The casino
The casino occupies the grand Kurhaus, with richly decorated salons inspired by French palaces. It is one of the oldest casinos in Germany, and daytime tours let you see the rooms without playing.
Where to stay
Brenners Park-Hotel & Spa, set along the Lichtentaler Allee park, is the town’s best-known luxury stay. The compact centre means most hotels are within walking distance of the Kurhaus.
Beyond the tables
Spend the day between the Caracalla Therme and the historic Friedrichsbad bathhouse, then walk the Lichtentaler Allee or head into the Black Forest hills.
Getting there
Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden Airport is close by, and Frankfurt Airport is about two hours by train or car.
