What travelers say:
(Schlosshotel Kronberg)
In September 1888, Queen Victoria bought a 100-acre plot of land in Kronberg and built a Victorian-style palace as her widow's residence. In memory of her husband, she called the residence Schloss Friedrichshof. After Queen Victoria died in 1901, the palace was passed on to her youngest daughter.
During World War II, the palace was used by the US military as troop housing and as the residence of General Eisenhower, the commander-in-chief of the US military. General Eisenhower and his entourage lived here for seven years, during which time he designed and converted the gardens around the palace into a
18-hole standard golf course, which is one of the most beautiful golf courses in Germany. A tourist wandered around, looking at the magnificent palace and the quiet and endless green space, and said, "After seeing this golf course, I regretted for the rest of my life that I can't play golf!"
General Eisenhower later became the 34th President of the United States.
Since 1954, the palace has been turned into a five-star hotel, one of the "Small Luxury Hotels of the World". The hotel rooms are still furnished with original furniture and artworks from the royal collection, and there is also a well-preserved royal library in the hotel.
The hotel's restaurant is open to the public, and you don't have to stay in the hotel to dine. When dining, you are sitting in a real palace, tasting authentic multi-course Western-style meals, and enjoying careful and meticulous service. It's like you have become an aristocrat. #MeetOriginalGermany 🇩🇪 #GermanyTravel #GermanTown #GermanFrankfurt #MostBeautifulGolfCourt

Wonderful restaurant in a beautiful ambience with great service and exceptional dishes and a great wine selection. I can highly recommend the restaurant.
Wonderful restaurant. Great service and outstanding food in an amazing ambiance! Simply stunning. One of the top restaurants. Tables are spaces wide apart, which provides lots of privacy.
The level of service is just not up to the level you would except for this kind of restaurant. Food was average but the level of service was one out of ten. It took 1,5 hours for them to serve the appaetizer and the soup.
Wow! We were impressed by the many original creations. The fine dining is outstanding and recommended, the service and kitchen team delivered a fantastic performance from A to Z, everything was just perfect. We are already looking forward to our next experiences here.
