Luxury hotels in Baden-Baden with history – and awarded Michelin Keys
The story of the Brenners Park Hotel Baden-Baden begins in 1872, when Anton Alois Brenner bought the Stéphanie-les-Bains on the Lichtentaler Allee; his son Camille turned it into a grand hotel of renown. In 1941 Rudolf-August Oetker bought the hotel, the first of today’s Oetker Hotels. After the Franco-German treaty talks of 1962, it was hailed as the “Cradle of Europe.”
The Maison Messmer Baden-Baden is older still: Johann Friedrich Baptist Messmer founded it next to the Kurhaus in 1834. Its guests included Queen Victoria, Empress Elisabeth of Austria, and Emperor Wilhelm I and Augusta. It reopened in 2001 after reconstruction and today belongs to Dorint’s Hommage Luxury Hotels Collection.

Hotel credit is worth a closer look. The Brenners Park Hotel Baden-Baden gives you 100 US dollars, though not with every rate, and the Maison Messmer Baden-Baden 50 €. At the Europäischer Hof it’s 50 € for food and drinks up to the Junior Suite for stays of two nights or more, and 100 € in the Premium suites. At the Roomers Baden-Baden, a welcome gift, mineral water, a coffee machine and a daily newspaper await you, and there’s a welcome gift at the Brenners too.
Points and status count at two of the four luxury hotels in Baden-Baden: Marriott Bonvoy at the Roomers Baden-Baden and H Rewards at the Steigenberger Icon Europäischer Hof Baden-Baden. The Brenners Park Hotel Baden-Baden and the Maison Messmer Baden-Baden don’t belong to a points program; there you enjoy the suitespot benefits without one.
When it’s loveliest: in spring and summer, when the Lichtentaler Allee is in bloom and the terraces are open; in autumn, when the Black Forest turns color; and in Advent, with the Christkindelsmarkt in front of the Kurhaus. The thermal baths welcome you all year. Book early for the race weeks in Iffezheim and big nights at the Festspielhaus.
How long to stay: For a 5-star hotel in Baden-Baden, we recommend two to three nights – one day for the Allee, the Kurhaus and the museums, one for spa and thermal baths, and ideally an evening at the Festspielhaus.
