I was in town visiting friends over the summer. A couple of my friends suggested we visit Kronberg in Taunus. Specifically, to visit this former castle, now hotel and have lunch. It was a relatively short drive north of the city and soon enough we were in the sleep small town. When we arrived the restaurant wasn't open yet so we decided to sit and chat over coffee at the terrace. Lunch was also served in an open air area of the restaurant overlooking the hotel grounds. It was lovely! We were definitely feeling the "ladies who lunch" vibe after all, apart from our group there was only another table wherein a vacationing family diner and later on a couple of business men in suits sat down for what was clearly an upscale business lunch. For the meal, we took advantage of their prix fixe lunch offer. It was 3 courses and a glass of wine for €45. After the amuse bouche, my first course was a gazpacho that was perfect for the summer. Next came a chanterelle and apricot risotto that was excellent! Fantastic combination! Dessert was also delicious and beautifully plated. Over all we found the meal to be of great value for the price and we enjoyed the leisurely lunch. After our meal we took some time strolling through the property and taking photos. We didn't get to see the rooms but it seems a stay here isn't overly expensive either. Great for a special occasion or romantic getaway.
This hotel-turned castle is beautiful. The whole place is filled with antique furniture, paintings, and architecture. I came here for some coffee and cake, and every staff I ran into were all very cheerful and helpful. The cafe is located in the lobby by the fire place. The young lady who assisted us was very kind in explaining what was available and her recommendations. There is no coffee or cake menu, so she answered all of our questions. There is a menu for the bar as well as bar food, but we ended up not ordering from it. We ordered a latte, regular coffee, the cheesecake, and the prince cake. The lady highly recommended the prince cake. She said that there was a competition for who could make the best cake for the prince, and this was the exact cake that won one of the competitions. It has alcohol mixed into it at a perfect level. My latte was delicious, minus the foam. The foam was rather chunky, which I've never experienced in a latte before. But presentation of the latte and coffee are beautiful! Parking was very convenient too. We just parked at any spot in the lot in front of the lobby doors. The bathroom is beautiful as well.
Beautiful hotel with rich history. Service was outstanding. Rooms immaculate. Food- delicious. Walk the grounds around the Dwight D. Eisenhower designed golf course. Yes, that Eisenhower. Can't say enough about the friendly, professional staff who go above and beyond in their service to their guests.
This is a castle hotel one of many in and around Germany. I had no idea this place existed until I was invited to go to a wedding here. The castle was built in 1889-93 and is an eclectic mix of British, German, French and other European architectures and designs. The grounds contain an 18-hole golf course, designed by Dwight D. Eisenhower (who stayed at the hotel with his staff for seven years beginning in 1946), and a public town park. Eisenhower was the 34th President of the USA. The room I had was on the older side of the hotel and not renovated into modern rooms. To be honest I love such hotels with classic rooms and decorated in period style. The bed was super comfortable and the room was spacious and bathroom well stocked with Molten Brown products. The staff here are really what make the place great. Super friendly, helpful and nothing is a problem. This was evident through the time I stayed here. Breakfast is also divine with tons of options cold and hot. I would come back here in a heartbeat. It's located next to a golf course and would happily play a round or two next time I stay here. The town of Kronberg is also very nice and about 15 min walk from the hotel.
We walked around and visited inside this hotel. They are very polite and very nice. Very pleasant. Their interiors are like museum and very impressed. Next time, I would like to stay there!
Very disorganized overall and frankly disappointing. The entire castle was booked for a wedding and another entire event - however, none of this was communicated when we reserved the room. As a result, they only had one tiny terrace that could fit a max of 25-30 people for the entire castle guests. This was a surprise "gift" discovered at check-in when we booked the room 4 MONTHS in advance. No communication whatsoever to guests of the hotel beforehand that probably would have chosen another hotel to avoid the drama and lack of services. The entire day was filled with miscommunication between oh no the terrace is closed, actually it is open, the bar is closed, no it's open, actually it's definitely closed... but you have the lobby, though. Guests were confused and waiting for menus for 30 minutes with no communication from anyone. Some kept asking for a table to eat their food. Strangers sat together in the same seating because there was no room anywhere... They had all their staff focus on the wedding and event and only had one waitress on the terrace for everyone else. So basically, paying hotel guests were left wandering, confused, stuck, and overall with subpar service for a 5-star hotel. When they tried to "offer" something for the inconvenience, there was lots of miscommunication as well between spas, massages, and buffet tickets, but oh yes, we won't charge you NOW, but definitely later. So I guess they think it's ok for us to pay 100 euros per person for a BBQ buffet event as a "sorry for the inconvenience"... We just wanted a normal castle restaurant. It's not a matter of price but a matter of principle. Overall, we've been to many 5 star hotels, and this was definitely the worst experience we've had. You will be paying almost $400 a night for NO. No restaurant, no bar, no full hotel access, no communication, no pretzel at 7:15 pm, no coffee in the room, no library, and no table for eating on the tiny terrace. They kept proposing for us to drive outside the castle even though we booked specifically to be IN the castle. If you are going to prioritize a wedding AND an event because it's more money and close everything, then do us all a favor and mark all the rooms as booked so you don't waste our time. Don't try to be greedy and want everything but offer nothing. read more

Cet hôtel est certes majestueux et entouré d'un parc et d'un golf eux aussi magnifiques. J'ai cependant trouvé les chambres vieillottes et mal isolées, l'offre de restauration limitée alors qu'il n'y a rien dans la ville proche. Le service et l'accueil étaient ok. Nous y étions un soir où un mariage était organisé et le DJ faisait beaucoup de bruit donc après avoir essayé en vain de dormir nous avons été à l'accueil puis déplacé dans une autre chambre à minuit. Ceci aurait pu être évité. Ils ont été commerçants et ont fait une réduction de prix sur la nuitée pour compenser le désagrément. Nous avions été à cet hôtel pour être proches de l'aéroport de Francfort dans un cadre plus sympa. Je n'y retournerai probablement pas. read more
