Went for a romantic weekend and it was delightful. We snagged a great deal which included breakfast and dinner (non-alcoholic drinks were also included). Gluten free options were made available and the restaurant staff was very helpful and kind about it. The entire staff was top notch at every level, spa area and rooms are modern and sleek. The outlets close by were also a fun way to spend a few hours. Go, relax and enjoy the excellent service and atmosphere.

Beautiful estate turned hotel/business center. Halfway between Cologne and Frankfurt. Great spot to experience the lovely German countryside. Went to the Christmas Market in Koblenz, about a 30 min drive. Loved the home town feel, the food and drink. My hotel room was small, think 13th century university dorm room, but they have larger rooms. OK for me since I am small people and you're only in your room to sleep. Everthing in the room & shower was clean and well ordered. Staff is friendly, helpful and speaks English. Breakfast buffet is delicious.

Argos Theater

The ancient Argos Theater was built in 320 BC. and is located in Argos, Greece against Larissa Hill. Nearby from this site is Agora, Roman Odeon, and the Baths of Argos. The theater is one of the largest architectural developments in Greece and was renovated in ca 120 AD.

The Hellenistic theater at Argos is cut into the hillside of the Larisa, with 90 steps up a steep incline, forming a narrow rectilinear cavea. Among the largest theaters in Greece, it held about 20,000 spectators and is divided by two landings into three horizontal sections. Staircases further divide the cavea into four cunei, corresponding to the tribes of Argos A high wall was erected to prevent unauthorized access into the theatron and may have helped the acoustics, but it is said the sound quality is still very good today.

Around 120 CE, both theaters were renovated in the Roman style.
