  • Cultural highlights: The hotel is just a few minutes’ walk from the imposing, late-Gothic High Castle and the historic St. Mang Parish Church.
  • Tradition & Music: As the historic center of European lute and violin making, the city’s musical and artisanal heritage can be felt in many corners of the Old Town.
  • Dining & Lifestyle: Cozy cafés, traditional taverns, and our own rustic restaurant invite you to enjoy a relaxing break after a day of exploring.
  • Perfect Access: Thanks to its central location, the Altstadthotel is the ideal starting point—whether for a stroll through town, hikes along the Lech River, or excursions to the nearby royal castles of Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau.

Whether you’re savoring traditional cuisine in our restaurant or discovering the local sights, here you’ll enjoy a vacation with character. Our hotel has been a cherished part of the city for more than 350 years. For generations, the Pfeiffer family has welcomed you personally, which is why many guests have long considered the “Hechten” their second home in the Allgäu.
