There for you since 1958!
About the origins of our Schloss-Hotel
It was in January 1958 when Karl and Lisa Hartmann opened the doors of the Schloss-Hotel in Schlossstraße in Herborn for the first time – at that time still on the basis of a lease. The house had 21 hotel rooms. Just six years later, the hotel passed into the ownership of the Hartmann family.
Since then, the hotel has been repeatedly rebuilt, expanded and modernised. Standstill is regression, was the motto of hotel founder Karl Hartmann. And so the popular hotel and restaurant in the city centre was brought up to today’s standards in several stages.
