Stuttgart Hotels

Although a city known mostly for automotive industries and football, it would be a mistake to think of Stuttgart purely as some sprawling industrial heartland. The city is the capital of the Baden-Wurttemberg region of southern Germany, a region containing the Black Forest, and there are many wonderful historic towns and natural attractions within easy reach. There are deep cultural elements to the city too from the museums, galleries and performance venues to the pubs, clubs and restaurants, all infused with a characteristic friendliness with which the city is so rightly renowned. Stuttgart hotels will typically combine this warm and informal approach to hospitality with superb facilities, and efficient reliable service.

The city is well connected via national and international road, rail and air routes and in the city itself public transport is integrated and so a single travel ticket will permit the user to travel on local buses, trains and trams. The city center is fairly compact and so walking is a great way to get around and see the sights, with the most popular shops, restaurants and museums no more than a 20 minute walk away from city center Stuttgart hotels. It is an eclectic city architecturally and although over 1000 years old, historic buildings are uncommon, and perhaps all the better for it when seeking them out.

Home of the headquarters of Mercedes-Benz and Porsche these great names in automotive engineering are not just the lifeblood of the city but a part of its culture too, with both having popular museums associated with the working motor plants. The Mercedes-Benz museum, housed in a stunning modernist building, is located in the same area of the city as the stadium for VFB Stuttgart, the city's Bundesliga football club and for those looking to get an authentic Stuttgart experience it is well worth combining a visit to the museum with a football match.

There are many further cultural experiences to be had in the museums and art galleries in the city, the most notable being the State Gallery, the Contemporary Art Museum and the Modern Art Museum. Families will certainly enjoy the optical wonders of the Carl Zeiss Planetarium and the wildlife and plants of the Wilhelma Zoo, set around an 19th century Moorish style palace. Beyond the city there is the Black Forest, and the Swiss border is just an hour away. Most Stuttgart hotels will be well equipped with visitor information and services on the local and wider attractions and activities.

The right hotel for staying in the city will depend on the purposes of the visit. As might be expected from the industrial and commercial capital of the region there are many business-oriented hotels and these will offer the executive guest the full gamut of facilities and technologies for doing useful work during their stay. Business centers with secretarial and translation assistance are to be expected in the best such Stuttgart hotels, as are meeting rooms and other convention spaces, and all will have in-room technologies for internet and telephone communications in addition to the standard room comforts and amenities.

Luxury Stuttgart hotels will often have these features too, and many more for some executive down-time. Health, relaxation and fitness will be taken care of via gyms, pools, and spas and there will be superb spaces for dining and for enjoying some drinks with friends and colleagues. Smaller mid-range and budget hotels will have perfectly adequate restaurants and bars and these would be the best option for a cost-effective stay in the city or for those who simply want a great base for touring this beautiful and historic region of southern Germany.
