Hotel Elephant Weimar
About Hotel Elephant Weimar
Hotel Elephant Weimar has ninety-nine rooms on the market square, in the middle of the city's weekly market, its Christmas market and its Zwiebelmarkt. Restaurant AnnA serves international creative Thuringian cuisine in the house, alongside the Weinkost Bar.
Staying on the square means staying in the middle of everything
The market square is not a quiet address and is not meant to be. The weekly market sets up in front of the hotel; the Christmas market is built around the square; and for three days each October the Zwiebelmarkt, the largest festival in Thuringia, is directly outside the windows. This is Weimar at its busiest and most itself — the square is loud into the evening during the Zwiebelmarkt.
