H+ Hotel Darmstadt - excellent base for visiting
Darmstadt offers visitors a varied cultural life that has achieved recognition far beyond the city’s boundaries thanks to the Mathildenhöhe artists’ colony. Its proximity to the exhibition centre of Frankfurt makes Darmstadt an attractive destination for anyone who wishes to visit Frankfurt in a business or personal capacity and prefers to stay in a city without any hustle and bustle at all. The H+ Hotel Darmstadt offers rest and relaxation. Thanks to the A5 motorway, you can enjoy excellent transport connections to Frankfurt city centre, the exhibition site and the airport. From our hotel in Darmstadt, you can explore the city’s sightseeing attractions on foot and also visit a theatre performance or concert in the evening.

Wedding Tower at the Mathildenhöhe
When you visit our hotel in Darmstadt, take a little time to discover the city’s attractions. An especially beautiful visitor attraction in the city is Mathildenhöhe with its art nouveau ensemble, which is also often referred to as the “Stadtkrone” (“City Crown”). This complex includes the Hochzeitsturm (Wedding Tower), the exhibition building, the artists’ colony museum, the artists’ houses, a plane tree grove and an open-air ground. The Luisenplatz square is the city’s central point. In the middle of it, you will find the 39-metre-tall Ludwig Monument. In the city centre, you can also visit Darmstadt’s Residential Palace, which dates back to the 13th century. In the Ratskeller, the town hall cellar restaurant, you can enjoy locally produced beer, which is also served in the beer garden in front of the Old Town Hall in summer.
Mathildenhöhe in Darmstadt is a park in the style of an English landscape garden. The garden is shaped by a large reservoir, a Russian church and the nearby artists’ colony, which also goes by the name of Mathildenhöhe.
Located on the Luisenplatz square, the Ludwig Monument, which is also known as “Langer Ludwig” (“Long Ludwig”), is the main landmark of the former residence city. The 39-metre-tall column with its bronze statue on top forms the focal point of Darmstadt.

Metropolis of Frankfurt am Main
