Grand Hotel Binz ***** - Ostsee / Insel Rügen

A little Thailand at the Baltic Sea...
Sandy beaches, bizarre chalk formations and the Baltic Sea's typical spa architecture define the characteristic appearance of Germany's largest island. Rügen is at once glamorous and romantic. The Grand Hotel Binz, situated immediately at one of the long white sandy beaches, looks out at the sea across the beech woods of the Granitz. The exclusive 5 star house was built in 1998 in the style of a typical Baltic Sea bath: a four storey building with white walls, balconies and triangular gables reminiscent of the Renaissance, Classicism and Italian villas.

The hotel owners are avid Thailand fans and have integrated elements of far eastern culture in their holiday resort. The Thai Bali spa with ten treatment rooms and original Thai materials is new in this exclusive wellness hotel. You can even order traditional Thai dishes in the restaurant. Rügen is one of the locations in Germany with the greatest number of sunny hours each year. These can be spent at the hotel's private beach, or exploring along the boardwalk into the bath town of Binz: on foot, cycling, or using one of the Segways which the Grand Hotel is one of the first houses on the island to offer to guests. These electric scooters from the US are used standing up and steered using your body balance. A fun way to get around!

Environment
