What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Perched on the edge of the Baltic Sea, A-Rosa Travemünde offers a two-level, 4,500-m² spa space with just about everything you could ever need to relax.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Kurpark borders the grounds, and the Baltic beach promenade is just a short stroll away.
The rooms
Rooms are bright and generous, and many open onto private balconies looking straight out toward the sea.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Baltic seawater fills the indoor and outdoor heated pools. Inside, neck-massage jets pour from a mosaic wall.
The spa and gym
The gym sits beside candlelit relaxation lounges and seven saunas, including a citrus steam bath and Himalayan salt sauna.
At the table
The glass-walled conservatory restaurant serves daily buffets, and tables extend outdoors under a vine-draped wooden pergola.
How it began
The grounds hosted Travemünde's first seaside lodgings in 1802, before the neoclassical Kurhaus opened its doors in 1913.
