Which is the smallest hotel?

The Eh'häusl Hotel in Amberg, Germany, is known as the world's smallest hotel according to the Guinness World Records. It consists of only one room, which was originally built in the 18th century as a way for couples to bypass the expensive marriage fees.



The title for the "smallest hotel in the world" is a friendly rivalry between two properties. The Eh'häusl Hotel in Amberg, Germany, holds the Guinness World Record; it is only 2.5 meters wide and covers just 53 square meters. Built in 1728, it was originally a "wedding house" designed to help couples meet property ownership laws for marriage. It accommodates only one couple at a time. However, in 2026, the Central Hotel & Café in Copenhagen is often cited as a modern rival, featuring exactly one guest room perched atop a tiny five-seat café. While the Eh'häusl is a multi-floor historical curiosity, the Central Hotel offers a more urban, boutique "micro-stay" experience. Both provide a high level of luxury and exclusivity, proving that you don't need hundreds of rooms to offer a world-class hospitality experience. Staying in either usually requires booking many months in advance due to their singular, high-demand occupancy.
