SCHLOSSHOTEL KRONBERG - HOTEL FRANKFURT
About the Castle Hotel
Schlosshotel Kronberg - Hotel Frankfurt - A Castle of Imperial Grandeur
For decades, the Schlosshotel Kronberg has been a benchmark for discreet luxury in the Taunus region. This five-star superior hotel, a former "Schloss Friedrichshof," offers a unique confluence of imperial history and modern comfort, all set within a magnificent English-style park. It's an established destination for those seeking an exclusive setting for private parties, corporate events, or simply a discerning retreat above the picturesque town of Kronberg im Taunus, just a stone's throw from Frankfurt.
Location
Perched above the charming town of Kronberg im Taunus, the Schlosshotel Kronberg commands a serene position amidst its own expansive, meticulously maintained park. The Taunus hills provide a verdant embrace, while the park itself, designed in the style of a traditional English garden, offers a tranquil escape. For those who enjoy the sport, the hotel's proximity to the Golf- und Country Club Kronberg is a distinct advantage, with some fairways offering tantalizing glimpses of the Frankfurt skyline. The immediate surroundings offer cultural pursuits, with landmarks such as the Museum Kronberger Malerkolonie and the historic Altstadt a short distance away, hinting at the region's rich heritage.
Style and Character
The Schlosshotel Kronberg is nothing short of a living testament to imperial times. Its gothic exterior hints at the historical resonance within, where exclusive furnishings, an impressive collection of antiques, and paintings from the private estate of the mother of the last Kaiser create an authentic castle ambiance. Much of the interior, including the former library of the empress-now a venue for events-is listed for its historical preservation. Even the smallest touches, like the original desk of Wilhelm II housed within the 100m² interior, speak to a grandeur that has been thoughtfully preserved, offering a palpable sense of history.
Service and Facilities
The hotel offers a comprehensive suite of facilities designed to cater to both leisure and business pursuits. For guests seeking relaxation, the on-site beauty salon provides treatments, massages, and hair styling, and it's the only golf hotel in the Taunus to offer such amenities. The property is well-equipped to host events, with spaces like the former library, capable of accommodating up to 350 people, and a grotto area in the park, perfect for romantic dinners or company barbecues, further enhanced by a waterfall backdrop ideal for receptions. For a touch of automotive flair, guests can rent a Porsche directly on-site.
Rooms
The Schlosshotel Kronberg presents a curated collection of 62 rooms and suites, ranging from the elegant Superior category to the magnificent Royal Suite, each embodying discreet luxury. The newly decorated Castle Rooms, between 25-30m², offer a balance of comfort and functionality, featuring warm tones, ample desk space, and a unique castle atmosphere. Larger, renovated Castle Park View rooms (25-45m²) provide charming vistas, while the Castle Grand Park View rooms (30-55m²) offer spectacular panoramic views through exceptionally large windows, encompassing the golf course, Frankfurt skyline, or Taunus Mountains. For those desiring more space and luxury, the Castle Junior Suites (38-50m²) feature separate living and sleeping areas, and the Castle Balcony Suites offer private balconies with stunning views. The pinnacle is the Castle Royal Suite, a 150m² testament to European history and comfort, adorned with antiques and art.
Food and Drink
Dining at the Schlosshotel Kronberg is an experience in itself, promising "simply great food." Chef Christoph Hesse crafts fresh spring dishes and classics, such as fried fish accompanied by light side dishes, showcasing culinary artistry. For those seeking a more refined experience, the hotel's event spaces can be transformed for everything from intimate romantic dinners in the grotto to elaborate banquets. Jimmy's Bar, an American-style bar, serves as a sophisticated spot for conversation and relaxation, particularly appealing to night owls, and is known for its extensive selection of over 50 whiskies.
Value for Money
As a 5-star superior castle hotel, the Schlosshotel Kronberg occupies an exclusive tier, with pricing reflecting its historic setting, luxurious amenities, and prime location. While specific rates vary by room category and season, the experience offered-encompassing imperial ambiance, impeccable service, fine dining, and access to a championship golf course-positions it as a destination for those seeking a memorable, high-end stay. The ability to host significant private or corporate events further adds to its value proposition for specific clientele.

Family-Friendly
