Hotel Imperial

Rügen Island


A classic survivor from the glory days of Binz, this 1903 hotel has a romantic turret and several rooms with balconies and sea views. Rooms are warmly decorated and well-sized. Otherwise, it's as unadorned as the beach out front and offers a care-free escape in the centre of the action.
