2 Best Hotels in Schwerin, Schleswig-Holstein and the Baltic Coast

The city's most elegant hotel has a luxurious interior, decorated in a classic style, along with romantic, airy rooms and the impeccable service. The fine nouvelle cuisine à la Mecklenburg (mostly seafood dishes) is another attraction. All this is tucked inside a late-19th-century historic mansion located on old Schwerin's Pfaffenteich pond.

Only a 15-minute walk from the Old Town and towering seven stories above the old harbor, the Speicher am Ziegelsee was once a grain warehouse. The 1939 building's rooms and spacious apartments are decorated with natural materials and earthy tones and have all the amenities of a modern, first-class hotel. A choice spot for sitting is the wooden terrace bordering the lake.
