Location & History

Hotel Spitzweg sits inside Rothenburg ob der Tauber's medieval old town walls, 700 ft from the Rothenburg Christmas Market. The building dates from the 1500s with original wood beam ceilings, thick plaster walls, and period furniture in guest rooms. Guests can walk to Klostergarten Park and Burggarten, plus the central Marktplatz is about 10 minutes on foot.

The hotel offers spacious rooms, such as the Large Double Room which includes a separate vestibule for luggage and coats. Every guest room has a private bathroom; some rooms offer a seating area and a TV. Room 10 is a Twin Room with updated bathrooms, while the Family Suite provides extra space for groups.

Dining & Breakfast

An inclusive breakfast is served at the partner hotel Hotel zum Breiterle, located one block away from Hotel Spitzweg. Breakfast includes a buffet with a quality coffee machine, juices, and cooked-to-order eggs. Guests can walk to the sister hotel for their morning meal, where the staff is noted for being friendly and accommodating.

Parking & Accessibility

Free off-street parking is available for guests traveling by car, though parking is now arranged through the partner hotel Hotel zum Breiterle. Check-in uses an automatic key dispenser accessed with the reservation number, and no staff is on site at Hotel Spitzweg.
