Chroniken von Weimar
Weimar, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was founded in 950 AD by the Ottonian dynasty. The city's architectural evolution is a testament to its rich history, with influences from the Romanesque, Baroque, and Art Nouveau styles. Weimar played a pivotal role in the Enlightenment and the German Enlightenment, earning it the nickname 'the Athens on the Ilm'. Today, the city is a cultural hub, boasting the famous Bauhaus University, the Weimar National Theatre, and an impressive collection of museums, including the German National Museum. Visitors can still feel the legacy of the city's most famous resident, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, who lived and worked here throughout his life.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Kaiserin Augusta, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a higher floor (above 3rd) for a quieter stay, as the hotel is located on a relatively busy street and rooms on lower floors may be subject to street noise. Additionally, being on a higher floor will also minimize the noise from the lift.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms facing the street side (Carl-August-Allee) as they may be more prone to noise from traffic and pedestrians. Rooms near the lift may also be noisier due to frequent use.
Best views
Rooms on the higher floors (4 and above) may offer views of the surrounding city, but this cannot be confirmed without more detailed information about the hotel's room layout and orientation.
Quietest floors
Floors 4 and above are likely to be quieter due to the hotel's layout and distance from the street.
