Hotels near Beim BENZ

If you turn up with a guide that sends you to Grandls Hofbräu Zelt, this is the tent you actually want. Marcel Benz has run the Hofbräu tent since 2022 and Grandls is no longer on the Wasen at all. Stuttgarter Hofbräu is on tap, including the Kapsele cabin beer, and for 2026 the stage has moved into the middle of the room as a 360-degree platform, so no table ends up stuck behind the band.

Beim BENZ is the first festival tent in Baden-Württemberg to earn Schmeck den Süden certification, which requires at least 80 per cent regional ingredients, and the roast chicken is what the kitchen is judged on. Theme nights carry the weekdays: Jester Monday, Club Tuesday and a VfB day for Stuttgart's football crowd. Reservations go through reservierung.beimbenz.de or +49 711 550 90 90. Capacity is not officially published, so ignore any number you see quoted for it.

Pro Tip: Book Jester Monday or Club Tuesday on reservierung.beimbenz.de instead of a weekend. The theme nights are the point of this tent, the minimum spend sits at the bottom of the EUR 38 to 82 range, and you will not be queuing outside a closed door.
