All highlights within walking distance!
Discover Mannheim
You can explore almost all the highlights of our city on foot. Friedrichsplatz, one of the best-preserved neo-baroque and art nouveau squares in Germany, with its emblematic water tower, the new art gallery and the "Rosengarten" congress and event center, is one of the liveliest and most beautiful places in Mannheim, and also the start of the shopping mile "Die Planken".
Going to the opera
The Nationaltheater Mannheim (NTM) is less than 200 meters away from our hotel. It is one of the largest and oldest municipal repertory theaters in Germany. With the biennial International Schiller Days and the Mannheim Mozart Summer, as well as around 350,000 visitors a year, the Nationaltheater Mannheim is the flagship of the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region and reaches a broad regional and national audience. - Currently closed for complete renovation.

Visit the castle
Mannheim's baroque palace (now the university) is also within walking distance. With a length of almost 450 meters and an enclosed area of six hectares, the extensive complex is one of the largest palaces in Europe. Mannheim Palace is the second largest baroque palace complex in Europe after Versailles Palace - and has exactly one more window than its French counterpart 😉

Go shopping
Designed as a pedestrian zone, the Planken is Mannheim's main shopping street. It is the most frequented shopping street in the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region and is one of the top locations in Germany in cities with a population of around 300,000.
Visit museums
Whether it's the Kunsthalle, the Reiss-Engelhorn museums or the baroque palace: our hotel is the ideal starting point for reaching the city's cultural highlights on foot. And if you like being outdoors, even the State Museum of Labor and Technology and the Planetarium are within easy walking distance.
Go out for a delicious meal
As the center of the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region and a vibrant, multicultural city, Mannheim offers a wide selection of first-class restaurants to suit every taste and budget.
Whether it's delicious pizza, Italian-Mediterranean food, the best sushi, traditional German cuisine or international Michelin-starred restaurants: you can easily reach the best restaurants our city has to offer from the hotel.
Enjoy nature
Even if you like to spend your free time in the countryside, it's not far away. Mannheim's Luisenpark, with its more than 3,000 trees of 130 different species and a sea of more than 200,000 flowers in spring and fall, is the ideal place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city.
Go jogging
Less than 300 meters from the hotel is Luisenpark, Mannheim's central park with an ash track and street workout facility. And just behind it you come to the Neckar, along which you can walk many kilometers undisturbed.
