Expect a compact, tidy lobby with a warm welcome and a decent breakfast spread.

Cronache di Trier
Trier, Germany's oldest city, was founded by the Celts around 500 BC and later became a Roman colony, earning it the nickname 'Second Rome'. The city's rich history is evident in its well-preserved Roman architecture, including the Porta Nigra gate and the Imperial Baths. As the oldest city in Germany, Trier has a unique cultural identity shaped by its Roman heritage and its status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visitors can explore the city's well-preserved Roman ruins, visit the 12th-century Trier Cathedral, or sample the local Moselle wine. In recent years, Trier has become a popular destination for foodies and wine enthusiasts, with a growing number of restaurants and wine bars.
