Schlosshotel Bad Wilhelmshöhe

Top choice in Fairy-Tale Road


You can't stay closer to Schloss Wilhelmshöhe and the other delights of Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe than this luxurious spa-hotel, set in an idyllic garden. Built in the Bauhaus style by Kassel native Paul Bode, it boasts stylish and comfortable rooms with large windows allowing maximum perspective on the beauties without. Drop some cash in the day spa if you fancy pampering.

The hotel has been witness to some history: Hindenburg organised the demobilisation of the German army after WWI here, while German Chancellor Willy Brandt and East German Prime Minister Willi Stoph used it to hold talks in 1970 – the first ever meeting between the leaders of the GDR and FRG.
