Hotel Gloria
A family-run 4-star base with breakfast and sauna included
About this hotel
Hotel Gloria stands apart from the airport-corridor blocks that dominate this list: a genuinely informal, family-run 4-star property with a gourmet restaurant and a sauna, where free breakfast, free parking and free Wi-Fi are all bundled into the room rate rather than sold as extras. The kid-friendly tag sits comfortably alongside the pet-friendly one, so a family travelling with both children and a dog isn't juggling two separate policies. It's three minutes' walk from Sigmaringer Straße and a minute from Gasthaus zur Linde, with Stuttgart's TV Tower landmark a ten-minute taxi away for a city detour between SchwabenQuellen pool days, and the room-service and full-service laundry options round out a stay built for more than one night, useful once wet swimwear and towels start piling up by the second or third day.
- Free breakfast included
- Sauna and gourmet dining
- Family-run 4-star property
- Pet and kid friendly
Our take
Hotel Gloria suits a family that wants a genuinely personal, family-run atmosphere over the efficiency of the larger airport-corridor chains nearby, especially one travelling with both kids and a pet. The gourmet restaurant and sauna add real value for a longer stay, though a family chasing the fastest possible airport transfer might find a corridor property closer to the terminal a better fit instead.
- ✓Book the sauna time ahead during busy weekends, since it's a shared space rather than a private in-room extra.
- ✓Take advantage of the free breakfast buffet before an early SchwabenQuellen start, since it's included rather than a paid add-on.
- ✓Ask about the business centre if you need to work during the stay, since it's listed alongside the family amenities here.
Why we love it
- Free breakfast and free parking bundled in
- A genuine family-run atmosphere here throughout
- Sauna and gourmet restaurant on site
- Pet-friendly and kid-friendly tags together here
Why guests love itFamilies who choose Hotel Gloria for a SchwabenQuellen trip tend to notice the difference in atmosphere first: a genuinely informal, family-run property rather than another interchangeable airport-corridor block. The free breakfast means mornings before the water park don't need planning around a paid buffet, and the sauna gives adults a quiet place to sit once the kids are done with the pools for the day. Travelling with a dog adds no extra friction here, since the pet-friendly and kid-friendly tags sit comfortably side by side.
