Mövenpick Hotel Stuttgart Airport

Hotel Description

You know what’s refreshing? Finding an airport hotel that doesn’t feel like you’re sleeping in a terminal waiting area. The Mövenpick at Stuttgart Airport actually gets this right – and I say this as someone who’s stayed in way too many airport hotels across Europe.

First thing you notice walking in is how they’ve managed to create this bubble of calm despite being literally on Flughafenstraße (yeah, that’s “Airport Street” for the non-German speakers). The lobby has this modern Alpine feel that Mövenpick does well, with those warm wood accents and touches of Swiss design that somehow don’t feel forced. Check-in was smooth even during what I’m guessing was a busy transfer day – lots of business travelers with that slightly frazzled look of people catching early morning flights. The staff here actually seem to understand the airport hotel game; they get that you might need to store luggage for a few hours or print boarding passes at weird times.

Here’s the thing about the rooms – they’re legitimately quiet. I mean, you’re next to one of Germany’s busier airports, but the soundproofing is solid. The beds are those proper Swiss-quality mattresses that Mövenpick hotels tend to have, and honestly, after a long travel day, that matters more than fancy amenities. The shower pressure is excellent (small detail, but you appreciate it at 6 AM before a flight), and there’s actually decent workspace if you need to catch up on emails. What I really appreciated was the blackout curtains – they work properly, which isn’t always a given in airport hotels where designers sometimes prioritize aesthetics over function.

The restaurant situation is better than you’d expect too. Their breakfast spread goes beyond the usual continental setup, with some local touches alongside the international standards. I grabbed dinner there one evening instead of venturing into Stuttgart proper, and it was surprisingly good – not just “good for an airport hotel” but actually good food. The bar area gets busy with delayed passengers in the evening, which gives it a kind of international travelers’ crossroads vibe that’s actually pretty entertaining.

Location-wise, you’re obviously right there for flights – the shuttle runs frequently and takes maybe three minutes. But if you want to explore Stuttgart, the S-Bahn connection gets you into the city center in about 20 minutes, and honestly, it’s worth doing if you have time. Stuttgart’s got more character than people give it credit for, especially around the Königstraße area.

The parking situation is straightforward if you’re driving – they have their own garage, which removes that last-minute stress of finding a spot before a flight. Rates are fair for what you’d expect at an airport location. Overall, this place hits that sweet spot of being genuinely comfortable without trying too hard to be luxurious. It’s the kind of airport hotel that makes early morning departures feel manageable rather than torturous, and sometimes that’s exactly what you need.

  Spacious room and good facilities
  
  What could be improved: –

• Wonderful – Joshua from Germany – August 7, 2025 (9/10)

  Good hotel for plane spotters and everyone who needs direct access to the airport. From there its 20 second by foot to the Terminal building.
  If you ask for a runway view you get to see departing planes.
  
  What could be improved: Price is a bit high , but the hotel is very clean and service is great and the main advantage is the very close distance to the airport.
