Fodor's Expert Review Burghotel Auf Schönburg

Antique furnishings and historic rooms—a library, chapel, and prison tower—make for an unforgettable stay at this lovingly restored hotel and restaurant in the 12th-century Schönburg Castle complex that seems pulled right out of a storybook. The restaurant (closed Monday), has a Rhine view and terrace seating in the castle's courtyard; the experience is further enhanced by the extraordinarily friendly and personal service. If you have only a night or two in the area, this hotel's first-rate lodging, food, and wine make it a great place to splurge.
