People and moments

A stay at ScanHotels is more than just an overnight stay. It is the beginning of a discovery – a journey through a region that lies between the Baltic Sea and the old town, between fish sandwiches and delicatessen, between sunrise on the beach and sunset at the harbor. A journey that offers so much more than expected. When you arrive in Rostock, you are not just immersed in a city. But into a living space that shows the north from its most intense side.

Reason no. 1

The perfect balance between city center and port

Just a few steps and you’re on the water. The Rostock city harbor starts right outside the door and brings movement into the picture: ships, people, horizons. At the same time, it is only a few minutes to the historic center with its gabled houses and small cafés. If you want to move on, you can easily reach Warnemünde by bike, boat or S-Bahn.

The Baltic Sea is waiting there. Not loud, not staged. But real. With salt in the air, sand underfoot and vastness that lingers. Alone. As a couple. With family. The coast welcomes you as it is: sometimes quiet, sometimes stormy, but always authentic.

Versatility for anyone looking for both adventure and relaxation

When you check in with us, you decide for yourself what the day will bring. Whether it’s long walks on the beach, a visit to the Darwineum, a harbor tour or simply an afternoon on the hotel terrace with a view of the hustle and bustle of the city – we provide the space, you set the pace.

Our reception is not just an information point, but a host with a feel for your time. We are happy to recommend special places, insider tips off the beaten track and cultural events that really bring you closer to the region.

Reason no. 3

Cuisine – The north tastes good and surprises

An important part of every experience is the food. Here too, the region is our compass. Local products, honest cuisine, North German serenity: Whether it’s a freshly brewed coffee with a view of the harbor, a dinner with regional fish or a small breakfast with homemade specialties – at ScanHotels you feel that every ingredient tells a story.

And if you want to move on: The market hall in Rostock, small manufactories in the surrounding area or the fishing boats in Warnemünde show that culinary delights in the north can be more than just a cliché.

Reason no. 4

Experience nature – directly

Few cities offer such direct access to nature as Rostock. The coastal landscape begins behind the last street, the city forest invites you to jog or linger, the ghost forest in Nienhagen is half an hour away – and seems like something from another world.

For active people, there are cycle paths along the coast, stand-up paddle offers on the Warnow or sailing tours at sunset. For everyone else, it is sometimes enough to open the window and take a deep breath.

Reason no. 5

Culture with breadth

Rostock offers more than just fresh air and a view of the harbor. The city thrives on its culture: diverse, approachable and often unexpected. Between the Volkstheater and the Kunsthalle, readings in the backyard and concerts on the quay – if you want to experience culture, you’ll find it with us. In our ScanHotels, we regularly open up space for art, music and discussions. We invite people who create, inspire and ask questions. This creates culture that not only entertains, but also connects.

Ideal for weekend travelers – and anyone who wants to stay

Simply arrive and switch off: Rostock is closer than you think. It’s less than two hours from Berlin – direct by train, no changes, no stress. Perfect for a weekend by the water, a short change of perspective or a spontaneous break.
