Condé Nast Traveller on Regensburg and CHIN-CHIN: A City That Stays With You
Where Regensburg Tells Its Story – and Hospitality Comes to Life
Christine Mortag takes her readers on a journey through almost 2,000 years of the city's history. From the Cathedral and the Stone Bridge to the little cafés, restaurants and bars that make Regensburg such a vibrant place today.
It is precisely this connection between past and present that makes our city so special. Here, history is not simply preserved. It is lived.
And that is exactly the idea behind CHIN-CHIN.
In our two historic buildings on Gesandtenstraße, we bring together 17 individually designed hotel rooms and a bar that has long become an integral part of local life for many people in Regensburg.
Historic wooden beams, ornate stucco ceilings, creaking staircases and rooms with stories of their own. Add fine wines, distinctive drinks, encounters and conversations that sometimes last longer than planned.
A Boutique Hotel That Aims to Be More Than Just a Place to Stay
We were particularly delighted by how personally Christine Mortag describes her stay at CHIN-CHIN.
She writes about the history of our buildings, the individuality of our rooms and the distinctive character of a hotel where no two spaces are alike.
But she also highlights something that matters just as much to us: the people.
For us, hospitality is about more than a beautiful room or a good drink. It means making time for one another, sharing stories and giving our guests a personal connection to the city.
Knowing that Christine Mortag took this very feeling away with her is a wonderful compliment.
Thank You for This Special Perspective on Regensburg
We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Christine Mortag for her visit, her openness and her affectionate perspective on our city.
We would also like to thank Martina Frühe and GIRASOLE PR for their wonderful support and for helping Regensburg and CHIN-CHIN gain attention both nationally and internationally.
We are delighted by every story that inspires people to discover Regensburg.
And, of course, by every guest who arrives, stays and perhaps decides to stay just a little longer than originally planned.

A bar. A boutique hotel. And a little piece of Regensburg that stays with you.
Condé Nast Traveller on Regensburg and CHIN-CHIN: A City That Stays With You
Some cities you visit. Others you take home with you.
Regensburg is one of those places you don't simply sightsee. You experience it. Among medieval alleyways, lively squares, exceptional restaurants and a way of life that sometimes feels more Italian than Bavarian.
This is the Regensburg that journalist Christine Mortag discovered for the international travel magazine Condé Nast Traveller and beautifully captured in her article, published on 3 November 2026, titled “Germany's Northernmost Italian City? Why Regensburg Is Perfect for a Short Getaway”.
A love letter to our city. And a very special pleasure for us: CHIN-CHIN Bar & Boutique Hotel is featured in the article too.
CHIN-CHIN Bar & Boutique Hotel in Regensburg. THIS IS A PLACE TO BE!
Those who travel without seeking the anonymity of large hotel chains, but instead places with character, warmth, and history, will often find a better answer in small boutique hotels. Places that do not rely on size, but on atmosphere. Not on standardization, but on personality. Not on grand gestures, but on the feeling of truly having arrived.
