The Hotel zur alten Brücke has seen many students come and go in its eventful history since it was built in 1707. Whether they lived here, celebrated, loved, laughed or even learned in the end. The proximity to the university, to the banks of the Neckar with the magnificent bridge, to the romantic castle ruins and to the numerous student pubs, have made this location, the desired destination of living in Heidelberg for generations. Until it became a hotel & inn! In order to preserve the spirit of study in all its facets, all rooms were equipped with appropriate “bookshelves”, desks and a colorful mix of styles, transforming them into individual study rooms.

“We love what we do” – this motto still runs consistently through all areas of the traditional hotel, which is personally managed by the von Kretschmanns family in the third and fourth generations. The 118 rooms and suites are individually designed and furnished. Here timeless elegance meets modernity, where you immediately feel at home. You can enjoy culinary delights in the fine-dining restaurant or in the summer restaurant. Experience fine dining at the highest level and fine wines from around the world. Our guests will find relaxation in the PANORAMA SPA. Here, above the rooftops of Heidelberg, a feel-good oasis with a view of the world-famous Heidelberg Castle has been created.
We are very much looking forward to pampering you in our Grand Hotel.
Your family von Kretschmann
