The DNA

Karl August Hotel, Nuremberg
A Family-Owned Gem with Minimalist Flair and Michelin-Starred Dining


Design-Driven Hospitality in the Historic Center

The Karl August Hotel in Nuremberg is a hidden gem that stands out precisely because it’s family-owned rather than part of any chain. Its minimalist architecture catches the eye from the moment you arrive, pairing industrial chic elements with warm parquet floors to create a stylish, welcoming interior that feels both contemporary and personal.


A Rooftop Spa and Elevated Comfort

Tucked away under the roof is a serene spa, offering a lofty escape from the bustling city below. The calming atmosphere and skyline views make it an ideal place to unwind after a day exploring Nuremberg’s medieval streets and lively market squares.


Culinary Sophistication at Tisane

For food lovers, the on-site Michelin-starred restaurant, Tisane, is a gastronomic highlight. With a focus on inventive, artfully plated cuisine, the dining experience perfectly complements the hotel’s refined aesthetic—making Karl August not just a place to sleep, but a destination for culinary exploration.
