The substantial breakfast includes cooked options, fresh fruits, Bircher muesli, locally baked breads and pastries. In summer there's also a restaurant, serving French-inspired cuisine (mains €27.50 to €33.50) on the park terrace.
