Schleswig-Holstein and the Baltic Coast Hotels

In northern Germany you'll find both small Hotelpensionen and fully equipped large hotels; along the eastern Baltic Coast, some hotels are renovated high-rises dating from GDR (German Democratic Republic) times. Many of the small hotels and pensions in towns such as Kühlungsborn and Binz have been restored to the romantic, quaint splendor of German Bäderarchitektur (spa architecture) from the early 20th century. In high season all accommodations, especially on the islands, are in great demand. If you can't book well in advance, inquire at the local tourist office, which will also have information on the 150 campsites along the Baltic Coast and on the islands.
