Welcome to Eichstätt

to what is arguably the most charming ball of the era around 1800


Wonderfully so, the end of one ball is but the eve of the next.
I would already like to invite you
to dream with the program for 2027.


Exclusive Concierge Service

We have already made reservations for you


To ensure your arrival is truly relaxed,
we have secured fixed allotments for you in the most beautiful houses.
Since these rooms are exclusively blocked for our guests,
you will not find them on the usual public portals.
Please find all booking details on
our hotel recommendation page (in preparation),
which you can conveniently use with your personal reservation code.


Our Certain „&“

A promise for your consummate enjoyment


It is our constant endeavor
that our esteemed guests not merely dance,
but immerse themselves in an era of grace and perfect amusement.
To relieve your arrival and the ensuing festivities
from any worry
and to allow you a truly relaxed sojourn,
we have expanded our offerings
with the small but exquisite „&“.

This „&“ is more than a mere addition;
it is our pledge to your consummate enjoyment
and an even deeper immersion into the Bon Ton.
It is that extra spark of attentiveness
that distinguishes an ordinary evening
from an unforgettable event.

For just as a dance attains grace only through
the harmonious sequenceof its steps,
your experience gains brilliance through our deliberate care.
We set the stage
so that you may completely surrender
to the pleasures of conversationand the joy of the dance.
