Hotel Restaurant Fritz

Quiet between city and greenery

The hotel sits where the lively city center gives way to leafy Düsternbrook, so it is quiet yet close to the action. The fjord and the Kiellinie are only a few minutes' walk away, and the castle gardens are easily reached on foot. This central-but-edge location means short routes into town without the night-time bustle passing your window. Guests arriving by car benefit from the more relaxed parking on the fringe of the center; buses toward the main station and the fjord stop nearby and are quickly reached.

Comfortable rooms, regional cuisine

The rooms are comfortable and unpretentious, making the hotel a relaxed retreat after a long day in the city. The well-kept in-house restaurant serving regional cuisine means you needn't head out to eat well in the evening. This three-star property suits guests who value honest quality for the price, business travellers with appointments in the center, and couples wanting to experience Kiel without grand luxury but with North German cosiness. The personal, family-run tone rounds off the stay.

Fjord, castle and walks

Walks beckon right outside the door: through the castle gardens you reach Kiel Castle and on to the Kiellinie, where the view stretches across the fjord. Nearby are bakeries, cafés and small eateries, and the city-center shopping streets are also within walking distance. For day trips, the fjord ferries to Laboe and the maritime museum at the harbor are good options. Tip: early risers find the Kiellinie almost deserted in the morning, with only joggers and the first ships about – a calm start to the Kiel day.
