Zum Roten Bären
With parts dating from 1120, one of the oldest buildings in Freiburg claims to be the oldest inn in Germany. The vaulted cellar, some evocative stone work, and a smattering of antiques are faithful to the provenance, though the innkeepers have spared any attempt to be quaint in favor of plain contemporary decor in most rooms, and it’s a bit dated at that. High-ceilinged rooms in the orginal building have the most ambiance, and the best overlook a tranquil courtyard. Rooms in a new addition are stylish and nicely furnished in sleek contemporary style, but if it’s medieval atmosphere you’re after, ask for one of the more traditional rooms.
