Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Kurpark borders the property, and the Baltic Sea's beach promenade is an easy stroll down the lane.
The rooms
Pale timber and woven fabrics give the bedrooms an airy seaside feel, and select suites have private saunas.
The spa
Sunlit rooms host tailored bodywork rituals and botanical skincare therapies focused on stress regulation.
The gym
Cardio machines and a leather punching bag sit beside windows that open onto a sunlit balcony.
The saunas
Pebble walk-in showers sit beside two saunas that host daily steam infusions next to quiet loungers.
The Deli Bar
Floor-to-ceiling shelves hold fine wines, and the counter serves daytime espresso and evening antipasti.
At the table
Breakfast is served on the timber veranda overlooking the trees, followed in the evening by seasonal North German cooking.
How it began
One of the oldest villas on Lübeck Bay, the house opened with actor Til Schweiger before going independent in 2021.

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.

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.

Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.

Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
