A green, inspiring oasis with the best local tips for culture lovers, beer fans and nature lovers!

Good to know: Franconia is the home of beer and the name "Hop" is inspired by the "sacred" hop plant.

Design & Art

What would the niu be without design and art? Well, it surely wouldn’t be the niu, because we have chosen art as a central design element. Each design of our houses stands for its own story, inspired by the neighborhood, culture and history of the city. For the art design, we turn to emerging, young artists* who find a platform for their creativity with us. With great, individual pictures and murals they show what "street art" can be and bring our motto to life with humor and attention to details.

Industrial charm with hut magic

Our inviting the niu Hop is in a prime location - Welcome to Forchheim! Experience a piece of real brewery history with us. A wonderful home with friends, with a sophisticated industrial mix and modern, playful furnishing elements. Cool, casual and impressively staged. Here you can arrive relaxed and switch off. The niu Hop is definitely a place to toast and come back!
