“I can feel how much love has gone into creating a little slice of Italy here” raved film diva Claudia Cardinale, who was the star guest at the opening ceremony. That was 20 years ago – but the 4-star superior experience hotel “Colosseo” has lost none of its fascinating splendour. Constructed in the record time of 15 months and with around 350 rooms and suites it is the largest single hotel in southwest Germany.

You can sense the Mediterranean charm, particularly on the Italian piazza, which surrounds a colosseum arch. The “Colosseo” has been given a new coat of paint and invites you to go on an Italian voyage of discovery, without even being in Italy.
