Hotels in Lubeck

Lubeck is the second largest city of the Schleswig-Holstein region in northern Germany. North-east of Hamburg, it’s situated close to the Baltic Sea, just a few kilometres from some beautiful coastline. In fact, a 20-minute train ride from Lubeck takes you to the charming seaside resort of Travemünde which has 1.7km of white sand beach.

Lubeck is well-known for its red-brick Gothic architecture and for being the medieval capital of the Hanseatic League, a powerful trading confederation. The true symbol of the city is the Holstentor, a towered brick gate built to defend the Old Town. And while Lubeck’s Old Town is rightfully famous as Germany’s most extensive UNESCO World Heritage Site, the city is probably best known for its marzipan. Given protected status back in 1996, Lubeck marzipan is held in high esteem because of the quality of its ingredients. 

There is a regional airport located 8km south of Lubeck in the town of Blankensee which provides internal flights to Munich and Stuttgart. The nearest international airport is in Hamburg, which is 70km away and takes an hour and a half to reach by train. 

Lubeck is a great place for history buffs, but it’s not the only German town brimming with culture. Regensburg has its own UNESCO Site and 2,000 years of history written into its Roman, medieval and Gothic architecture. Hannover has a charming Old Town and lush, well-kept gardens to get lost in, while Braunschweig is popular for its traditions. But no matter which of these cities you choose to visit, there’ll be a German Premier Inn hotel ready and waiting, so you can rest easy between adventures.
