Distin­gu­ished guests from all over the world

The illus­trious guest­list of the Golden Anker Hotel in Bayreuth reads like a “Who’s Who” of great artists, thin­kers, leaders, opinion leaders and stars, both of the past and the present.

Historic guest­book

For nearly 300 years, the hotel has played host to nume­rous renowned guests from the fields of the arts, busi­ness and poli­tics. Brass plaques on some of the doors reveal which of these famous visi­tors have spent a night in that parti­cular room.

  • King Alfonso of Spain
  • Albert Uderzo
  • Kit Armstrong
  • Anton Bruckner
  • Semjon Bychkov
  • Patrice Chéreau
  • Colin Firth
  • Susanne Fröh­lich
  • Günther Grass
  • Gerhard Haupt­mann
  • Herbert von Karajan
