Where to stay in Heidelberg

Our recommendation · Bergheimer Strasse 41, 250 m from Bismarckplatz

A small, contemporary city hotel on the site of Heidelberg's old indoor swimming baths, where the name is simply the address.

The story

Built wherethe old baths stood

Bergheim 41 stands on the grounds of the Altes Hallenbad, Heidelberg's old indoor swimming baths, on the street that gives the hotel its name. It was designed as a contemporary city hotel: carefully chosen materials, a lighting concept that sets the mood, and a building put up in low-energy passive construction.

It is a deliberately small house, with short corridors and a lift that is usually yours alone, and a 45 m² planted roof garden with a view of the castle.

Kaffeekultur

Coffee fromtheir own roastery

Downstairs, the hotel's café roasts its own coffee: the espresso is a blend of three organic Arabica beans from Peru, Ethiopia and Brazil. There are homemade tarts and quiches, soups, panini and salads during the day, wine and prosecco later on, and a small shop with their coffee and chocolate to take home.
