What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
This well-run hotel in a quiet location above the lake, Tollensee, makes an ideal base for excursions into the lovely surrounds.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
On the wooded shores of Lake Tollensesee, surrounded by nature in the Mecklenburg Lake District.
The rooms
Beds use ash-wood slat frames and natural rubber mattresses, while lake-facing rooms place bathtubs directly by the water.
The water
Bring a swimsuit.
The pool
The 14-meter indoor saltwater pool has a counter-current system and a whirlpool corner looking out over the lake.
At the table
The main dining room looks over Lake Tollensesee through panorama windows, serving breakfast buffets and regional evening dinners.
How it began

Founders Richard and Britta Wiegert slept in their car when no rooms existed here, inspiring them to build their own hotel.

The eight vibes

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
