SOLD! Charming hotel in the classical style in Bonn's Weststadt

The building:
The Gründerzeit villa was built for an industrialist in 1888 according to plans by the architect Otto Harff. After World War II, which the building survived unscathed, the villa was converted into a hotel at the end of the 40s, which was given the name "La Roche" by the owners. It was very popular with the representatives of the young Bonn Republic. Theodor Heuss lived here with his wife Elly Heuss-Knapp in 1948/49 before he became the first Federal President. The well-known kitchen of the hotel was run by the owner Carl La Roche, from 1949 he organized the state banquets in the Villa Hammerschmidt. In 1993, the villa, built in the classicist style, was entered in the list of monuments of the city of Bonn ("the representative building [is] an indispensable part of the southern part of Bonn and thus important for the history of the city of Bonn"). In the same year, the property was extensively remodeled and renovated by the new owner, and further renovations have continued to this day. The hotel is run as a garni hotel (three stars plus), the restaurant in the basement has been well leased for years.
