Surrounded by a spacious park with magnificent trees, we welcome you to the historic ensemble of a moated castle, coach houses, and gatehouse. Our 5-star superior hotel in Essen-Kettwig is the premier address for all those who wish to spend their time in an atmosphere of lightness and joie de vivre, namely at Hugenpoet Castle.
From the Middle Ages to today: Hugenpoet is a witness to history. Opened in 1955, Schlosshotel Hugenpoet quickly established itself internationally as a house with an excellent reputation. Today, owner and managing director Maximilian Freiherr von Fürstenberg brings his vision of hospitality and lifestyle to life at Hugenpoet.
We are happy every day to see our guests happy. And we are proud that the professional critics and the media are also enthusiastic about us. We accept their awards and reviews with gratitude – we couldn't wish for a better motivation.

Exclusive design in perfect harmony with antique unique pieces: At Hugenpoet, we cultivate an elegant yet cozy living style, in the rooms and suites as well as in the public areas of the castle hotel. Every piece of furniture is hand-picked. This is how an atmosphere that is truly unique is created.
At Hugenpoet, art is omnipresent. From the ancestral gallery of the von Fürstenberg family in the Red Salon and the lobby, to modern paintings in the coach house, to contemporary sculptures, such as those by the artist Sonja Edle von Hoeßle: Our castle hotel provides the perfect backdrop for artworks from various epochs. The artist is also represented with her works in the collective exhibition "Metamorphoses" in the castle park.
All of us at Hugenpoet are passionate hosts, each in their own place. And we are looking for like-minded individuals who share this philosophy with us. Discover your passion for hospitality.
Making our contribution to resource and environmental protection is important to us. That's why, at Hugenpoet, we adjust many small levers that not only benefit nature but also contribute to the well-being of our guests.
