What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Schlachte promenade runs right along the river outside, and the historic Marktplatz is just a short stroll away.
The rooms
Rooms use monochrome tones and classic modernist furniture, with bathrooms that open right into the sleeping quarters.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Daybeds and potted palms sit beside the heated subterranean pool, beneath glowing blue light and concrete walls.
The sauna
Wraparound cedar benches line the Finnish sauna, lit by soft panels and joined by a steam bath.
The gym
The mirrored fitness room is fitted with stationary bikes and a multi-station weight cable tower.
Restaurant
ÜberFluss Grill
Tables spill onto the riverside promenade for charcoal-grilled dinners, and fresh breads line the morning breakfast buffet.
At the table
The sixth-floor Skybar pours cocktails across panoramic rooftop terraces. Down below, canopied daybeds line the riverfront promenade.
How it began
Excavations for the building uncovered Bremen's medieval city wall, along with over a thousand artifacts including an engraved bishop's ring.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
