The Imperial City Hotel & Restaurant

A love story of then and now in the middle of the Ortenau.

28 June 2021


Where once the brewery of the Benedictine monastery of St. Maria in Gengenbach was located, we now find a place that is dedicated to well-being, soul massages and far-reaching views - a four-star hotel that combines tradition and modernity to perfection: The Imperial City of Gengenbach.

Holiday feelings kissed from anno dazumal

Built in the 17th century, Die Reichsstadt is located in a picturesque side street in the centre of Gengenbach. A hideaway for vacation and business, the hotel and restaurant combine the flair of times past with the amenities of today. Old stones and half-timbering from the 16th century combined with high-quality design, style and beauty bring this wondrous spot to life. A place that gives strength, inspires and where hospitality is lived.

With courage and style

The 13-year renovation has made Die Reichsstadt what it is today. The host couple loves modern design as much as almost forgotten traditions. With a lot of finesse, each room was created in a completely unique design and creates a feeling of well-being in its own way. The four suites and 26 rooms exude their own charm, always accompanied by clean lines with old wood floors and exceptional bathrooms.

Many roads lead to happiness

The Ortenau itself is just as varied as the leisure opportunities. Cheerful half-timbered houses with wooden shutters in winding alleys, defiant turrets with stork nests, artistically forged inn signs and flower-adorned stone boxes: what seems like a historically dreamy film set becomes reality here. Culture enthusiasts get their money's worth, sports fans find hiking, biking and walking trails. Whether narrow paths or wide panoramic trails - the choice is huge.

Those looking for relaxation are also on the right track here: the hotel's own wellness area is a little kingdom of its own, where you can enjoy sweating on the lower floor - on the upper floor you can unwind and fill up on B6 and B12 vitamins and happiness hormones under the daylight lamp.

So close to paradise

The open-air spaces in Die Reichsstadt Hotel & Restaurant in Gengenbach are unique: garden lounge to chill out, an open wellness terrace and: A fantastically beautiful garden. Surrounded by lavender and hydrangeas to your heart's content, the epicurean heart begins to dance late now - because: Once you have taken a seat here, you will not want to get up again so quickly. And why should they? Deceleration is the order of the day here, when the starry sky above us and the stones of the old walls below us enchant so much that everything is more like a dream.

Holistically relaxed

The SPA of the hotel is also convincing: saunas with beautiful old wood, infrared cabins, herbal steam bath and much more invite you to dream. Highlights are the new heated bio outdoor pool, which does without chlorine, the pool lounge and the outdoor saunas. Daylight lamps provide the necessary serotonin in winter. A place to unwind!

The newly remodeled spa area and pool leave no wellness wishes unfulfilled!
