History
The Steigenberger Graf Zeppelin stands at Arnulf-Klett-Platz 7 opposite Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof. Paul Bonatz, who also designed the station, built the hotel for Landesbank Stuttgart as the Zeppelinbau; it opened on 14 March 1931, named for Ferdinand Graf von Zeppelin, as a Zeppelin circled the city. Albert Steigenberger took over in 1957. The facade is listed. (A 1957 date that appears in some hotel databases is the Steigenberger takeover, not the construction year.)
The setting
Arnulf-Klett-Platz 7, opposite the Hauptbahnhof Bonatz also designed. Schlossplatz is a short walk; this is the station square, not a spa suburb.
