Burghotel

Nuremberg


The mock-Gothic reception area and lantern-lit corridors (watch your head) indicate you're in for a slightly different hotel experience here. The small singles and doubles have strange ’50s-style built-in timber furniture reminiscent of yesteryear train carriages, old-fashioned bedhead radios and chunky TVs, while some much larger ‘comfort’ rooms under the eaves have spacious sitting areas and more up-to-date amenities.

Apart from the medieval theme, the big draw here is the basement heated swimming pool, where all guests are free to make a splash.
