MANY LITTLE SOMETHINGS

is what make the Papa Rhein something special!

  • Located directly on the waterfront of the Rhine, at the entry to the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site Central-Rhine Valley
  • The Papa Rhein - Hotel & Spa is in the middle of the „Cultural Waterfront Bingen“ (area of the state horticultural show)
  • The stunning view - surrounded by vineyards. Water and the impressive panorama of the famous „Mice Tower“ in Bingen up to the longish wetlands of the Rhine
  • No weddings, no large conferences!
  • The Papa Rhein is centrally located at a place calling to start an excursion, a short trip or to relax some days. You can have lots of experiences in a short time! The hotel is equipped with noise insulating windows, passive ventilation (i.e. fresh air) and air conditioning. Therefore you will not notice the trains passing nearby and you will „sleep as if you were in your home harbor“!
  • Sometimes you will notice the low humming of the diesel engines of boats and ferries passing by. This is part of the maritime Rhine feeling - almost like being on a cruise ship!

Are you looking for absolute silence? Then take a look at DAS MARIENHÖH - located in the middle of the timber forest, at an altitude of 550 m at the entry of the new Saar-Hunsrück National Park!
