The Property — Hotel Sonnenhof
Hotel Sonnenhof is a straightforward three-star business hotel on a leafy residential street, a few minutes' walk from Sindelfingen's pedestrianised centre. The lobby is clean and functional, with varnished wood, a small seating area, and a front desk that deals efficiently with Mercedes-Benz contractors. It suits travellers who need a reliable, no-frills base for work at the nearby plant or the Messe Stuttgart, not those looking for charm or leisure amenities.
Chronicles of Sindelfingen
Sindelfingen grew from a 6th-century Alemannic settlement into a quiet market town until the late 19th century, when a small mechanical engineering workshop began what would become the Mercedes-Benz plant. Post-war reconstruction replaced much of the medieval core with functional 1950s architecture, though the Martinskirche (15th century) and the half-timbered Rathaus survive. Today the city is defined by its automotive industry, and its cultural identity centres on engineering, the annual International Jazz Festival, and the sprawling Breuningerland shopping centre.

Your Perfect Room

Rooms to avoid

Best views

🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Find train tickets →Stuttgart-Vaihingen station → Sindelfingen city centre (via bus connection)
💡 Not a direct option—you’ll take the U2 from Vaihingen to 'Sindelfingen Brühl' stop, then walk 15 minutes or catch bus 702 one stop to 'Zentrum'. Only worth it if you’re already near Vaihingen. The tram runs smoothly but the transfer eats up time.
Stuttgart Airport (STR) → Hotel garni Zielinski, Sindelfingen
💡 Pre-book a fixed-price airport transfer via the hotel or a local company like Taxi Sindelfingen to avoid surge pricing. The drive on the A8 is quick, even with light traffic.
Stuttgart Airport (STR) S-Bahn station → Hotel garni Zielinski, Sindelfingen
💡 Buy a VVS individual ticket from the machine—it covers both S-Bahn and bus. Get off the S1 at Böblingen station, then take bus 720 (direction Sindelfingen) to 'Rathaus' stop. The hotel is a 3-minute walk from there.
Stuttgart Airport (STR) bus terminal → Sindelfingen Rathaus
💡 The X60 is half the price of a taxi and almost as fast. Get off at 'Rathaus' stop, walk east on Danziger Straße for 200m. Avoid this bus during weekday rush hours—it gets packed with commuters.
Sindelfingen Rathaus → Hotel Abakus (Haltestelle: Sindelfingen Weberstraße)
💡 The hotel is a 4-minute walk from Weberstraße stop – cross the footbridge over the B464 to save time.
Sindelfingen ZOB → Hotel Krone (Haltestelle Rathaus)
💡 Buy a day pass if making two trips; single ticket is good for 90 min. Board at the rear for easier exit with luggage.
Sindelfingen Rathaus (town hall stop, from central areas) → Hotel Sonnenhof, near Rathaus stop (200m walk)
💡 The U2 is the easiest way from Sindelfingen town centre to the hotel. Get a VVS Tagesticket for unlimited trips if you're exploring Stuttgart all day.
Stuttgart Airport Busterminal → Sindelfingen, Rathaus/Böblingen
💡 Buy a TagesTicket (€6) direct from the machine by the bus stop – you can use it all day on all VVS local transport.
Stuttgart Airport, Bus Gate 2 → Sindelfingen ZOB (Central Bus Station)
💡 Direct and cheaper than train, but limited luggage space. From ZOB, Hotel Krone is a 10-min walk or a quick tram stop 1.
Stuttgart Airport (str) S-Bahn station → Pension Gann, Sindelfingen (via Böblingen)
💡 Take the S1 towards Kirchheim/Teck or Herrenberg to Böblingen station (12 min), then bus 706 to 'Sindelfingen Rathaus' stop – the pension is a 2-min walk.
Stuttgart Airport (STR) → Pension Gann, Sindelfingen
💡 Book via the airport taxi stand or app for a fixed rate – avoid unlicensed drivers offering rides outside arrivals.
Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof (central station, via S-Bahn from airport) → Sindelfingen station (then bus 701 or 10-min walk to hotel)
💡 From airport, take S2 to Stuttgart Hbf, then S60 towards Sindelfingen. Get a single-ticket Einzelfahrt – the walk from station to hotel is along Vahinger Strasse, flat pavement.
