Built on the grounds of the former castle of the Counts of Daun in the Vulkaneifel, this Schlosshotel occupies a hilltop position overlooking the town of Daun, offering a historic base between the Moselle valley and the Eifel volcanic lakes.
Schlosshotel Kurfürstliches Amtshaus Dauner Burg occupies the hilltop grounds of the former castle of the Counts of Daun in the Vulkaneifel region of Rhineland-Palatinate, overlooking the town of Daun and positioned between the Moselle valley and the Eifel's volcanic maar lakes. The building's history stretches back to the medieval castle that once stood on the site, with the current Schlosshotel retaining a historic tower and courtyard character within its hilltop position. Rooms include Classic Rooms, Tower Rooms set within the building's older structure, and Suites, several with views over the surrounding countryside. The in-house restaurant serves regional Eifel cuisine, complemented by a hotel bar, with a terrace and gardens used for outdoor dining and relaxation in warmer months. The hotel does not operate a spa or pool, focusing instead on its historic setting and access to the Vulkaneifel's hiking and lake landscape, including the nearby maar lakes and the Eifel volcano trail. On-site parking supports travelers arriving by car to explore the wider region. The property suits travelers seeking a quiet, historic base for touring the Eifel's volcanic landscape rather than a full-service resort stay, with a service style geared toward independent sightseeing and countryside walks rather than business travel or families needing extensive amenities.
