The idea behind it
Long-time friends Ali Ghawami and Marcus Walz had had the idea of combining their two areas of expertise for years: gastronomy in a motorsport atmosphere.
In 2013 they put their plans into action. A cafe with an attached hotel became available directly on Schwetzingen Castle Square.
The old cafe was converted into the "Walzwerk Cafe". With a design that fascinates every visitor and makes every biker's heart beat faster. Here not only photos and motorsport paraphernalia hang on the walls, but also tires and motorbikes, among other things.
Marcus Walz is an absolute perfectionist and you can see that in every detail of the equipment in the Walzwerk Cafe: from the helmets at the bar, which have been converted into lamps, to the specially designed bicycles that serve as room dividers.
Ali Ghawami, the passionate restaurateur and his staff ensure that everything runs smoothly.
As a contrast to the Walzwerk Cafe, the style of the "Hotel zum Erbprinzen" has been retained and with the Cafe offers an exciting mix of venerable and modern.
The hotel guests particularly like this combination: Spend the night in style with a view of the baroque castle and then have breakfast under motorbikes or relax on the terrace in summer ...
