ATLANTIC Hotel Kiel

By the Bootshafen marina

The ATLANTIC is only about five minutes' walk from the main station and the Sophienhof shopping centre, so you can arrive without a car and head straight out. The striking Hoernbruecke bridge crosses the marina right outside the door towards the east bank, with cafes and restaurants lining the quay. The Holstenstrasse shopping street and St Nicholas' Church are a good quarter of an hour away on foot. Travellers arriving by sea reach the ferry terminals to Sweden and Norway within minutes on foot or by taxi.

Rooms with a fjord panorama

The upper floors offer the finest views: from many rooms and the bar you look out across the water to the departing ferries. The decor favours clean, calm tones with good sound insulation, which makes for restful nights after a day in the city. The spa with its sauna is especially welcome on cool fjord days, and the restaurant serves North German classics with fresh fish. Families appreciate the spacious rooms, while business guests value the quick rail connection.

Handy for Kiel Week

During Kiel Week in June the hotel sits right in the thick of things, as the festival mile runs from the marina down to the Kiellinie waterfront. Anyone wanting to watch the Windjammer Parade has only a short walk to the jetties from here. City-centre parking is scarce at that time, so arriving by train or reserving a spot at the hotel pays off. Outside the season too, the central location is convenient for trips to the maritime museum, the Kiellinie promenade and the GEOMAR aquarium.
