Spend a night in Queen Victoria’s daughter’s castle

A short commuter train ride from Frankfurt city centre will take you to Schlosshotel Kronberg, the former palatial residence of Queen Victoria’s daughter, who was also named Victoria. Built in the late 19th century, the dowager German Empress Victoria originally named it Friedrichshof Castle in honour of her late husband, Emperor Frederick III. Today it’s a five-star luxury hotel that is as regal as you can imagine and is where the British Royal Family stays when they are in town to visit their German cousins.
