Holiday Inn - the niu, Welly Kiel by IHG

In the heart of Kiel, a design hotel just a short walk from the Ostseekai Cruise Terminal and the Kiel Fjord. Nearby highlights include the Kiel Municipal Gallery of Contemporary Arts, Holstenstraße, Schwedenkai Ferry Terminal, Old Market Square and the main train station — ideal for cruise connections and city sightseeing.

Playful maritime style runs through the property: fish-print wallpaper, buoy-style lamps, rubber-boot motifs and street art by Tasek. The 113 air-conditioned rooms feature Smart TVs, Bluetooth speakers, plenty of USB ports, a work desk and in-room safes. Private bathrooms with showers, extra beds for families and wheelchair-accessible rooms are available.

A 24/7 Living Lobby with bar and bar food, a co-working space, bike rentals and a terrace set the scene. Complimentary wired and wireless internet, concierge, luggage storage, vending machine and a tour desk make stays easy. Pets are allowed on request (extra charge), so the place works well for pet-friendly and family-friendly trips — and you can almost taste the sea breeze from the nearby harbor.
