Herrenkrug Parkhotel an der Elbe

Central Germany


Rise to chirping birds at this riverside mansion, then start the day with a wake-up stroll through the lush surrounding park. Rooms are spacious and stylish, with access to the sauna and steam bath included in the rate. The hotel's best feature is its bold, handsome art-deco facade: one for lovers of the period.

Take tram 6 to Herrenkrug.
