A MOMENT FOR YOURSELF AT VAN DER VALK HOTEL HILDESHEIM

Right from arrival you can see you’ve chosen the right destination. Here you’ll find a hotel with plenty of character. This place has a remarkable history that dates back to the fifteenth century. During the Second World War the city of Hildesheim was heavily destroyed. The city was quickly rebuilt, but the beautiful cityscape had disappeared. Many people regretted that, and in the early eighties it was therefore decided to rebuild all the buildings around the market square in their original appearance. Fortunately, because thanks to that traditional German half-timbered style the hotel has a unique and almost fairy-tale-like appearance. At Hotel Hildesheim you will of course find all modern comforts and facilities. The hotel has also been awarded 4 stars superior by the German hotel classification.

OUT AND ABOUT

After a pleasant welcome you can unwind from your journey with coffee and a traditional German cake. Ready to head out? From the hotel you can walk straight into the centre with sights and shops. In Hildesheim you will find many museums and churches, such as the large cathedral with the city's attraction and symbol: a thousand‑year‑old rosebush. If you dare, climb the high tower of St. Andrew's Church for a fantastic view as far as the Harz Mountains. The surroundings also offer plenty of opportunities for enjoyable day trips, such as the Fagus Factory in Alfeld, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the Kunstmuseum Schloss Derneburg.

RELAX IN THE WELLNESS

You can then relax in the hotel's new luxury wellness area. With a swimming pool, sauna, two infrared chairs and a beauty salon for facial treatments and shoulder and neck massages, you'll find everything here to unwind. For a refreshing boost to your body, jump under the cold-water shower. Prefer to warm up? Then you can head to the new fitness center for a pleasant workout. On the cardio and strength machines you can even log in with your own gym account, if you've done that kind of training before. In addition, restaurant Gildehaus is a nice place after a day out. The professional kitchen team works with regional and seasonal products. The menu changes regularly, so with each visit you're surprised by flavorful, traditional and contemporary dishes. End the day in the cozy hotel bar Stadtschenke, which is certainly lively and busy at the weekend. There you can enjoy the best cocktails, wines, beer and non-alcoholic drinks.

COZY SCENE

You stay overnight in one of the 125 comfortable hotel rooms. Some rooms overlook the large market square, others the inner courtyard. In the morning, of course, an extensive breakfast buffet is ready. For people in the region too, Hotel Hildesheim is a popular spot for lunch or dinner, a cozy drink, or to watch the hustle and bustle of the market from the terrace. That terrace is on the sunny side of the square, so even in winter people like to sit here. Especially on Wednesdays and Saturdays there is plenty to see, because then there is a market with lots of food, flowers and trinkets. Settle in with a snack and a drink and enjoy everything around you. At Hotel Hildesheim you can really get away for a while!
