Hotel Rüden

The lovingly restored façade of the former guildhall just a stone’s throw away from the railway station makes Hotel Rüden an unmissable sight. Inside, visitors are greeted by chandeliers, stucco ceilings and dramatic staircases with a unique Baroque charm. With its six meeting rooms, including the grandiose hall itself, the hotel is also ideal for events. The historic Old Town is right on the hotel’s doorstep, offering a wide range of experiences to enjoy.

Dining at Hotel Rüden

At Hotel Rüden, we concentrate on the most important meal of the day – breakfast, of course. This is a grand tradition at Sorell Hotels. For this reason, we place great value on carefully selected products, sourcing them locally wherever possible. Hotel Rüden does not have its own restaurant, but there are a wide range of options for you to choose from close to the hotel. For lunch, dinner or an aperitif, we would be happy to recommend the best cafés, bars and restaurants in the area.

Events behind historic walls

The high ceilings, with their stucco decoration and impressive chandeliers, give the period rooms of this hotel a truly unique charm. They are ideal for holding meetings and hosting spectacular private events in picturesque surroundings.
