Where to Stay in Stuttgart

Where to Stay in Stuttgart

Your guide to the best areas and accommodation types

Stuttgart spills across vine-laced hills sliced into seven districts, each wearing its own lodging personality. Stuttgart-Mitte squeezes business hotels and restored townhouses tight around Schlossplatz. Stuttgart-West strings leafy pensions and boutique stays along the mineral spas. Stuttgart-Süd grips the vineyard slopes where guesthouses stare down the Neckar. Stuttgart-North hands out family-friendly apartments near Wilhelma Zoo, while Stuttgart-East shelters quiet B&Bs beside Rosensteinpark. Business travellers head for Stuttgart-Vaihingen by the university, where modern chains and extended-stay suites line the streets. Mid-range doubles open at €90-120 in Stuttgart-Mitte and Stuttgart-West. Budget beds start at €25 in youth hostels or private rooms tucked into Stuttgart-Süd. Luxury leaps past €250 in restored palaces crowning the Karlshöhe ridge.
