Day 1. Thursday 28th November 2024

Morning flight to Frankfurt. You’ll board the coach for the drive to Bad Nauheim and to our home for the next few days – the Hotel Villa Grunewald in the heart of Bad Nauheim. This hotel is where Elvis actually lived for a number of months and much of the hotel is exactly as it was when he was there. We’ll show you the very room Elvis had during his stay and still furnished as it was then. 

Remainder of the day at leisure. 

Day 2. Friday 29th November 2024

After breakfast at the hotel we’ll take a walking tour of Bad Nauheim. 

As   always   with   the   Elvis   Travel   Service   you’ll   get   the   most   comprehensive  tour  possible.  We’ll  show  you  dozens  of  Elvis  sights  including where Elvis lived, shopped, socialised and had some of his most famous pictures taken during his military service. You’ll also get to see the many bars, restaurants, shops and cafes that this beautiful little town has to offer and have time for independent exploration. 

Afternoon and evening at leisure.

Day 5. Monday 2nd December 2024

Breakfast at hotel. Mid-morning departure to Frankfurt. En-route we’ll call into the  quaint  village  of  Steinfurth.  Known  mainly  for  its  growing  of  roses,  the  village was also where Elvis and his platoon helped erect a war memorial. We’ll also see the now closed Ray Barracks in Friedberg, and stop in the town of Bad Homburg  to  see  the  former  Ritters  Park  Hotel.  Elvis  stayed  at  the  hotel  in  October  1958,  and  was  the  setting  for  iconic  photos  of  Elvis  and  local  fans.  

Mid-afternoon flight to the UK.

OUR HOTEL

Hotel Villa Grunewald

With just 16 bedrooms this hotel is one of the most elegant and sought-after places to stay – especially because this is where Elvis lived for much of his time in Bad Nauheim...and we’ve booked the whole hotel for our tour in November/December! Located overlooking the beautiful Spa Gardens and Park in the centre of the town it is within easy walking distance of the Elvis sights, shops, bars and restaurants. The rooms (except for the one that Elvis had which has been kept as it was - and which you'll get to visit inside) are all modern with private bathrooms and the hotel has a small restaurant and Lobby Bar but many who repeatedly stay here say that its biggest asset (other than the Elvis connection, of course) are the friendly, welcoming staff. A continental breakfast is included.
