Hotel Belle Epoque

Very nice hotel, feel like living in a castle. Breakfast in the garden also very nice. Walking distance to nearby shops and restaurants!

I am not much of a review writer, but I feel compelled to tell everyone about this wonderful find in Baden Baden! My sister and I visited several cities on a two week trip to the Alsace region, and stayed in many beautiful places along the way. I love boutique hotels for their warmth and charm, and I try to book those that are in the character of the surroundings. Why would you want modern decor in a beautiful old world town? The Belle Epoque was our choice in Baden Baden and it did not disappoint. Our room (The Marie Antoinette) was spacious and well appointed overlooking the tranquil gardens. Even though it backed up to the Dining Room where breakfast is served daily, we never heard any of it! Instead, we awoke to the sweet sounds of birds singing in the garden. Lovely! The breakfast was sumptuous with plenty of meats, yogurts, cereals, bread and even fresh juice and champagne. Eggs were in a warmer, which is not ideal, so we didn't have any of those, but we were told that you can order separately. The spread was plenty to keep us satisfied, so we never did order the eggs. The weather was chilly, so we did not eat out on the terrace, but I'm sure that would be fabulous in the warm months, especially during the complimentary afternoon tea service. The staff went out of their way to accommodate us, with Ivan being particularly helpful. He was very patient in answering our endless questions and gave us some very good recommendations for dining, activities and even general travel (Btw, did you know that, although many of us fly through Paris when coming to Europe, Amsterdam can be a better choice? It has many flight and train connections, and is often cheaper & easier to get in & out of.... Good to know! Thank you, Ivan! 😁) This hotel is true to it's name, for you DO feel historically transported to that beautiful age in the genteel neighborhood which now backs up to the Bremmer's Park Hotel & Spa (not NEARLY as nice as this place!), which could be great if you wanted to pop in for a nearby spa service during your stay. There is also the restaurant, Schneider's Weinstube only a couple of doors down in another stately old mansion. We didn't eat there, but we noticed (too late) that it is one of the very highly rated restaurants in town. A five minute stroll through the park brings you to the town center and promenade shops, dining, the ******, theatre and spas. My sister was not familiar with Baden Baden and wasn't sure if she wanted to include it in our trip ~ now she can't wait to come back with her husband! It will certainly be at The Belle Epoque that she'll be staying!

A beautifully decoded hotel with equally decorated hotel rooms in a very fashionable French way in a very quiet neighbourhood when you hear only the birds sing in the lovely garden and terrace. Bkfst was very good and sumptuously served in the dining room, recently painted. We were welcomed as if we were old friends of the Rademacher family.

We had a hard time getting to the hotel by car due to the Chris**as market in Baden-Baden. in the end we parked 500m from the hotel. Maybe a note upon confirmation of the reservation on how to get to the hotel would have been good. We would've saved ourselves a lot of time and nerves. Our Sat-Nav just wasn't too good at spotting a better way to get there. Our room was in a separate building. Top floor narrow windy staircase - no lift. That could've been also mentioned in the confirmation of the reservation (travel light/not main building). The hotel parking charges per night. There's an afternoon tea which is part of the package (a small cake per guest with tea/coffee). The location is perfect. Quiet yet central. The room was large and clean, even has a jacuzzi which we didn't use as we soaked in the thermals for hours instead. not sure whether a jacuzzi makes much sense at all in Baden-Baden. it's a very nice touch but you could easily do without. The toilet had an issue with the flushing. The breakfast was perfectly fine with quite a few choices. But it was a bit weird that we were shown to a separate room to have breakfast all by ourselves while the rest of the people were in the room where the buffet was. The reception staff was really friendly, forthcoming and professional. All in all I would recommend this place and now that we know to to get there I would definitely come again.
