Vienna Townhouse Bach Leipzig

There are few more direct ways to immerse yourself in 18th century Leipzig — and the story and sounds of its most famous citizen — than a stay in the Vienna Townhouse Bach. This updated Renaissance-period building contains 52 apartments, each decorated with a musical theme in tribute to J.S. Bach, who lived and worked here in Leipzig. The Motette rooms enjoy a view of nearby St. Thomas Church and the Bach Memorial, while the Partita overlooks the hotel’s sleepy garden; all feature reproductions of a portion of Bach’s handwritten scores on the walls. The Bull & Bonito restaurant offers fresh takes on Spanish, French and Italian cuisines, or simply a quiet refuge with a glass of wine after a day in the local shops and museums.
