Die Reichsstadt

Die Reichsstadt is a romantic boutique wellness and lifestyle hotel in the historic centre of Gengenbach, presented as a family life's work by Familie Gerhard, Carmen & Lennart Hummel and positioned as a welcoming "home away from home" with a familial wellbeing atmosphere. The property operates a gourmet restaurant alongside the brasserie Cocotte – die Schwarzwaldbrasserie, a garden restaurant, a sun terrace, a bar for cocktails and a cosy wine cellar and fireplace lounge. The hotel blends design and tradition within old town fabric to create a personal, exclusive ambience and offers an Altstadt Living SPA with an outdoor pool, a restaurant garden and a chill-out lounge; relaxation areas extend into surrounding vineyards, meadows and Schwarzwald landscapes. The culinary philosophy emphasises regional Black Forest cuisine that is refined and unadulterated, presented across multiple outlets from gourmet restaurant to brasserie and garden-terrace dining, and upholds top-level gastronomy with Badenese hospitality. The kitchens are led by Daniel Wallenstein, named Koch des Jahres 2025 (Chef of the Year 2025), underscoring the hotel’s commitment to high-level gastronomy and regional sourcing.
