Hotels and the Beauty of the Baltic Coast
Visitors can choose from a wide variety of top-class, award-winning hotels along the Baltic coast in Schleswig-Holstein. Between Glacksburg from the north and Labeck from the south there are lots of top hotels where one can enjoy a really luxurious holiday and maybe use as a base for a Baltic cruise. Each of these luxury resort hotels does have it's own special character and unique, individual charm. From wellness for body, mind and spirit to exquisite and varied cuisine they satisfy their guests every wish.
In 2001, Hotel Seeschlasschen (Sea Castle) in Timmendorfer Strand was the very first establishment on the Baltic coast to receive a 5-star rating, the greatest classification possible for hotels in Germany and the Baltics. The hotel has been owned and operated by the von Oven family for over 90 years. It had been originally established in 1908 as the Restaurant and Cafa Seeterrasse (Sea Terrace). Since then it has been converted into the Baltics first-class luxury establishment with 84 double luxury hotel rooms, 30 single rooms and 16 suites.
For the last 30 years Rohlf and Brigitte von Oven are attending to the running of the hotel and the comfort of the guests personally daily.
In May 2003 an additional luxury resort hotel was opened on the Baltic coast the Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten Casino Travemande, which is now offering a well-earned reputation as one of the top luxury establishments in northern Germany. The 74 rooms and luxury hotel suites for the Four Seasons, the building of which is protected as a national monument, are lovingly decorated and furnished with painstaking focus on detail.
The spacious layout and high ceilings typical with this lovely old architecture underline and boost the establishmentas aura of historical culture. Guests will also be entranced by glorious panorama of the Bay of Labeck, popular for a Baltic cruise, which can be seen from the majority of the luxury hotel rooms and especially from the first class gourmet restaurant probably one of the most beautiful luxury resort spots on the Baltic Sea.
The historic Travemande Casino is nearby to and directly linked to your accommodation, providing an ideal complement for the unique hotel concept.
Despite almost all their elegance and luxury hotel rooms these two 5-star hotels and the top hotels on the Baltic Sea coast have all also retained a pleasing character that is typical of northern Germany and the Baltics: Everything here is genuine and authentic, the friendliness from the people is direct and emanates from the heart.
Family atmosphere and first-class service at these top luxury resort hotels are a successful combination that's greatly appreciated by the guests.
