Wald- & Schlosshotel Friedrichsruhe Introduces a New Restaurant Concept

Built around 300 years ago in the late Renaissance style and intended as an illustrious guest house for the princely Hohenlohe family. Today the heart of the Wald & Schlosshotel Friedrichsruhe is the hunting lodge. Next to it are another four unique buildings embedded in a 473,000 square foot castle park with historic trees. This five-star superior hotel between Heidelberg and Stuttgart, picturesquely located in the idyllic Hohenlohe region, is more than a luxurious hideaway: it is a gourmet stronghold where the award-winning two-Michelin star chef Boris Rommel pampers his guests with culinary delights in five restaurants.

Chef Rommel has expanded the restaurant concept and is performing some of his culinary art in front of the guests. He tastefully serves dishes such as finger food on self-designed deer antlers, ceramic pillows or a sole carcass. On self-restored carts decorated with gold leaf, the hobby craftsman carves and fillets and then flambés a Crêpe Suzette. At the next table he pours broth made from ox horns. The presentation of the dishes, be it Lothar Eiermann's famous goose liver bundt cake or a classic quail crepinette, surrounded by a pumpkin variation and mirabelle plum jus, is given an incomparably individual and personal touch.

The Wald & Schlosshotel Friedrichsruhe has a well-regarded golf school and is considered one of the best wellness hotels. In an area of 47,000 square feet, the spa offers relaxation and beauty at the highest level, for which it has already received several international awards.
