Romantik Hotel Fürstenhof

This handsome Landshut city mansion, a few minutes on foot from the center of town, had no difficulty qualifying for inclusion in the Romantik group of hotels—it just breathes romance, from its plush gourmet restaurant supplied by regional small producers, to the cozy, traditional bedrooms. A vine-covered terrace shadowed by a chestnut tree adds charm of this hotel in the former capital of Bavaria, famous for hosting one of the largest historical pageants in Europe every four years.

To continue the medieval theme, book the "Der Tuchhändler" room, based on a detective novel set in Landshut in 1475 (just before the Landshut Wedding that is the inspiration for the modern-day quadrennial pageant).
