Hotel Kronenschlösschen in Eltville

Nov. 2025 • COUPLES
The Kronenschlösschen is one of our absolutely favourite restaurants. We have been going there for 20 years or so and have seen many changes and phases.
There is a new chef in the kitchen and we experienced the ’soft opening‘. The food has a freshness and a lightness which is, frankly, amazing. Gone are the heavy cream-laden offerings which are so often to be found in restaurants that call themselves the best.
Instead the balance between herbs and the underlying base offering was expert and to be found in every course.
On arrival, we were served an excellent champagne, followed by a Riesling Spätlese from 1998, both excellent in their own way, and fitting to the food to be served. Thereafter wines were recommended, but were by no means essential. I, as a philistine, was happy to continue with mineral water, the experts drank the wine and thoroughly enjoyed them.
The Kronenschlösschen has always been famed for its wine list, rightly so. The experts, of which I am decidedly not one, wax lyrical over the breadth and depth of the wines on offer, which can suit every palate and (almost) every budget.
The staff were attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. They were able to give, or find the answers for, every question we had. Even if by asking, we expressed our ignorance. They made us feel comfortable and wanted, from the moment we handed in our coats on arrival, to the end when they were retrieved again.
Johanna Ullrich, the owner, and her team worked hard to ensure that everything ran smoothly. Making service look effortless takes very hard work and great skill.
We throughly and wholeheartedly recommend the Kronenschlösschen as somewhere to go for special occasions. You will be seriously impressed.

The location is amazing. Strongly suggest a visit to the nearby restaurant Chamame

Kronenschlösschen is one of our absolute favorite restaurants. The food is excellent and is always well presented. The staff is professional and friendly. The sommelier is one of Germany‘s best and his team can be relied upon to make a great recommendation. The Kronenschlösschen has a world class wine cellar, which is nationally and internationally renowned. Many people visit purely for the wines, though it would be a shame not to relish the work of the prize winning chef. Finally, the garden is delightful and is a real pleasure to sit and fine peace in.

This is a very charming hotel, we stayed here for 1 night in May 2025. The suite is on the 3rd floor with seating area and marbled bathroom. We love the small touches such as fruits in the room as well as sherry. The wonderful young man helped to carry our luggage to the room, as there's no elevator. Note that there's no AC as well although we didn't need it. Location is perfect to explore the Rheingau. The food at the restaurant is amazing as well.

It's a unique property, built in the 19th century. The suite is on the 3rd floor, the staff was very helpful to move our luggage to and from the room, as there's no elevator. There's no AC in the room, it wasn't necessary in May. The bathroom is clean and luxurious with soaking tub and shower. There's no drinking water provided in the room, bottled water is available in the mini bar. Location is in between Drosselgrasse and Eltville. The restaurant is amazing.

I stayed only one night. Hotel is classy. Rooms are decorated nicely. This is a historic place. Breakfast was great too. Staff was very friendly. Location was great too. It s very close to the Rhein. In winter the value was great. Would come back again.

Best meal ever! Great cuisine and a superlative waiter. Highly recommend their restaurant.

Excellent stay right on the Rhine River. Clean rooms and walking distance to great restaurants

Krnonenschlosschen is a beautiful and charming hotel. It has refined style that reflects the beauty and charm of the Rhine Valley. The staff was very kind and helpful, and the hotel's restaurant provided a phenomenal dining experience.
