In the heart of the historic old town of Frankenberg an der Eder lies a hideaway that is more than just a place to sleep – the boutique hotel Die Sonne Frankenberg. Surrounded by charming half-timbered houses and nestled in the green hills of the Ederbergland, this is where a special symbiosis of elegance, history, hospitality, and a refined way of life unfolds.
Anyone who crosses the threshold of this hotel immediately senses: this is about more than just accommodation – it’s about relaxation, inspiration, and a holistic experience.
Hotel Die Sonne Frankenberg – A Tribute to the Past and a Promise for the Future
Hotel Die Sonne Frankenberg is both a homage to the past and a promise for the future. The lovingly restored half-timbered buildings—including the Old Brewhouse, the Town Wine House, and the 16th-century Citizen’s House—have been carefully brought together to form a hotel ensemble that breathes history while offering the highest level of modern comfort. Guests can look forward to 63 individually designed rooms and suites that combine historical charm with timeless elegance. Whether featuring exposed wooden beams, modern interiors, or Mediterranean lightness – every room tells its own story and provides a peaceful and comforting retreat.
Recharge at the Sonne Spa
A true highlight is the Sonne Spa: Covering approximately 1,000 square meters, it unfolds into an oasis of well-being. Various saunas, a steam bath, a relaxation pool, a stylish quiet zone, and a wide range of massages and beauty treatments invite guests to unwind and recharge. In the summer, treatments can also be enjoyed outdoors on the spa terrace – surrounded by birdsong and the scent of the forest. The Sonne Spa is a place of balance, where body, mind, and soul come back into harmony.
Two Restaurants, One Passion
Culinary excellence is another area where Hotel Die Sonne Frankenberg more than lives up to its outstanding reputation. Gourmets can choose between two very different restaurants that share a common goal: offering the highest level of enjoyment in every aspect.
At the Michelin-starred Restaurant Philipp Soldan, chef Erik Arnecke and his team create refined compositions using regional ingredients and international finesse. In an elegant setting, guests experience world-class haute cuisine accompanied by an exceptional wine selection from the hotel’s own cellar.
By contrast, the Sonne Stuben serves down-to-earth yet sophisticated German cuisine with seasonal highlights. Whether on the cozy terrace overlooking the imposing timber-framed town hall or inside the elegantly designed interior – the atmosphere is warm, the flavors are refined, and each dish is prepared with heartfelt passion. The culinary experience is rounded out by the Philippo Bar, which invites guests to linger with creative cocktails, fine spirits, and a wide selection of wines.
Discover the Beauty of the Ederbergland
The surroundings of the hotel are just as charming as the hotel itself. Frankenberg is located in the heart of the GrimmHeimat NordHessen, a region known for its cultural diversity, scenic beauty, and rich fairy tale traditions. The Ederbergland offers countless opportunities for active relaxation: hikers and cyclists will find well-marked trails such as the Kellerwaldsteig, the Urwaldsteig, or the Frankenberger Blickwinkel – all promising breathtaking panoramas and idyllic nature experiences.
The region also offers plenty in terms of culture: nearby attractions like Waldeck Castle at Lake Edersee, the Kellerwald National Park Center, or the historic fairy tale towns of Marburg and Kassel make for exciting day trips. For those seeking tranquility, the peaceful atmosphere of Frankenberg’s narrow lanes, its local artisans, cozy cafés, and weekly markets offer a more relaxed way to explore.
Hospitality from the Heart
Hotel Die Sonne Frankenberg sees itself as a host with heart and vision. Whether it’s a wellness retreat, a romantic weekend, an active getaway, or a culinary event – the hotel offers the perfect setting for any occasion. With warm, attentive service that is always discreet yet ever-present, every guest immediately feels welcome. Events like kitchen parties, themed evenings, or wine tastings add seasonal highlights and turn every stay into a special experience.
Die Sonne is more than a hotel – it’s a place for memories. A space where the senses come alive, where silence is not emptiness but a source of renewal. A house that impresses with its architecture, touches with its atmosphere, and delights with its hospitality.
Those who visit once are sure to return – because true relaxation isn’t found just anywhere, but where the sun lives in your heart.
