The boxy '70s exterior of this hotel belies its ultra-modern, stylish interior; all common areas and guest rooms have been fully renovated. Standard rooms are comfortable, good-looking and functional. Perhaps its best feature is the lakefront location boasting a wonderful outlook from the shores of the shimmering Maschsee; lake-view rooms cost a bit more. The 100/200 bus line stops outside.
