The town of Ballenstedt, which can look back on a past full of history, is nestled within the beautiful countryside between the forest mountains of the Unterharz. The Schlosshotel Ballenstedt Van der Valk, which makes part of the old castle opposite the historic theatre, was opened in the 18th century for the guests of the royal house. Later, in 1996-1997, the establishment was demolished and after its complete reconstruction it glistens in its renewed splendour.
This four-star hotel provides all comforts you would expect. Its 50 rooms and suites have been arranged with a lot of love for the detail and come with luxurious bathrooms and modern amenities, such as radio, TV, WLAN, mini bar and hair-dryer. Exclusive, stylish furniture, harmonious colours and elegant accessories create a wonderful relaxing atmosphere.
The restaurant Fürst Victor offers contemporary light cuisine and international surprises. All dishes are served in elegant surroundings with tasteful design, ideal for festive occasions. The winter garden is the perfect venue to escape from everyday life and sip a long drink in winter as well, while enjoying the Mediterranean flair.
Guests profit from a swimming pool, sauna and solarium for active relaxation. Guided walking tours, carriage rides in the romantic Selke valley, cultural and historical highlights, such as a visit of the Falkenstein castle, the town of Quedlinburg or the collegiate church Gernrode will all enhance further the quality of your stay in this unique countryside.
