Hotel Schloss Neustadt-Glewe

Top choice in Northern Germany


If you have your own wheels and don't mind being 8km northeast of Ludwigslust, this castle-hotel is easily the most romantic choice in the area. The baroque castle dates back 400 years, and rooms in the main building and most of the public areas capture the spirit of the age, with stucco ceilings and period touches; other rooms are disappointingly modern.
