Welcome to Literature Hotel am Main
Family-run, quiet and green, right on the river Main: ideal for anyone staying in Veitshöchheim near Würzburg, travelling mindfully and looking to unwind among books.
Right on the Main
Arrive & stay a while
Most guests arrive with a plan. And then something happens: the plan loses its importance. One night turns into two — not because there is more to do, but because it no longer feels necessary to do it all.
In the chestnut garden, right on the riverbank, or in the hotel library, there are places to simply linger — just minutes from Würzburg, and yet entirely your own.
The heart of our house
Books can be found throughout our house. In the library, encounters happen now and then — small readings, good conversations over coffee and wine. Sometimes authors stay for a while. Everything is possible, nothing is required.
In the evening it often becomes a meeting point: reading in peace, sharing a glass of wine, playing board games, exchanging stories.
Discover our hotelA good start to the day
ABCert-certified organic breakfast buffet with a steadily growing vegan selection and homemade spreads instead of individually packaged portions — helping us avoid unnecessary packaging waste. Cheese, eggs and honey come from long-standing regional partners — and on fine days, you can enjoy your breakfast on the terrace in the chestnut garden.
Tuesday to Friday, breakfast starts as early as 6 am, Mondays from 6:30 am — on weekends and public holidays from 7:30 am.
