"Located at the foot of the Hardenberg castle ruins, a thousand-year-old clifftop monument that rises up majestically in the Palatinate Forest, Relais & Châteaux Hardenberg BurgHotel has a privileged location on the grounds of an ancient estate. The noble family abandoned the castle in the 18th century, around the same time the hotel was built — but the old distillery, tavern, and castle park are still in operation, and Hardenberg BurgHotel is the perfect base from which to enjoy them. With its red-shingled roof and half-timbered gables, the beautifully restored building exudes fairytale charm, and inside, it’s refined but cozy, with native wood flooring, exposed stone walls, and antique furnishings." - Tablet Hotels
