What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Guests stay in stylish classic rooms at this peaceful location by the Inselsee. Those facing the lake have a balcony.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The Heidberge nature park surrounds the grounds, and the lakeside Barlachweg trail leads toward historic Güstrow.
The rooms
Lake-facing rooms open onto balconies above the water. Other rooms look into the surrounding Heidberge woods.
The water
Bring a swimsuit.
The pool and sauna
The indoor pool rests beneath a glass conservatory roof. Nearby, wooden loungers and a Finnish sauna face the trees.
Restaurant
Schröders
Tall glass doors open toward the garden terrace, where breakfast buffets give way to regional game and lake fish.
At the table
The Foyer Bar serves drinks beside tufted leather booths, and umbrella tables line the lawn under green awnings.
How it began
Hermann Schröder opened the hotel in 1914, celebrating with an artillery brass band and eleven beers for a single mark.

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

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.

It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.

Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.

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

Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.

Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
