Incredible views of the city and Roman Amphitheater extend from this traditional, hillside-perched hotel; try for a front room, which comes with a balcony that's idyllic for enjoying a glass of Moselle (the in-house honour bar has wine and beer). It's a great option for cyclists, with lock-up bike storage. A zigzag path leads down the hill into Trier.
