This former lord mayor's residence is a wonderful oasis within Rothenburg's medieval city walls, located in the central west-end of town near the quiet section by Burgtor and the green space then just outside the wall, which overlooks the Tauber River. This property boasts a charming rose garden with terrace dining, a quaint traditional restaurant, a breakfast buffet, parking, and friendly professional staff. Our family of 5 stayed in the spacious "Chalet Room" located in the 500-year old renovated hay barn directly behind the rose garden and absolutely loved it. This huge "apartment" also included a gigantic balcony with nice views of the garden and Burgtor (see photos). The manager kindly stayed at the front desk a little after hours to welcome us to the hotel, and helped us navigate over the phone so we could reach the hotel (we did not realize that we were permitted to drive through Klingentor and along the town's narrow streets to reach the small, gated parking lot). We would stay here again in a heartbeat. (Apparently this property is also associated with the cute Burg Hotel, located immediately behind the hotel and connected to the city wall. So check that out, too!)
