The great German poet Goethe stayed here, only one in a long line of distinguished guests starting with Emperor Friedrich III in 1487. The vaulted-cellar wine tavern is a reminder of those days. The three honeymoon suites are furnished in 18th-century style, with hand-painted four-poster beds. The property is right in the center of the city, in the shadow of the big church tower. Pros: historic hotel, in the center of town. Cons: hotel needs renovating, no Web site.
