Heidelberg Suites

Germany’s urban centers are magnets for hospitality experiments, for cutting-edge art and design. Heidelberg, by contrast, is a trip back in time. This is the Oxford of Germany, if you like, and the university, the churches, and Heidelberg Castle are exemplars of a long-ago Germany that’s vanishingly hard to find in the more modern cities. And it’s against this historical backdrop, in this most traditional of cities, that the Heidelberg Suites must be understood.
The design, by the Italian architect Michele Bönan, looks perhaps a bit subtle for a modern-design luxury boutique, even a bit conservative, at least in photographs. But in contrast with the centuries-old architecture of the city it inhabits, this hotel offers a stunningly contemporary take on Heidelberg’s Romantic and Classical past, thanks in no small part to Bönan’s Florentine influence.
It’s a feast for the eyes, to be sure, but it’s not exactly hard on the other senses either. The suites (and yes, they’re all suites) are quite close to the apex of modern boutique luxury, with plush designer furnishings, kitchenettes with espresso makers, big indulgent bathrooms and all the usual electronic gear. There’s no restaurant, so as not to spoil the residential feeling of the place, though you’ll find any number of fine eateries in the old town, just across the river. What there is, incredibly, is a tiny gym, and a yoga and massage service — and just behind the hotel, on the hillside overlooking the river, the castle and the old town, is the famous “philosopher’s walk,” the walking trail where any number of poets, professors, and, yes, philosophers have taken their constitutionals.

What I liked:
I arrived very late after a long day of work in a nearby town. Post-work meetings had gone far too long, yet the staff made check-in and everything I needed as easy as they could.
The room was lovely - large, comfortable and clean, with fabulous appointments.
Breakfast the next morning was lovely and the staff were only too happy for me to work in the library after checking out. It'd be nice if the library was full of real books rather than a facade.
Minutes from the Altbrucke and the crossing to Heidelberg's Old Town, it's a fantastic location on the quieter side of the Neckar River.
What the hotel could do better:
The only problem I had here (and at the other hotel I stayed in during my Germany trip) was that the wifi access system they use is incredibly flaky and constantly drops out. It's the only thing that brings my review down.

What I liked:
Location is beautiful and hotel is elegant and understated.
What the hotel could do better:
For a hotel of this supposed quality and price, the service (both check-in staff and maid service) was terrible. Very disappointing level of professionalism. Rooms were serviced late in the day (4 p.m.) and serviced poorly. Spiders/spider webs in all the corners of the ceilings and spiders found in the bed. Mini-bar not re-stocked properly. Check-in and wait staff not sophisticated and seemingly unconcerned with client requests. The physical property is great and should be matched by employees who elevate the Hotel, not downgrade it.

What I liked:
Pretty much everything. We arrived at the hotel from Frankfurt Intl and it was well past breakfast, but the hotel staff was kind enough to fix us something delicious anyway. The rooms were beautifully decorated and the views across the river were fantastic.
What the hotel could do better:
honestly - nothing.
