     Where to stay in Simonswald:

1. Pensions

   A pension is a family-owned guesthouse (today some might call it boutique hotel) or as synonym for cheap hostel, where you usually can get a room with shared bathroom. Typically boutique hotels are furnished in a themed, stylish and/or aspirational manner. Although usually considerably smaller than a mainstream hotel, ranging from 3 to 100 guest rooms, boutique hotels are fitted with telephony and Wi-Fi Internet, air-conditioning, and often cable/pay TV. Many boutique hotels have on-site dining facilities, and the majority offer bars and lounges which may also be open to the general public.

   Of the total Simonswald overnight stays, a small percentage, are discerning travellers, who place a high importance on privacy, luxury and service delivery. As this market is typically corporate travellers, the market segment is a referral rich, non-seasonal, high yielding and repeat custom based market. This is not the majority who is looking for smaller inns. These small inns and farm guesthouses may offer special prices for travellers staying more than a week.

3. Inns

   The German words for "inn" is Wirtshaus or Wirtschaft, illustrating the history, whereby an innkeeper is a Wirt (host), the inn itself is a Wirtshaus (a host's house), and innkeeping means "bewirtschaften". The word "Wirtschaft" literally means hosting or hospitality, but is also used to mean economy and business in general. In the Greek language, the word for economy is actually identical to house-keeping. The original functions of an inn are now usually split among separate establishments, such as hotels, lodges, motels, pubs, restaurants, and taverns. In Simonswald, the lodging aspect of the word "Wirtschaft" lives on in names like "Wirt am Bach" (Löwen), Wirt auf den Stuben (Krone-Post).

   Inns are establishments where travellers can get food, drink, and lodging. Found all across the Black Forest, they first sprang up when the Romans built their famous system of highways two millennia ago. Some inns in Simonswaldare centuries old. In addition to providing for the needs of travellers, inns traditionally act as community gathering places. It is quite common for locals in Simonswald to sit together after attending chuch on a Sunday morning and discussing local and international politics, usually followed by a lunch at home or at the same place.

   In today's automobile-ridden world, real inns are fast dying out. The few that are left function primarily as restaurants. In Simonswald, inns are usually alcohol-serving restaurants that have never provided lodging or serviced the needs of travellers. In Black Forest, it is the provision of accommodation, that differentiates inns from taverns, and simple pubs. These later tended only to supply alcohol. Inns tend to be grander establishments.
