Hotels in Baden-Baden
Set in a
wooded valley
of the northern Black Forest, Baden-Baden sits
atop the extensive underground hot springs. The name Baden-Baden,
meaning the town of Baden in the State of Baden was adopted to
differentiate the town from another spa town, Baden-bei-Wien, near
Vienna. Merkel Mountain, with elevations of 2,000 feet is located two
miles east of the city.
The town has one of the
leading casinos
in Europe, with one of the
richest traditions, and also one of the oldest. The ball still rolls
today in the roulette wheels installed in the magnificent rooms which
the lessee Edouard Bénazet had designed by Paris craftsmen and which led
Marlene Dietrich to proclaim that the casino was the most beautiful in
the world. Gaming machines are kept separate from the classic games of
chance in Baden-Baden΄s old
Railway Station, which is a listed building
Among the slot machines available to visitors are roulette, poker and
black jack. Particular attractions are the two Jackpot facilities and
the Car Jackpot.
