Hotel Ritter Durbach  

In Durbach, the Black Forest wine‑growing town tucked between the Rhine plain and the woods. This family‑run 4‑star hotel sits in a rural, vineyard‑side spot minutes from the Central‑North Black Forest Nature Park, Andreas Laible and Schloss Staufenberg. A luxury, spa hotel that’s also pet‑friendly.

Housed in a building first mentioned in 1656, Hotel Ritter Durbach mixes historic character with modern design. The 86 individually decorated rooms feature minibars, TVs/DVD players and bathrobes, with light, cozy interiors and nods to local history and artwork.

Pamper yourself in the spa with massages, facials and body treatments, or take a dip in the indoor pool and hot tub; there’s also a sauna, steam room, fitness center and a quiet library. The property includes an attached winery, a lobby fireplace, concierge service, free parking, elevator and a 24‑hour front desk—wake up to vineyard mornings.

Conference hall and business center for meetings and events, plus complimentary wireless internet and concierge support. Train‑station pickup and roundtrip airport shuttle are available for an additional charge.

Makidan restaurant serves Modern European cuisine and the bar/lounge pours regional Black Forest wines from the on‑site winery. Limited‑hour room service is available for quieter nights in.
