Motel One Karlsruhe

Discover Karlsruhe from the design hotel

Welcome to Karlsruhe, a captivating city in the heart of Baden-Württemberg. It has many faces and only a short urban history. Quality of life is high and the region is booming. We would be delighted if you spent your stay in our affordable hotel in order to explore this fascinating city. Immerse yourself in the rich history, the cultural gems and the modern amenities that Karlsruhe has to offer outside the hotel – using our design hotel as the perfect base and the following tips.

Germany’s hotspot

Composer Richard Wagner’s impression: ‘Karlsruhe is very cheap, pleasant and friendly.’ That’s what he wrote in 1861 during his visit with his wife Minna, and it’s an opinion that still applies to the present day. It’s definitely got something to do with the pleasant climate: Karlsruhe is one of the warmest and sunniest cities in Germany. But it’s the warmth of the people above all else that attracts visitors.

Karlsruhe was founded almost 300 years ago by Margrave Karl III. Wilhelm of Baden-Durlach. According to legend, the idea of a city laid out in a radial shape came to him in his sleep. And so the idea of the fan was born. The centre is formed by the majestic Karlsruhe Palace, with 32 streets leading out from it. It’s a lavish Baden residence that has previously impressed the likes of Voltaire, Goethe, Napoleon and Heinrich von Kleist during their travels.

Historic gems

The residential palace is a real highlight and sits enthroned like a fairy-tale castle in the middle of magnificent gardens above the city centre. It is home to the Baden State Museum with its extensive collection of artworks and historic artefacts. Its impressive façade also conceals a rich history, which you can discover during a guided tour.

Another jewel of Karlsruhe is the Badisches Staatstheater, where first-class opera, theatre and ballet productions are staged. Delve into the world of performing arts and prepare to be entertained. The best part is that the theatre is located in the centre, just five minutes away from the hotel.

Federal Constitutional Court and legal history

For those with an interest in the German legal system, the Federal Constitutional Court is an absolute must. Visit this historic location and find out more about the significance and role of the court, which ensures the constitutional nature of laws. A few minutes away from the hotel on the tram is the University of Applied Sciences, which started teaching in 1825. Our centrally located hotel offers an excellent connection to these prominent attractions.

Our hotels – accommodation at an affordable price in the perfect location

Our hotel doesn’t just provide comfortable rooms and a first-class service, it also occupies an unbeatable location in the centre: the hotels are situated in the heart of the city, in the immediate vicinity of the top attractions. The convention centre is also within easy reach. That means you can easily explore the city centre on foot both day and night, while also benefiting from ideal connections to public transport, including the main train station and the airport. The closest station is Ettlinger Tor.

Affordable rooms: a matter of course at our hotels

We are proud to be recognised as a design hotel. Enjoy the comfort of our hotels in modern and elegantly designed rooms. Every room is intended to offer a relaxed atmosphere. With an overnight stay in our clean accommodation, you’re not just booking a restful sleep, you’re also getting modern amenities like free wifi, so you can remain connected with the world both inside and outside the hotel.

Culinary delights and relaxation

Start your day with a delicious breakfast from the buffet in the hotel. Try local specialities and organic delicacies that will be a real treat for your taste buds. Our bar offers a wide range of drinks and is the ideal place in the hotel to unwind after an action-packed day in the city – and it also has an unrivalled view. The One Lounge, on the other hand, doesn’t just encourage you to relax, but also to work at the same time. Desks set up specifically for that purpose make for a pleasant environment in which to be productive.

For friends of good taste, it’s worth stepping outside the hotel to see what the rest of the city has to offer in terms of cuisine. The much-praised Baden cuisine serves up numerous specialities at affordable prices – for example, German pancake soup. And if you’re looking for something irresistible, there’s always a slice of Black Forest gateau.
