Who says that an overnight stay is just a means to an end? These seven unusual places to stay in Baden-Württemberg turn sleeping itself into a travel experience. Nestled among rustling forests, sunny vineyards, or historic walls, you will find places where you not only dream, but also experience stories.
Sleeping Adevnturously– a Night Under the Stars
Hotels are everywhere, but who wants four walls when it’s so much more spectacular under millions of stars? In the trekking camps of the Odenwald, Black Forest, and Upper Danube Nature Park, the day ends with a crackling campfire and chirping crickets before you slip into your sleeping bag. It gets even more extraordinary in Bad Peterstal-Griesbach, where you can spend the night in an original Mongolian yurt (a type of tent), or in the Remstal valley, where a floating tree tent dangles between the branches. There’s no minibar here, but the scent of damp moss and fresh forest air is included free of charge.

Sleeping Among the Vines – Wine & a Feel-Good Atmosphere
There are places where the evening never ends too late – for example, at the “Weinsüden Hotels.” Here, you don’t just stay overnight, you celebrate the best of Baden-Württemberg’s wine world. Hosts with a genuine love of fine wines know exactly which vintages are perfect for dinner and which wineries are a must-visit. In the morning, instead of filter coffee, you might be treated to a glass of Riesling sparkling wine while the vineyards glisten in the morning sun. A night that lingers – and not just because of that last glass by the fireplace.
Sleep with Country Flair – Farmhouse Romance and Fresh Country Air
Cocks crowing, bees buzzing, and a breakfast table smelling of fresh eggs and homemade jam – every morning is a nature experience on Baden-Württemberg’s farms. Guests can watch the winemaker at work, help with milking, or relax amid blossoming orchards. Some farms are located on the edge of the forest, others directly on the vineyard or on rolling hills reminiscent of Tuscany. One thing is certain: country life slows down, and the Wi-Fi is sometimes as slow as the day itself – just right for a little digital break.
Sleep in Style – Historic Charm Meets Luxury
There are hotels – and then there are the “Best of SouthWest” hotels. At these nine exclusive addresses, hospitality is an art form. Some hotels look back on centuries of history. Others surprise with modern architecture and panoramic windows that offer views of the vineyards or the Black Forest. What do they all have in common? Carefully arranged details that make your stay special. Champagne for breakfast, fluffy bathrobes, and service that fulfills your wishes before you even express them. Once you’ve slept in these beds, you’ll definitely not want to get up in the morning.

Sleeping in a Hideaway – Hideaways in the Middle of Nature
Far away from the hustle and bustle, surrounded by forests, meadows, or wide fields, are the special retreats of the south. A designer chalet nestled in the landscape, a tree house swaying between branches, or a historic half-timbered cottage with creaky floorboards – these hideaways are little escapes from everyday life. Some are so secluded that your nearest neighbor might be a deer. Perfect for anyone seeking peace and quiet and wanting to wake up and run barefoot across a dewy meadow.

Sleep Under the Stars – Camping with a Difference
Camping is no longer just about folding chairs and canned food. In Baden-Württemberg, the options range from rustic sleeping barrels and luxurious safari tents to modern campsites with all the comforts you could wish for. Whether right by a lake, with a view of vineyards or in the middle of the forest – everyone feels like an explorer here. And when the crackling of the campfire is the only sound you can hear at night, you quickly realize that the best memories are often made with minimal effort.
Sleeping in a Thermal Paradise – Wellness meets History
Baden-Württemberg and hot springs? A combination with a tradition dating back thousands of years. The Romans built their magnificent bathhouses here, and even today, many cities revolve around water. Whether in classic thermal baths with historic porticoes or modern spa temples with infinity pools, bathing here is much more than just relaxation. After a day in the steaming healing waters, falling asleep is particularly easy. Especially when your hotel room is just a few steps away.
