Adults-Only Hotels in Hesse

Adults-only hotels in Hesse: Peace and quiet between the Taunus, Rheingau and Rhön

Hesse lies in the heart of Germany, which makes getting there especially straightforward. The A3, A5 and A7 get you there quickly from almost any direction, while Frankfurt Airport makes travelling from many European cities easier. If you arrive by train, you get off in Frankfurt, Kassel-Wilhelmshöhe or Wiesbaden, with the uplands almost right on your doorstep. Adults Oasis lists six adults-only hotels in Hesse: all child-free and designed for adult guests.

What makes Hesse particularly appealing for a stay without children's noise is the mix of experiences. Frankfurt and Wiesbaden are within easy reach, but as soon as you drive into the Taunus, the Rhön or along the Bergstrasse, things become peaceful. You will not find this close combination of city and nature everywhere.

Wellness and spa: Hesse's spa tradition

Hesse is spa country. Bad Homburg, Bad Nauheim, Bad Wildungen and Bad Orb do not carry “Bad” in their names by chance: people have been taking spa cures here for generations. Hesse's spa tradition shapes the region, although specific wellness facilities vary from hotel to hotel. For couples, it is precisely the child-free atmosphere that makes the difference. You do not have to share the sauna with a family holiday group, and the pool stays quiet.

Romance and good food in the Rheingau

If you enjoy wine, the Rheingau is your place. The steep vineyards above the Rhine between Wiesbaden and Rüdesheim are among Germany's best-known Riesling regions, and a walk through the vines with a glass of wine in the evening is the kind of romance that needs no staging. Eberbach Abbey and the small wineries invite you to tastings, all without the rush.

Hesse has more to offer gastronomically than its reputation might suggest. Of course, green sauce, Handkäse and apple wine are part of the region, but Frankfurt and the Rheingau in particular have an ambitious food scene that takes regional ingredients seriously.

Nature and activities: Uplands without mass tourism

Hesse is surprisingly green. The Taunus with the Großer Feldberg, the Spessart as one of Germany's largest contiguous forest areas, the Rhön with its wide high plateaux and the Odenwald in the south: these are landscapes where you can hike, cycle and simply take a deep breath without finding yourself in a crowd.

• Hiking and e-biking in the Taunus, Spessart and Rhön
• Wine trails in the Rheingau with views across the Rhine
• Stargazing in the Rhön, one of the darkest areas in the region
• Culture in Frankfurt, Kassel with its Documenta tradition and along the Bergstrasse

Best time for your adults-only holiday in Hesse

Hesse works well all year round, but the focus shifts with the seasons. In May and June, when the traditional orchards are in bloom and the uplands are fresh and green, hiking is at its best. Late summer and early autumn belong to the Rheingau: the grape harvest is under way, the slopes take on colour and the wine villages are in season. In winter, the thermal baths and spas are especially appealing, when the uplands lie peacefully outside and you can stay warm indoors. If you prefer things especially quiet, come during the week outside the school holidays.
