Bad Kreuznach Hotels

If you're looking for a relaxing break somewhere a bit different, the German town of Bad Kreuznach is a great choice. This town is famous for its excellent wines and as a health resort, due to the local spas fed by thermal springs. There are some terrific places to stay here too. Bad Kreuznach hotels offer a wonderful mixture of traditional and modern with luxurious results.

The town itself is a beautiful, historic place dominated by a magnificent castle. Kauzenberg Castle was constructed by Count von Sponheim in the 13th century for the use of his nobles. The old town, or Altstadt, holds some architectural delights and is great to wander through. It is an exceptionally friendly place, whose motto is 'guests are treated as temporary citizens' and you will find a warm welcome from the locals wherever you go.

Local attractions include the classical Bridge Houses across the Nahe River that give you a wonderful glimpse into the town's rich history. It is also home to the Gothic church, Pauluskirche, where Karl Marx famously married his wife in the 1840s. It is a beautiful place to visit with a magical and serene atmosphere. One must-see place in the town is the home of Johann Georg Faust, who was the doctor who inspired the well-known Faust character in the story in which he sells his soul for worldly pleasures. The author, Goethe, was said to have been inspired by this German alchemist and his book inspired many other artisans.

The local Baderhaus spa is the largest of its kind in Germany, where you can bathe in the gloriously warm salt water that originates from the ancient spring. Its healing properties will leave bathers with a feeling of ultimate relaxation and well being. They are also used to improve the health of visitors with a number of conditions, particularly cardiovascular disorders. It is thought that the health benefits of 'taking the waters' are due to the high concentrations of salt and radium in the water. Since the spring was discovered in 1817, it has become a famous health resort and a popular place with wealthy Europeans.

The magnificent sauna house is beautifully decorated in a classical style so that you can pamper both your body and your soul. There are a huge variety of saunas here that you can try including meditation, Roman and Finnish saunas. Other treatments that you can enjoy here include deep cleansing in Scheherazade baths or you can relax with a deep muscle massage. One popular therapy is the 'Cleopatra' bath, which involves soaking in a rich mixture that includes goat's butter cream.

This area offers a paradise for cyclists and walkers, where you can explore the vineyards, forests, rivers and villages and enjoy the breathtaking natural landscapes. Bad Kreuznach sits in the beautiful Nahe River valley. The local vineyards are known for producing some of the best German wines from their Silvaner, Müller-Thurgau and Riesling grapes.

Bad Kreuznach hotels are great places to try some of these delicious local wines in cozy hotel bars. After a day of pampering with some of the glorious treatments and therapies available in Bad Kreuznach, there are very good restaurants to try out in the hotels. Here you can sample some local gastronomic delights with some friendly service and great views. Alternatively, you can select from healthy and international menu options too.

You can also try some spa treatments at your hotel, as many of the local establishments boast heated pools filled with local spring water and modern fitness centers, alongside saunas and massage treatment rooms. They are found close to the Baderhaus spa, so that you can make the most of all of the health and wellness options on offer.

At these hotels, you will be treated to tasteful hotel rooms, many of which are soundproofed for a touch of added luxury. These rooms include stylish en-suite bathrooms and many have balconies to allow you to enjoy the breathtaking views across the Rhine Valley from the comfort of your hotel.
