The concept hotel combines a traditional hotel with the idea of independent living. Guests can come home, relax and be themselves. Business travellers (especially long-stay guests) have discovered this as a comfortable way to travel and experience hotel living. Renovated in 2009, the 158-room city hotel offers guests a lobby with 24-hour reception and check-out services, a hotel safe, TV lounge, WLAN Internet access (for a fee), a laundry service and a garage (fees apply).

The aparthotel is located in the centre of Karlsruhe, only 300 m from the pedestrian zone. Guests will find restaurants on the hotel's doorstep and a tram stop and bus station just 500 m away. The city centre shops are around 1 km from the business hotel and the main train station and park/zoo are a 20-minute ride away using public transport. The castle is a 20-minute walk from the city hotel, and nearby airports include Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden (50 km away), Stuttgart Echterdingen (75 km away) and Frankfurt International (100 km away).

A breakfast buffet is served each morning.
