PURS Luxury Boutique Hotel Andernach · Old TownFor this guide we reviewed the best hotels in Andernach and chose one: a luxury hotel with eleven rooms in a chancellery of 1677 – with a room looking at the chapel and a suite looking at the cathedral. What that means for booking is below.Our choice for Andernach is the PURS Luxury Boutique Hotel Andernach on Steinweg, in the old town between cathedral and Rhine. In our ranking it stands at 4.8 out of 5, and a night starts at 317 euros. The hotel belongs to Relais & Châteaux.
Why we recommend it: Because it is the only hotel the Belgian designer and antiquarian Axel Vervoordt has furnished as a total work of art – in the Old Chancellery of 1677, whose listed walls form the foundation: eleven rooms in four categories, wabi-sabi in lime plaster, linen and old timber, and a restaurant that since 2025 has cooked Asian food as Yoso. Our recommended category is called Classic.
This hotel has eleven rooms in six categories – and one of them has a view you rarely get to book.
The sizes: 27 square metres in the Classic on the garden court, 38 in the Deluxe looking at the chapel, 38 to 41 in the Deluxe on the garden court or the town, 55 in the Premier Suite on the garden court, 62 in the Signature Suite looking at the cathedral and 67 in the second Signature Suite. Six categories, six windows – here every category has its own direction.
And one direction is special: Chapel View, the view of the chapel – the Deluxe at 38 square metres. The cathedral view is rarer than one thinks too – here the Signature Suite at 62 offers it.
Then the size of the hotel: eleven rooms. The upgrade on arrival that is in the package is, with eleven rooms, a matter of chance – anyone who cares about a window books it.
And the package itself: breakfast, upgrade, welcome gift. A lean package – at 4.8, the signature of a hotel that wins you over with its rooms, not with extras.
Our advice: Book the window, not the level. Anyone wanting the chapel books the Deluxe at 38. Anyone wanting the cathedral, the Signature Suite at 62. The Classic of the recommendation is the entry point at 27 on the garden court – quiet, and the place where the upgrade, if it comes, gains the most. Tell our travel advisors the view, not just the name of the category.
The PURS Luxury Boutique Hotel Andernach stands at Steinweg 30–32 in the old town of Andernach – eight hundred metres from the station, one and a half kilometres from the Geyser Centre on the riverbank, sixteen from Koblenz and a good sixty from Cologne.
Our recommendation is therefore for anyone wanting to see the Middle Rhine from a town that is not Koblenz – and for anyone who accepts a hotel as a reason for the journey.
What lies within reach: the geyser on the Namedyer Werth, by boat from the Geyser Centre, which explains the eruption before one sees it; the cathedral with its four 13th-century towers, five minutes; and the Alte Krahnen, the Rhine crane of 1561, on the bank.
For orientation: Andernach station lies on the left-bank Rhine line; to Koblenz a quarter of an hour, to Cologne and Bonn just under an hour. Cologne/Bonn airport is an hour away. In Andernach one walks; the car stays at the hotel.
The PURS Luxury Boutique Hotel Andernach offers six categories, three of them suites.
The rooms: 27 square metres in the Classic on the garden court – our recommended category –, 38 in the Deluxe to the chapel and 38 to 41 in the Deluxe on the garden court or the town.
The suites: 55 in the Premier Suite on the garden court, 62 in the Signature Suite to the cathedral and 67 in the second Signature Suite.
On the view: this hotel’s motif is the cathedral – and one category faces it, the Signature Suite at 62. The others look onto the garden court, the chapel or the town.
What applies equally to every category: breakfast for two, the upgrade on arrival subject to availability and a welcome gift.
A night at the luxury hotel in Andernach starts at 317 euros.
The suitespot benefits apply here from the first night. Included are: breakfast for two, an upgrade on arrival subject to availability and a welcome gift.
When it is loveliest: from April to October, when the geyser erupts – outside those months it rests – and the Rhine has the ships one counts from the bank. And in Advent, when the old town is small and warm.
What belongs to the Middle Rhine: Rhine in Flames, the fireworks on the river lit on several evenings every summer between Koblenz and Bonn – and Carnival, taken as seriously in Andernach as in Cologne. That is not a warning but the calendar: on those days the hotel with eleven rooms is the first to be full.
When to ask early: for Rhine in Flames, on the Carnival days and in Advent – and for the two Signature Suites on any weekend.
How long to stay: two nights for geyser, cathedral and an evening at Yoso – three if Koblenz and the castles of the Middle Rhine are added.
And whatever the date: you get the suitespot benefits in the quietest week of the year just as you do in the busiest.
The Middle Rhine begins beyond Bonn and becomes World Heritage at Koblenz – Andernach lies between, at the point where the river leaves the Neuwied basin and enters the narrows. The town is Roman, medieval and, since 2010, edible: Andernach has planted its public beds with vegetables since then, which anyone may harvest.
Personal luxury travel adviceOur travel advisors personally accompany your booking – 365 days a year, from the first offer to late check-out. Reach the suitespot VIP service via email or WhatsApp.Phone: +49 30 81452346 · hotel@suitespot.comThree things belong to it. First the geyser: carbon dioxide from the Eifel volcano that drives the water sixty metres high every two hours – the highest cold-water geyser in the world, on an island reached by boat. Second Maria Laach: the Romanesque abbey on the volcanic lake, half an hour inland, with monks who still sing. Third the Edible Town: chard by the town wall, tomatoes on the riverbank, fruit in the parks – the idea that made Andernach famous without the town intending it.
The package at this hotel is breakfast, upgrade and gift.
What our travel advisors arrange most often: the category with the view you want, for the reason stated above, the table at Yoso, because eleven rooms and one restaurant share the same guests in the evening, and the geyser slot – because the boat has fixed times and the geyser its own.
The properties in Andernach share a single loyalty program. Your booking counts within it as usual – a direct rate with points, elite nights and your status benefits, plus what suitespot adds. The most widely represented is Relais & Châteaux.
At no extra cost: you pay the same rate as booking direct with the hotel – the suitespot benefits come on top, free of charge.
