Relaxed holiday in the countryside and on the waterfront

Like hardly any other European capital, Berlin combines idyllic locations on the waterfront and in the countryside with the cultural diversity of a major city.

Many hotels are idyllically situated by woods, parks and lakes – and yet they are only a short train ride or walk away from the city. Why not combine your next holiday in Berlin with some countryside recreation? We have put together a few selected hotels in the countryside in Berlin for you.

DAS SCHMÖCKWITZ

Relax in quiet seclusion on the shores of Wernsdorfer Lake: DAS SCHMÖCKWITZ welcomes you to an elegant manor house, surrounded by extensive park-like grounds and an abundance of woods and water. In the manor house and the summer house you will find a total of 93 charming and stylish rooms. The beautiful Restaurant Wintergarten, with its large terrace, also forms part of the hotel.
