LOFTSTYLE Hotel Gerlingen, Sure Hotel Collection by BW

Just north of Stuttgart, the LOFTSTYLE Hotel Gerlingen, Sure Hotel Collection by BW, Gerlingen, Germany, is a stylish hotel with playful comfort rooms full of wood and design touches, free Wi-Fi, parking with electric-charging points, and roomy executive rooms with a kitchenette for families and longer stays. Two roof terraces and the Italian-mediterranean cuisine are a fine place to pause and look out over the town, and a generous breakfast buffet sets up the day. Stuttgart's centre is a short drive or train ride away for an easy day out. Gerlingen sits on the wooded heights above Stuttgart, on the edge of the green Glemswald forest. The grand Solitude Palace, a hilltop royal pleasure-house, stands a short drive away with long views over the city, woodland trails and cycle paths thread the surrounding ridges, and Stuttgart's car museums, vineyards and palace squares lie close below. Wooded paths and quiet villages spread across the plateau.
