This four-star hotel with comprehensive leisure facilities is set in extensive parkland in the heart of the Aller-Leine valley between Hamburg, Bremen and Hannover. Its location on the southern fringes of the Lüneburg Heath make it ideal for holidays and relaxation. The region boasts the highest concentration of leisure parks in Europe. A 'safari' experience at Serengeti Park in Hodenhagen and a visit to Walsrode bird park are real musts.

This four-star hotel enjoys a quiet yet central location in a park-like avenue in the heart of 1,200-year-old Magdeburg, in an area characterised by late-19th century mansions. Once you step inside this family-run establishment, you'll be charmed by all the personal touches in the lobby and rooms. The beautifully arranged antiques pay tribute to the German poet Goethe, who as privy councillor or 'geheimer Rat', gives the hotel its name. Near to Magdeburg Cathedral, the oldest Gothic building on German soil and the burial site of Otto I, the Holy Roman Emperor, is the very last building project completed by Friedensreich Hundertwasser.
