Zum Ritter

Hotel zum Ritter st. George is one of the few houses still standing after the Wars of Succession. This Renaissance monument was erected in 1592 by Charles Belier and his wife. He created this ornate and lavish hotel to lure pedestrians in as they walk along the main street towards the castle during medieval times. It is one of the most well-known buildings in Heidelberg, definitely a main attraction when walking on Hauptstraße! This historic hotel is still well-preserved after countless renovations. Although a  new addition has been built behind the old hotel, you still feel like you are in the Renaissance period with a modern twist. There are two restaurants here, the Ritterstube and the Beiler. The Ritterstube is located in the old building, you can't help but notice the romantic ambience given off by the lavish carvings and ornate architecture that surrounds you when you enter- it resembles much like the king's parlor.
