Göbel's SchlossHotel Prinz von Hessen in Detail
Your Wellness Hotel
Göbel’s Schlosshotel "Prinz von Hessen", nestled in the historic outer bailey of a moated castle with an original moat, offers a truly special getaway. Where once the Hessian landgraves resided, today lovingly restored castle architecture from the 15th century combines with stylish 5-star comfort. The expansive estate with majestic gardens, exceptional themed rooms, and a warm ambiance creates a sense of deceleration and elegance upon arrival.
Location & Surroundings
The hotel is located in the charming spa town of Friedewald, surrounded by forests and gentle hills – perfect for relaxing nature experiences. Beautiful trails for hiking and cycling start right from the hotel. The spa town of Bad Hersfeld with its famous abbey ruins is just about 5.6 miles away.
Dining & Leisure
At the Castle Hotel, guests are treated to a diverse gourmet cuisine deeply rooted in the region, featuring fresh ingredients from its own herb garden. The day starts with a lavish breakfast buffet offering regional specialties, coffee, tea, juices, and sparkling wine. Depending on occupancy, lunch and dinner options include a set menu, dinner buffet, or à la carte. The extended half board additionally includes an afternoon snack buffet with hot beverages. Vegetarian, gluten-free, or lactose-free dishes are available upon request.
The fine-dining restaurant "THE JOY" blends top regional products with international sophistication. Other stylish dining options like the sunlit "Castle Garden", the quaint "Prince's Room", or the elegant "Conservatory Restaurant" provide culinary diversity at a high level. For light meals in between, the Crystal Spa Bistro and the uniquely designed "Seven Degrees Bar" are available. Cooking classes, kitchen parties, and private events complete the culinary experience.
