Mannheim Hotels

As the second largest city in Germany, Mannheim attracts thousands of business and leisure visitors every year. Located in the state of Baden-WÃ¼rttemberg at the confluence of the rivers Rhine and Neckar, this city started life in the 17th century as a small fishing village constructed at the site of a fortress built to guard the confluence of the rivers. Mannheim hotels cater for the huge influx of annual visitors and with plenty of three star hotels, bed and breakfasts and country home accommodation to luxurious four star hotels, there is something to suit all tastes and budgets.

The remnants of the fortification played a role in Mannheim's grid-like city layout where streets are not named but labeled with a grid reference. The city became famous as a royal residence and was the home of many of Germany's famous sons such as Schiller, Lessing, Goethe and Mozart. Unfortunately, due to its industrial significance the city was extensively bombed during World War II resulting in the replacing of the old quarter with a modern urban development with buildings typical of the 1950's.

Mannheim hotels are perfectly situated for visitors to take in the city sights. The main route through Mannheim, also known as the "Town of Squares" due to its grid-like pattern, runs through the city to an enormous 18th century palace which today houses the University of Mannheim. The Art-Nouveau style water tower is the city's main landmark and a favorite place for a picnic on a sunny day. The Luisenpark is one of Europe's most beautiful while the pedestrian-only city center is full of restaurants, cafes and a myriad of wonderful shops. The magnificent original Steinmeyer Organ with its 8000 pipes at the Christuskirche is not to be missed while museums and art gallery's tell the story of the city through the centuries.
