A gem
in the middle of Meersburg
your lion team
Surrounded by steep vineyards, the medieval town of Meersburg with its winding streets, magnificent patrician houses and imposing castle towers over Lake Constance.
Just a few steps from the castle, past the old castle mill, you will find our Hotel Löwen on the historic market square. The listed building, with its ochre-red facade and green shutters, attracts everyone's attention with its purple-blue wisteria tendrils and idyllic terrace.
Our 20 lovingly furnished rooms and the popular restaurant with regional and international cuisine warmly invite you to be our guests.
The shore of Lake Constance is only about 300 meters away and offers the opportunity to explore the lake on the Lake Constance shipping ships or to take the car ferry to Konstanz. Numerous cycling and hiking trails in the immediate vicinity invite you to take part in sporting activities. The outdoor pool and thermal baths are also within easy walking distance.

The Lion and His Story
The exact construction of the “Löwen” is unknown, but it is undoubtedly one of the oldest inns in Meersburg.
In the 15th century it was the seat of the mayor Simon Weinzürns, who went down in Meersburg's annals of history as a rebel from Lake Constance because he fought for the citizens' right to have a say in the city's constitution, but lost the fight and was drowned in Lake Constance in 1461. The Löwen was first mentioned as an inn in 1534 and has been called a drinking tavern for around 400 years.
