This is a place that promises a special world of pleasant rest, cultural diversion, and culinary delights-a true holiday to remember.
Location
The hotel enjoys a striking position among vineyards, high above the Rhine River, offering breathtaking vistas of the valley and the picturesque Seven Virgins View. It commands a view of the Pfalzgrafenstein castle at Kaub, a sight that truly captures the romantic spirit of the region. The medieval town of Oberwesel itself is just a stone's throw away, providing an accessible gateway to local charm.
Style and Character
The Burghotel Auf Schönburg embraces its historic heritage, with rooms and suites featuring a traditional and romantic décor. This classic ambiance is thoughtfully complemented by modern comforts.

The very architecture of the castle lends an air of enduring charm.
Service and Facilities
The service here is attentive, aiming to treat guests to that special world of rest and delight. Luggage service from the parking is available daily from 3:00 PM to 7:30 PM, a thoughtful touch for those arriving by car. While specific spa or gym facilities aren't detailed, the emphasis is clearly on creating a serene and comfortable environment for guests to unwind and enjoy their surroundings. The castle courtyard itself offers a charming space for guests to spend some wonderful hours.
Rooms
The 29 luxuriously appointed rooms, suites, and cottages at Burghotel Auf Schönburg are distinguished by their highest contemporary comfort and distinctive style, each offering a unique perspective. For instance, the Turmzimmer, a very special room built into the tower, provides a unique sleeping experience in a bed set into an alcove, with a view over the Rhine. Suites like No. 28, a generous 49m², offer a cozy living room followed by a comfortable bedroom. Smaller, yet still charming, are the beautiful 24m² double rooms, featuring modern bathrooms with showers and toilets, and some boasting views of the castle courtyard and the Engehöl valley. The 12.5m² rooms offer a wonderful view directly over the Rhine. For ultimate relaxation, the 26m² Rheinfelskemenate on the ground floor overlooks the Rhine, and some rooms even feature private saunas and rain showers. Each room and suite comes equipped with cable TV, a complimentary minibar, and a spacious bathroom, ensuring a comfortable stay.
Food and Drink
Culinary experiences are a highlight, with the castle restaurant offering a five-course Gourmet candlelight dinner, complete with corresponding wines - a truly memorable experience. The property also serves a rich breakfast buffet, featuring home-made jams, fresh croissants, and other carefully selected dishes and drinks to start the day. Guests can also find a cozy living area designed for relaxation, perhaps to enjoy a welcome sherry and reminisce about the day's explorations.
Value for Money
The Burghotel Auf Schönburg positions itself as a destination for a memorable holiday, promising a blend of rest, cultural enrichment, and fine dining. The inclusion of a five-course gourmet dinner with wines, alongside a comprehensive breakfast, suggests a package that offers significant value for those seeking a special occasion or a luxurious escape in a unique historical setting. The exceptional views and the romantic ambiance further enhance the perceived value.
Accessibility
While the historical nature of the castle may present challenges, the hotel does offer a lift to the second floor where the Burghofzimmer is located. Some suites and rooms feature private entrances and are designed with comfort in mind, though specific accessibility features for all room types would require direct inquiry.
