Industrial naval loft
Industrial loft styling meets English country house character on the Flensburg Fjord, where red-brick naval heritage faces docked yachts.
Where it shines
Notable
Loft interiors combine preserved naval crane rails and handcrafted sea-glass chandeliers.
What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Das James is unusual even by local standards — its English name sets the tone for a hotel with a bit of country-house influence…
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Set along the Fördepromenade, the hotel borders the Sonwik marina, where sailing yachts dock alongside restored naval architecture.
The rooms
Loft Harbour Suites and waterfront rooms frame the fjord, pairing exposed brickwork with views across the Sonwik marina.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
A 21-meter heated rooftop pool gazes across the fjord toward Denmark, alongside a dedicated indoor family pool.
The hammam and saunas
A marble hammam and Finnish saunas warm the thermal floor, connecting to sundecks and lounges with open fireplaces.
The spa
Six treatment suites host massages and bodywork, with wicker peacock chairs set in tiled relaxation alcoves.
Dogs stay too.
The Lion Bar
Cocktails and afternoon tea are poured beneath historic naval crane rails, surrounded by tufted red leather barstools.
At the table
Michelin-starred Das Grace serves seasonal tasting menus, and James Farmhouse lays out farm-to-table breakfast spreads.
How it began
The red-brick building served as an imperial naval torpedo workshop before reopening along the waterfront as a contemporary hotel in 2020.
