YOUR CASTLE HOTEL IN GERMANY

WELCOME TO THE RELAIS & CHÂTEAUX HARDENBERG BURGHOTEL

A favorite hotel like no other. Perfectly imperfect luxury.

“Home is not just a place. Home is a feeling. The feeling of home. Because you are always welcome and greeted with a smile.”

Only 10 km from Göttingen lies Hardenberg, a place that combines nature, culture and relaxation.

The Relais & Châteaux Hardenberg BurgHotel is located in the green surroundings below the historic Hardenberg castle ruins. Here, in close connection with the region and the surrounding natural environment, luxury and exceptional hospitality combine into a unique experience.

The Hardenberg BurgHotel receives the MICHELIN Key

Our hotel has been awarded the MICHELIN Key for the first time by the renowned Guide MICHELIN. This new distinction recognizes hotels that stand out through exceptional stays, unique character, and outstanding hospitality, much like the MICHELIN Stars have done for decades in the world of restaurants.

Introduced in 2024, the MICHELIN Key serves as a seal of quality for hotels that offer their guests an unforgettable experience: defined by atmosphere, personality, and genuine passion.

We are truly proud that the Hardenberg BurgHotel is among the first MICHELIN Key Hotels in Germany. Nestled below the historic castle ruins and shaped by the warm-hearted charm of our team, our hotel stands for authentic hospitality and memorable moments of indulgence.
