The house
HIIVEIndustrial quarter anchor
Conceived as an urban hive, this design outpost brings travelers and Oldenburg locals together around an all-day social lobby.
What it’s good at
Notable
Local studio Angelis & Partner furnished the industrial spaces with Kvadrat fabrics and Vitra.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
it commits to an industrial aesthetic: exposed concrete, black steel frames, oak floors, carried through rooms from compact Pure doubles to L-shaped Loft rooms with kitchenettes.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Oldenburg's pedestrianized city centre and the central train station are both an easy walk from the front door.
The rooms
Oiled oak parquet floors and Tréca Paris beds furnish the bedrooms, while Loft categories add soaking tubs and pantries.
The gym and sauna
Peloton stationary bikes and free weights equip the gym, and a sauna sits in the wellness area.
Restaurant
Oh Honey
Folding glass doors open onto the courtyard, and communal wooden tables wrap around concrete pillars for drinks and dinner.
How it began
The hotel was built in 2023 as the centerpiece of the Drei Höfe quarter, transforming a long-vacant city site.

The eight vibes
Design
Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
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.
