Ulm is a city in the German federal state of Baden-Württemberg, situated on the River Danube.
Ulm’s Gothic minster (Ulmer Münster) with the world's highest church steeple (161.53 meters/529 feet high, 768 steps) towers above the city.
Ulm hotel guests may enjoy the wonderful view over the city and its hotels from the top of the minster’s tower. While staying at a hotel in Ulm you might also have a look at the sacral building’s interior. The magnificently decorated 15th century choir stalls, made from oak and adorned with hundreds of carved busts, are among the most famous pews of the Gothic period.
Directly adjacent to the minster you will find the Stadthaus, a house for public events, built by Richard Meier. Ulm’s hotel guests will be able to enjoy great and interesting concerts and lectures there.
Ulm’s most idyllic sites can be found at the fisher and tanner district, where you will see Ulm’s probably most curious hotel, the “Schiefes Haus” (Leaning House).
