Promise of Quality
The land of Hohenlohe is known as the delicacies-counter of Baden-Württemberg. That is why we have the best products right on our door steps, and serve them to our guests as delicious dishes.
Sustainable cuisine, comfort and quality – these are our guiding principles. We have respect for the environment and nature and give our best to ensure our high standards and local seasonal produce. Having all our producers sourced locally means it is not too far a drive to arrive. We always get fresh products of best quality.
The rich breakfast-buffet in the morning is already packed with wonderful products from Hohenlohe: delightful fresh bread that was baked at the nearby “Hofgut Hermersberg” bakery, homemade jams of best quality from our kitchen, selected sorts of cheese from local farms, exquisite ham and sausages from local butchers. Those are only a few of Boris Rommel’s favorites.
Our wine cellert is filled with finest wines of traditional wine makers who press the red and white grapes of the wine yards of Hohenlohe – to name a few: Trollinger, Schwarzriesling, Lemberger, Spätburgunder, Samtrot, Muskat-Trollinger or white wines like Riesling, Müller-Thurgau, Silvaner, Kerner, Traminer, Muskateller, Weißburgunder and Grauburgunder.
By the way: Boris Rommel also likes to use the flavorful wild herbs that grow in the garden of the hotel in his dishes.
Here are a few of our local producers:
Hofgut Hermersberg • Kaffeehaus Hagen • Dorfkäserei Geifertshofen • Herbert Merz Fischerei
