Hotel Elements €€

; Alter Kornmarkt 3; apt €135-155)
Four ele-
ments, four rooms, and what rooms they are! This tiny theme hotel breaks new ground
with its imaginative design and is the best-kept secret in Eastern Bavaria. 'Fire' blazes in
plush crimson and is just the thing for honeymooning couples, while nautically themed
'Water' is splashed with portholes and a Jacuzzi. 'Air' is spacious and light, as opposed to
'Earth' where colonial chocolate browns and bamboo reign. Reception and breakfast are
in the adjoining Caffè Rinaldi.
