At the world-famous Elephant Weimar Hotel- a rendezvous of international poets, artists, intellectuals, and statesmen for more than 300 years. Reside in the heart of Weimar, the "city of the classics" at the place where Goethe, Schiller and Bach once laid down their heads to rest. A place that received a literary tribute from Thomas Mann when he wrote "Lotte in Weimar." The award-winning gourmet restaurant, Anna Amalia, embodies its discerning philosophy on life. The soft leather armchairs that furnish the wood-panelled library are the perfect place to enjoy a digestif or fine cigar in front of an open fire, surrounded by a fondly compiled collection of books and music.Located on the historic marketplace, as it has been for the last 300 years, the Hotel Elephant's present address at Markt 19 was mentioned for the first time in historical documents in the year 1542. All the famous sights of Weimar are within easy walking distance.
