Riverfront hotel on the Chattahoochee in Helen, Georgia
Riverfront Setting
The Hofbrau RiverFront Hotel sits on the north side of Helen, with the Chattahoochee River running directly behind the property. This placement gives guests a private beach area along the river, plus outdoor picnic areas and fire pits for roasting marshmallows. The hotel is a 7-to-8-minute walk from the city center and 150 yards from Betty's Country Store.
Rooms
All rooms come with a large-screen TV, a microwave, and a refrigerator. Riverfront rooms offer terrace access and views of the water, while city-view rooms include jacuzzi tubs (note: no river view in those rooms). Fireplaces are no longer available in any room.
Amenities
The hotel provides free on-site parking and a light breakfast each morning from 7:00 to 10:00 a.m. Outdoor spaces include a private beach area, a picnic area, and outdoor fireplaces for guest use. A vending machine with snacks and drinks is available, and the hotel accepts pets.
Breakfast
A light breakfast is served every morning between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. in the hotel office area. Options typically include grab-and-go items such as muffins, fruit, and instant grits, along with coffee, tea, and hot cocoa available 24/7. The breakfast area also doubles as the front desk and vending machine location.
Local Attractions
The hotel is a 10-minute drive from AnnaRuby Falls and a 5-minute drive from Hardman Farm, which offers local historical exhibits. Several vineyards within minutes of the property provide wine tastings. Downtown Helen's shops, restaurants, and Oktoberfest events are within walking distance.

“I found the direct riverfront access a significant draw, complemented by updated rooms that provide a comfortable stay. Its proximity to the main town area is undeniably convenient, making exploration effortless. While some areas show their age, the overall value and the updated amenities make it a solid choice.”
James DavidEditor-in-Chief at Usgeorgia
