Burghotel Auf Schönburg

The house

The Schönburg is the castle that can be seen above Oberwesel, on the left bank of the Rhine, between Bacharach and St. Goar. Inside there is a four-star hotel with 31 rooms and suites, which the hotel calls Burgkemenaten, castle chambers, each decorated in its own way. It is the special night of the trip to the valley: sleeping behind the walls, with the Rhine below, and dining without leaving the castle. Besides the hotel there is a garden, a museum in the tower and two restaurants: Zum Mundschenk, à la carte, and the Schönburger Weinstuben.

Rooms and prices

The price includes a buffet breakfast with house jams. All rooms are non-smoking. The hotel publishes its rates in a downloadable document; they do not appear on the page, so we do not give them. A child up to age 13 on an extra bed pays €30 a night with breakfast; from 14, €60. The cot is free. Check-in is from 15:30 and check-out until 11:30. Animals are not admitted anywhere in the hotel.

Getting there and parking

The car does not reach the door. In front of the castle there are two free car parks for guests and restaurant customers, with no reserved spaces. From there you walk about 150 m over cobbles. The hotel carries luggage up from 8:00 to 11:30 and from 15:00 to 19:30, provided it does not exceed 25 kg. Without a car, Oberwesel station is on the Mainz–Koblenz line, down in the village, and you have to walk up or take a taxi.

What is nearby

Oberwesel keeps a good part of its wall with towers on the riverbank. The KD boat stops in the village and, on the 2026 timetable, reaches St. Goar in 35 minutes, passing beneath the Loreley. Bacharach is a few minutes away by train to the south.
