Unusual hotels in Germany
Tired of standard rooms, buffet breakfasts and classic hotel packages? Then it’s time to try something new! For example, sleep in a windmill, a water tower or in a cage. Here are 10 extraordinary hotels in Germany.
Mövenpick Hotel Hamburg
The hotel is equipped in the old water tower, which was built in the middle of the XIX century. The architects and engineers managed to retain the authenticity of the structure while making it a comfortable hotel. Guests can admire the views of the city from their rooms, or dine on the terrace with magnificent views of the green hills.
Hotel Burg Colmberg
The castle is more than 1,000 years old. Guests at this charming hotel enjoy a royal retreat. The surroundings are suitable for hiking and cycling, while the interior journeys take guests back in time. Spacious bedrooms with luxurious beds, oversized baths and antique decor and a restaurant in a medieval hall with a fireplace – a true pleasure for travelers!
Mini Hotel Übernachten Im Gurkenfass
Travelling through the Brandenburglands, it’s worth stopping in Lubbenau. You can sleep in a barrel! This is the kind of ‘mini-hotel’ offered to tourists who prefer secluded getaways. The kegs are located in the middle of the old Spreeveld forest. Tall trees, forest streams and rivers, crystal clear air, and birdsong – what could be better than a holiday in the comfort of nature?
Eastern Comfort
The Eastern Comfort is one of the most unusual hotels in Bavaria. How about an overnight stay on a boat in the heart of Berlin? The hotel is located on a boat moored on the river Spree, not far from the Berlin Bridge. From here you can walk to the Berlin Wall, Germany’s main tourist attraction.
Hotel Herrnschloesschen
The hotel is situated in one of the oldest buildings in Rothenburg. Several architectural styles are interwoven seamlessly into one another. You will find here an early Baroque style lounge, a refined antiquity and a modern service.
Propeller Island City Lodge
The perfect hotel for those who crave a thrill. How about sleeping in a coffin or a cage? Lars Strochen spent about $1.5 million to create the hotel. Coffins and cages are not the most extravagant of accommodation options. Guests can also rent a room upside down, with furniture suspended from the ceiling and a primitive bed pulled out from the floor.
Hotel im Wasserturm
This is a hotel built in an old water tower. The architects have managed to preserve some elements reminiscent of the monumental structure’s past. Remains of old pipes, undecorated walls – these and much more are seamlessly intertwined with modern conveniences. The hotel has a rooftop terrace that offers magnificent views of Cologne Cathedral.
Ostel
This hotel is located in an old panel building not far from Berlin Eastern Station. Much credit to the hotel’s designers, they were able to recreate the atmosphere of the 1970s in great detail. The rooms are furnished with GDR-era furniture and the walls are hung with portraits of Erich Honecker. The Ostel is a time machine which transports one back in time.
Hotel Hof Galerie
The hotel is located on the island of Sylt. A stay here is the perfect opportunity to experience first class service with a true Aryan flair. Each room is individually decorated, and the building itself is a paragon of superb taste and aesthetics.
Scube Park
If you fancy a night in the Keg, you can’t turn down the chance to spend a night in the Cube. Scube Park is a mini-hotel with a maximum capacity of 4 guests. The hotel complex is practically in the heart of the German capital.
