Freiburg, in southwestern Germany, is known as a university city, bordered by the Black Forest in the Baden wine growing region. The city is one of Germany's most popular travel destinations. Those seeking a quiet retreat with contemporary trappings check into the Colombi, on the edge of the city's Old Quarter. Interiors are elegant but not precious, making families visiting for a sightseeing weekend feel as comfortable as business travelers. The hotel's commitment to creating a home away from home for its guests can be seen in such details as fresh flowers and fruit in the rooms, the cozy fireplace in the bar area and seasonal decorations, including sparkling Christmas trees during the holidays.
