Honigmond &mdash the literal translation of "honeymoon" in German &mdash surely lives up to its name. We hope this is one honeymoon that will never end! Like its sister property, the Honigmond Hotel and Pension, the Honigmond Garden Hotel is plucked from a storybook, offering rooms that are sumptuously decorated and lovingly restored. We're sold.
The Honigmond Garden occupies a meticulously restored building that dates back to 1845. The reception area is artfully done up in "old village" style, with exposed brick, dark period furniture, and flickering candelabras. A coat of arms greets you in the stairwell on your way to your room.
Unsurprisingly, bedrooms are decorated with flair. In one double, deep red walls and a stained wood floor set the stage, accompanied by a cast-iron bed and gold-framed mirror. You can barely hear the busy Invalidenstrasse bustle outside your hotel, thanks to the first-rate soundproofing. Another room, a charming single, features a lovely carved wooden bed, a matching nightstand, light green walls, and a sitting area. Rooms on the back look out onto a splendid oasis of a garden, sculpted and landscaped to allow maximum peace and quiet.
We're big fans of the Honigmond Garden Hotel and the Honigmond Hotel and Pension. The owners of the hotels clearly enjoy what they're doing and are looking to create a unique and welcoming experience for their guests (including a first-rate breakfast).
