Built in 1907, the neoclassical Kurhaus is now the city’s convention centre. Ornate interior spaces include the main hall , with its marble floor, granite columns, Greco-Roman–style statuary and sparkling dome mosaics, and the casino . ID required; men will need a jacket, button-down shirt and non sports shoes.
Out front, the aptly named Bowling Green is flanked by an elegant, 129m-long colonnade and, opposite, the Hessisches Staatstheater , whose arcade shelters stylish boutiques.
