SCHLOSSHOTEL KRONBERG
History & Story
The Schlosshotel Kronberg, also a Golf resort and castle hotel, is owned by the Landgrave and Princes von Hessen and has since 1954 been a luxury hotel of the first order. Built under commission from Empress Victoria Friedrich and completed in 1893, Schloss Friedrichshof is today one of the most impressive German castles and offers its guests living history to touch and feel. Exclusive furnishings and an impressive collection of antiques and paintings from the private estate of the mother of the last Kaiser convey the authentic ambience of a castle from imperial times.
To make your stay even more memorable and comfortable, we have considerably renewed Schlosshotel Kronberg over the last 2 years. For creation and design, the well-known British Interior designer Nina Campbell were appointed, who combines vintage furniture with own designs realising a perfect room and space concept. The newly-created rooms, all equipped with air conditions, decorated in warm colors and with delicate fabrics and floors and immersed in special lighting welcome the guests in a very cordial way. Enjoy the unique historic ambience and indulge in the luxurious setting of Schlosshotel Kronberg. Our particularly personal service spoils you after an eventful day either in the lobby in front of the fireplace or on the castle terrace on mild summer evenings.
Due to the perfect connection to Frankfurt, the fair and the international airport, our hotel is also a very convenient solution for business travellers who benefit from free amenities such as wireless Internet, minibar/bar fridge, shoe polish service, fresh fruit and mineral water in the room and daily newspaper.

Local information about Kronberg im Taunus:
Kronberg im Taunus has in many places preserved for centuries its historical character. Kronberg Fortress as the core of the settlement, the old town’s picturesque lanes with their half-timbered houses harking back to mediaeval times, noble villas and summer residences from when the 19th century came to an end, surrounded by park-like gardens characterise to this day the atmosphere in what is at the same time a modern town.
The offer of Kronberg’s restaurants is varied and colourful. It probably covers every individual taste requirement. In Kronberg you can find affordable good cuisine from all manner of countries as well as award-winning restaurants.
Kronberg’s leisure offer is also varied and should offer something for everyone.
