Hotels Near Garten des Eltzerhofs in Rheingau-Taunus-Kreis

The hotel is located in the middle of a residential area; to the centre of the city and to the shores it is 10-15 minutes walk. The room (with tape floor) is clean and has a good size. The bathroom is a little bit small but useful. Breakfast is absolutely overpriced. Corona is a buffet where there is already in small cups sauce/ cheese or breads in baskets or cups each. Unfortunately, the breads and croissants were not fresh. The service at which you can order coffee and co was very nice. The coffee was ok, unfortunately not to enjoy the cappuccino. Overall the formal requirements of a 4-star hotel are probably present, but it doesn't feel like that.

This is just an outstanding place, with many quirks but they add to the charme - it's a 19th century chateau right by the Rhine (not on the levee; nothing is, the Rhine can be fierce), and it is very much a boutique chateau hotel. The place is famous as a two-star Michelin restaurant, but we went Monday-Wednesday when it's closed (but you can still get wine on the terrace etc.), which meant much more quietude, and it was great. Key for the experience was that we had the Tower Suite, their prime room, which has historical value - the German Constitution was discussed here shortly after WWII by the key party leaders. The bathroom is fine, the bedroom a bit low-ceilinged and dark, but the actual Tower Suite is great. It's a real space. Some constructive criticism: It's a consciously non-hip historical property, but in 2023, I think a Nespresso machine or at least a kettle is a must. In this suite, there shouldn't be random books, but at least a copy of the Constitution and a picture of Adenauer, Heuss and Carlo Schmid. To have the jacuzzi not work and not tell this in advance is so-so. And for a 400+ suite, I would as usual throw the breakfast in... But we really liked the wine selection (and the free carafe in the room); parking is great; and the staff was truly friendly and courteous. There is no elevator; the speed road goes right by between river and house (but that is the Hessian politicians' fault); and there is no pool or gym. But that one knows in advance and it's not a problem. So altogether, a very strong recommendation, especially for that suite. It's a significant, truly charming, almost otherworldly place, and if you like this - and in one of the loveliest regions of Germany - it's just a fantastic place.

The snake bath has seen better times, but that's long ago. Most guests will now come for any medical treatments. The hotel does not offer anything but clean rooms, which is why you should visit it. The lobby is large and cool with marble floor, there is no restaurant, no other facilities. The reception was very friendly and helpful, especially I would like to highlight the efforts of the young man in the evening, who organized me an expression of a mail. There is nothing to defect in the rooms, the chair is small, which is certainly due to the construction date of the house. Given the huge costs of a reconstruction, it is probably left as it is said, because the great times have passed as ”bath”, but other locations are similar. Breakfast buffet was sufficiently furnished, There is nothing to be wrong here too. A tour in the place is worth it, the beautiful old courtyard is worth seeing and some other houses like the ”Russian Court”. Can this be revived? Concise: first (and probably only) choice when you have to do in the place.

We stayed in nice hotels on this trip. This was the best of the best. It is located near a tiny hamlet called Johannesburg which is near the Rhine River. Town does have a couple of restaurants and also a bank with an ATM machine. There is also a Shell station very close to the hotel. Located on a beautiful vineyard. Hotel is spacious, relaxing, tranquil. It is a modern two story structure. One drives through a gated entrance (no guards, left open). Parking surrounds the hotel and is easy. Next to the parking is a building housing two restaurants that have incorporated the remains of a 19th century pseudo castle. Room was very large, elegant, modern. Bathroom also large and modern. Bed was comfortable but the cot they brought in was torture. Window faced the front of the hotel. We could see the 'castle', vineyard. Hotel staff were very nice. Provided us with gifts of wine and other amenities. I had concerns booking this. We wanted to spend several days seeing the Rhine river castles and I was worried it was too far from that. Adding to my concern was that it was only 35 minutes to drive to Frankfurt airport. So I thought this was out of the way. We were pleasantly surprised to find that the hotel was a great base for exploring the best parts of the Rhine. Drive along the river was pictureque and we could easily reach what we wanted to see in a short time. The hotel is located on a slope rising above the river. Driving downhill through the small town brought us to the river's edge. There is a car ferry that runs frequently taking one to the other side so we did that one day. Another day we drove the highway on our side of the river. Both were great drives. Getting to the airport on our last day was quick and easy (helped that it was Sunday when everything is closed). FYI - for those with a rental car you can fill up at the airport just as you get to the rental return/departure area.
