Enjoy a luxury stay at a stunning and traditional 19th-century hotel in the centre of Weimar - includes breakfast, wellness access, late check-out and more
  • A historic winner: Boasting a prime location in Weimar’s old town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Best Western Premier Grand Hotel Russischer Hof is a 200-year-old structure of magnificence and luxury. Through the years it’s been the hotel of choice for personalities like Goethe, Liszt and Wagner, and it’s no big puzzle why when you consider the chandelier-laid rooms with period furnishings and décor.

  • Impressive cuisine: When it comes to dining, you’re well and truly taken care of at Restaurant Franz, where the authentic Austrian cuisine will whisk you away to the Alpine Republic with its traditional flavours and age-old culinary techniques. For more intimate moments, dining under the vaulted eaves of the Rasputin Keller is first-rate, and for afternoon bites and caffeine cravings, the hotel has its own Coffee House with sweet and savoury delights. Naturally there’s a bar as well, which is the perfect place for a pre-dinner tipple or cosy nightcap.

  • Sites on your doorstep: You’re fantastically placed to make the most of this remarkable city, with many of the top sites and attractions right on your doorstep, including the Bauhaus Museum, the German National Theatre, Anna-Amalia-Bibliothek, not to mention the homes of Schiller, Goethe and Nietzsche. At just over 12 kilometres away you can also spend a poignant day visiting the Buchenwald Memorials, all before being welcomed back at your hotel with a steamy sauna session, and even a massage if the mood takes you.

Best Western Premier Grand Hotel Russischer Hof, Goetheplatz 2, 99423 Weimar, Germany

The birthplace of Weimar Classicism and the home of the German National Theatre, Weimar is an understated treasure trove of culture and interesting architecture. Coupled with the Staatskapelle Weimar orchestra, don’t pass up the chance of taking in a show in one of six venues at one of Germany’s most important theatre companies. Beyond that you have the houses of some of the great thinkers and artists, such as Goehe House and Schiller House, and speaking of this duo, you’ll also find the Goethe-Schiller Monument in Weimar, which is widely recognised as one of the most well-known monuments in Germany.
