Wonderful Wiesbaden stay in Europe's oldest grand hotel

• Design and tradition: The Radisson Blu Schwarzer Bock was originally a bathhouse opened in 1486 and later transformed into a hotel; it boasts a long and storied history of hospitality. Considered Europe's oldest grand hotel, its historic walls whisper tales of its own past and that of Wiesbaden. While steeped in history, the hotel also prioritizes contemporary comfort, offering modern amenities that seamlessly blend with its prestigious ambiance.

• A distinguished setting: A touch of exclusive elegance is what makes the hotel's two in-house restaurants an unforgettable experience. Dark wood interiors adorn Le Capricorne, beautifully complemented by delicately chiselled stonework. The captivating ambience of the outdoor terrace makes the ideal backdrop for a great start to the day. The 1486 Bar is a little more cosy but no less sophisticated, serving a variety of sparkling wines & refreshing cocktails paired with carefully selected bar food.

• Premium location on the pulse of Wiesbaden: The hotel's deep connection to Wiesbaden's spa town history is evident in its prime location. Situated on the prestigious Kranzplatz in the city centre, it offers immediate access to key attractions. Within a short walk, you can explore the Kurhaus colonnades, the impressive city palace, the Old Town Hall, and the Hessian State Theatre. Furthermore, excellent transport links ensure that attractions located further afield are easily reachable with a short drive.
