A boutique hotel inside a half-timbered building directly on Quedlinburg's market square, named for Byzantine princess and Holy Roman Empress Theophanu, who was linked to the town's medieval abbey.
Hotel Theophano occupies a half-timbered building directly on Quedlinburg's market square, a stone's throw from the Renaissance town hall with its statue of Roland. The hotel takes its name from Theophanu, the Byzantine-born wife of Holy Roman Emperor Otto II, whose daughter later became abbess of Quedlinburg's Stiftskirche, tying the hotel's name to the town's medieval role as an imperial and religious center.
Rooms are individually furnished within the constraints of the historic timber-frame structure, and several look directly onto the market square's gabled facades. The hotel's restaurant serves regional dishes, and its central position puts every major old-town sight, including the Schlossberg castle hill and the Romanesque Stiftskirche, within a short walk.
Because it sits on the market square, the hotel is close to the twice-weekly farmers' market and the old town's main pedestrian routes, making it a convenient but occasionally lively base, particularly on weekend mornings during peak season.
