Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Compact knowledge for your travel planning.
Do you offer parking at the hotel?Due to our exclusive location directly in the pedestrian zone at the station square, we do not have our own parking spaces. Our tip: Use the public parking garages in the immediate vicinity (e.g.Parkhaus Mehlstraße oder Rosenquartier, just a few minutes' walk). Since we are the most central hotel at Hanover Main Station, we recommend a relaxed and environmentally friendly arrival by train.
Is breakfast included in the price?We offer a rich breakfast buffet. Please check your rate when booking; you can often choose flexibly between breakfast or half board.

Portrait of Alexander and Richard Rueter in the lobby of the Central-Hotel Kaiserhof

Dear guest,
The vision of our grandfather and company founder Wilhelm Rüter was to establish a hotel in Hanover's city center with a diverse range of dining options that reflected the social life of the state capital. The focus has always been on providing high-quality food and beverages with maximum comfort and honest value for money. Then as now.

We are a privately run family business and third-generation hosts with a passion for hospitality. Our goal is to continuously develop and exceed your wishes and needs. The employees of the Kaiserhof are our greatest asset. We are proud of our colleagues and the way they embody our vision of a modern yet traditional four-star hotel.

As a team and family, we warmly welcome you and look forward to your visit!

Yours, Alexander and Richard Rüter

The Brunnenhof restaurant has a cozy atmosphere dominated by rustic, elegant interiors with retro charm. Wooden tables, wrought-iron-framed alcoves, light-colored walls, and an open fireplace set the scene. At the back of the restaurant, the open kitchen offers a view of the chefs at work and whets the appetite for freshly prepared local classics and delicacies from German-speaking kitchens. In keeping with the family atmosphere of the place, a large selection of wines from mainly German wine-growing regions is offered here.
