Der Europaische Hof - Hotel Europa

Hotel Overview

Der Euroaische Hof - Hotel Europa is your friendly host in the romantic City of Heidelberg. It gives us very great pleasure to present our privately run Hotel in Heidelberg, which has been in the family of the present owner/managers for three generations. For 137 years now, Der Europaische Hof - Hotel Europa has been a home for cultivated travellers in search of timeless traditional charm, both in atmosphere and service. The name of this establishment stands for all that is best in European hotel culture. It is this that sets us apart from the anonymity of the big Hotel Chains.

We should like to acquaint you with a variety of offers and arrangements that are designed to whet your appetite. We are out to convince you that a visit to Heidelberg is eminently worthwhile and that a stay in this Hotel would be exactly what is needed to make that visit a truly unforgettable experience.

Official listings have us rated as one of the finest hotels in Europe and our guests are unanimous in endorsing that classification. As the only Five Star establishment in the region we consider it a point of honour to live up to the expectations that our reputation arouses. With ongoing modernization and a number of new extensions we have constantly improved our range of facilities without in any way impairing the period style that makes the Hotel so individual. Regular guests frequently express their relief that so little has changed over the years; we take this as a compliment for the care we have taken in making the necessary modifications. For international tourists and sophisticated business travellers we are the outstanding home from home in Heidelberg. Your personal guests will appreciate accommodation in the Der Europaische Hof - Hotel Europa as a token of very special esteem.
