Hotel Krämerbrücke

This bright hotel, in a brilliant spot near a willow-fringed arm of the Gera River, gets a thumbs-up from design-minded travellers impressed by a thorough refurbishment in 2018. Eighty-five rooms of varying sizes are spread over two buildings, one an annexe on the historic Krämerbrücke. Limited parking is available, at €15 per night.
