Best Luxury Hotels in Lower-Saxony

Embedded into the medieval quarter of the city, this design hotel brings a blend of sleek modern lines and nods to times past. Owner Hans Georg Näder has brought his personal passions (art and travel) into the decor, with handpicked furnishings from across the globe and interiors by Anja Müller. The building’s original rustic timber beams and open fireplaces remain, creating a guest house feel, with 59 bedrooms, a restaurant, wine cellar and bar. Zum Löwen boasts one of the most inviting pools in the land with a naturalistic but dramatic lighting design. It’s part of the hotel’s spa, Bains Douches, along with a salt-lined room.

Found at the south end of the Bürgerpark right beside Holler Lake, this hotel (part of the Hommage Luxury Hotels Collection) enjoys a gorgeously leafy outlook. Lie back on a padded sun lounger, drink in hand, as you listen to the sounds of the impressive fountain and gaze across the lake. A grand 19th-century facade gives way to equally impressive interiors (think marble columns, huge fireplaces, chesterfield sofas and ornate cornicing). Its spa has an ice grotto, there’s an outdoor swimming pool, and a pretty terrace for alfresco breakfasts and guests can spend evenings in the La Fumadora smoking lounge.
