According to the info provided to us, \u201cthe Steinberger Grand Hotel and Spa Petersberg has one of the most remarkable guest lists of any hotel in the world, owing to its role as the official guesthouse of West Germany. Since 1954, the hotel has served as the German government\u2019s guest house for state visits, meaning virtually every major world leader passed through its doors during Bonn\u2019s years as the West German capital. From Queen Elizabeth II to the Clintons, Nelson Mandela to Charles DeGaulle! The name \u201cPetersberg\u201d has become an eponym in German diplomacy\u2014it is the setting of the yearly Petersberg Climate Dialogue, and the Petersberg agreement of 1949 that helped reintegrate post war Germany into the Western community of nations was signed here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now it is housing some intrepid cyclists who bicycled major historical portions of France, Belgium, Luxembourg, and a bit of Germany. They are all very nice, active travelers. Included in that picture are our guides who were excellent.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-213\" src=\"http:\/\/bikeodyssey.cc\/john-grattos-normandy-bicycle-trip\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2026\/07\/6f000292-4cdd-45b8-8ac9-563f5a017d79-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"367\" height=\"489\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bikeodyssey.cc\/john-grattos-normandy-bicycle-trip\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2026\/07\/6f000292-4cdd-45b8-8ac9-563f5a017d79-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/bikeodyssey.cc\/john-grattos-normandy-bicycle-trip\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2026\/07\/6f000292-4cdd-45b8-8ac9-563f5a017d79-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bikeodyssey.cc\/john-grattos-normandy-bicycle-trip\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2026\/07\/6f000292-4cdd-45b8-8ac9-563f5a017d79-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/bikeodyssey.cc\/john-grattos-normandy-bicycle-trip\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2026\/07\/6f000292-4cdd-45b8-8ac9-563f5a017d79.jpg 1512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 367px) 100vw, 367px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Although not as ornate as the castle we stayed in yesterday, it is quite nice and apparently more famous.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-214\" src=\"http:\/\/bikeodyssey.cc\/john-grattos-normandy-bicycle-trip\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2026\/07\/IMG_5700-300x225.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bikeodyssey.cc\/john-grattos-normandy-bicycle-trip\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2026\/07\/IMG_5700-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/bikeodyssey.cc\/john-grattos-normandy-bicycle-trip\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2026\/07\/IMG_5700-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/bikeodyssey.cc\/john-grattos-normandy-bicycle-trip\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2026\/07\/IMG_5700-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/bikeodyssey.cc\/john-grattos-normandy-bicycle-trip\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2026\/07\/IMG_5700-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/bikeodyssey.cc\/john-grattos-normandy-bicycle-trip\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2026\/07\/IMG_5700-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Perched atop the Siebengebirge ridge overlooking K\u00f6nigswinter and the Rhine.
