The "Antons" is a tribute to the founder of the hotel DIEDRICH. It combines traditional value with modern style. The color scheme is inspired by nature, and many materials are made of real oak wood. Just as the ancestor Anton would feel comfortable here today. This style continues in the "Old Postroom". After all, this was exactly where the "Imperial Post Office" was located back then. While earlier, bustling activity was encouraged in this space, today it is all about enjoying the moment. Those who prefer a small and cozy atmosphere can take a seat in the postman's office – this is our "Postroom" today. The small room is filled with warmth and offers the perfect space for small-scale dining, which only serves to delight the palate. If you choose the half-board option, you will most likely be seated in the main house restaurant in the evening. The restaurant reflects the half-timbered style of the hotel and the entire region of North Rhine-Westphalia.
