It’s worth going the extra mile to this charismatic 18th-century hotel. At the pricier end of the spectrum, the spacious, warm-hued rooms have whirlpool tubs for a postsightseeing bubble. The wood-panelled restaurant dishes up appetising Swabian grub (mains €10 to €18) from Maultaschen (pork and spinach ravioli) to pork with Spätzle (egg noodles).
