A fusion of heritage and contemporary sophistication, the new Hilton Heidelberg in Germany pays homage to the city’s rich heritage and culture. Heidelberg is famous for its Gothic architecture and is home to Germany’s first university. The hotel is located a stroll away from the Old Town, brimming with ancient buildings, quaint streets and squares and is also close to the famed Heidelberg Castle. The 244-room property’s new construction has been combined with the preservation of the former iconic Hotel Schroeder property, which dates back to 1845. Interiors pay tribute to the rich literary heritage of Heidelberg, celebrated as a UNESCO ‘City of Literature’.
The two dining venues, Schrieder’s Bar and Schrieder’s Restaurant, are named after the original hotel’s founder. The restaurant offers a contemporary take on traditional German cuisine and stands out with its elegant courtyard featuring a glass ceiling. While the bar provides a casual daytime atmosphere for coffee and informal meetings, transforming into a lively bar in the evening with signature cocktails. Both establishments honour the hotel’s history, notably with the Mark Twain Cocktail, inspired by the author’s stay in Heidelberg and mention of the hotel in his book A Tramp Abroad.
Aligned with Hilton’s Travel with Purpose ESG (environmental, social, governance) strategy, the hotel harnesses the latest technology and energy-efficient systems and actively participates in both external and internal sustainability programmes.
