Arcadia Hotel Amberg

A Quieter Side of Bavaria

Amberg is the kind of Bavarian town most international travellers haven't yet heard of — and the locals are quietly happy about that. A nearly intact 14th-century oval wall, a perfectly preserved late-medieval old town, twin arched bridges over the River Vils that form a figure-eight when reflected (the famous Stadtbrille, or "spectacles"), a former seat of the Prince-Electors of the Upper Palatinate, and a position on the historic Golden Road trade route between Nuremberg and Prague. Once you've walked it, you understand why Amberg is sometimes called the Bavarian Egg.

Arcadia Hotel Amberg sits a short walk from the old town wall — close enough to leave the car parked and explore on foot, far enough to be properly quiet at the end of a working day. A modern, comfortable, four-star hotel positioned between the Amberg Congress Centrum, the Kurfürstenbad spa baths, and the old town's medieval gates. The kind of place a German business traveller books on Wednesday and a couple driving through Bavaria stops at on Saturday.

Who Stays Here

• Business travellers in for the Amberg Congress Centrum, regional industry events, or meetings with the area's engineering and manufacturing firms (Grammer AG and the wider Oberpfalz business cluster)

• German and Czech weekend leisure travellers exploring the old town and the surrounding Upper Palatinate

• Couples on a slower Bavarian itinerary — Amberg, Regensburg, Bamberg, Rothenburg, Nuremberg combined into a road trip

• Bavaria-and-Czech travellers crossing the border at Furth im Wald or Waidhaus, using Amberg as a quieter base than Nuremberg

• Conference attendees at the Congress Centrum, where the hotel's location offers a useful alternative to the larger venue hotels

• International travellers seeking a less-touristed Bavarian town as an alternative to overcrowded Rothenburg or Bamberg
