The Romantic Road
One of the few hotels outside the historical walls, the crisply contemporary Ana Flair, right opposite the train station, is the latest addition to the town's hotel scene. The 39 rooms blend retro-styling with 21st-century layouts and materials, the communal areas throw a little bit of Swabian tradition into the mix and there's a reasonably priced restaurant for lazy evenings.
Breakfast is normally included making this a pretty good deal all round.
