Welcome to Eichstätt

to the most delightful ball of the era around 1800

Most wonderfully, after the ball is always before the ball.
I invite you even now to dream
with our program for 2027.


Exclusive Concierge Service

We have already reserved on your behalf

To ensure your journey is truly relaxed,
we have secured guaranteed room allocations for you in the most charming establishments.
As these rooms are exclusively blocked for our guests,
they cannot be found on the usual public booking portals.
Please find all booking details on
our hotel recommendation page (in preparation),
which you may conveniently access with your personal reservation code.


Our Special “&”

A promise for your complete enjoyment

It is our constant endeavor
that our esteemed guests shall not merely dance,
but immerse themselves in an era of grace and consummate pleasure.
In order to relieve your arrival and the ensuing festivities
of any care whatsoever,
and to grant you a truly relaxed sojourn,
we have enhanced our offering
with that subtle yet exquisite “&”.

This “&” is far more than a mere enumeration;
it is our promise for your perfect enjoyment
and an even deeper immersion into the Bon Ton.
It is that additional spark of devotion
that defines the difference between an ordinary evening
and an unforgettable occasion.

For just as a dance gains its grace
only through the harmonious sequence of its steps,
so your experience gains its luster through our mindful care.
We prepare the setting,
so that you may surrender yourselves entirely to the pleasures of conversation
and the pure delight of the dance.
