Welcome Hotel Residenzschloss Bamberg
About
Welcome Hotel Residenzschloss Bamberg is a historic gem perched on the banks of the Regnitz River, just a stone’s throw from Bamberg’s UNESCO World Heritage old town. The former 18th‑century hospital has been transformed into a boutique hotel of 184 tastefully appointed rooms, each bathed in warm baroque décor and furnished with modern comforts such as flat‑screen TVs, free Wi‑Fi and in‑room minibars. Guests can indulge in river views from the charming terrace, or unwind in the hotel’s soft‑wellness area, complete with sauna, steam bath and a compact fitness room. The property’s highlight is its baroque chapel and serene riverside setting, which create an intimate backdrop for romance, celebrations or quiet reflection. Dining options range from a welcoming breakfast buffet in the orange‑thera terrace, to the sophisticated restaurant Fürst Bischof von Erthal, and the relaxed lounge that offers regional cuisine, beer and exquisite cocktails. With 24‑hour reception, a dedicated concierge and a range of service rooms for conferences and weddings, the hotel comfortably caters to couples, families, business travellers and history enthusiasts alike. Beyond its lavish interiors, the hotel is renowned for its accessibility to Bamberg’s cultural treasures – the Dom, the Alte Rathaus, and the scenic Fränkische Schweiz. Guests can explore the city on foot or enjoy curated bike routes that start from the hotel’s dedicated bicycle storage and repair station. Offering uninterrupted service and a blend of heritage and modernity, the Welcome Hotel Residenzschloss Bamberg promises an unforgettable stay in the heart of Franconia.
