Best Western Plus Ostseehotel Waldschloesschen  

On Germany’s Baltic coast in Ostseebad Prerow, tucked at the edge of the Darßer forest and just about 300 meters from the wide, sandy beach. Steps from the Darss Museum and a short hop to Zingst Beach, the hotel is a family-friendly 4-star base for nature lovers and beachgoers.

Set across three park-like buildings — the main house, the old house and a garden house — the property feels more boutique retreat than big resort. There are 40 rooms including singles, doubles, junior suites and suites; most rooms include a safe, satellite TV, hairdryer and private shower, and some offer balconies, porches or separate living areas. A south-facing 400 m² terrace and a cozy lobby fireplace add to the relaxed, nature-meets-wellness vibe. Bring your binoculars: the surrounding forests reveal cranes, wild boar and deer.

A 520 m² WALDSPA is the centrepiece — indoor and outdoor pools, sauna, relaxation pavilion, plus massages, facials and cosmetic treatments. There's also an outdoor pool, indoor pool, fitness room, tour/ticket assistance, and limited-hours room service. Complimentary Wi‑Fi and free self-parking keep things easy. Expect wake-up sea-breeze mornings and forest-framed walks right outside the door.

Conference hall and a computer station support meetings and events. Express check-in and check-out are available, along with complimentary Wi‑Fi and free on-site self-parking.

Two on-site eateries — the Titania restaurant and the CP1 Bistro & tasting shop — plus a bar and café serve fresh, regional and seasonal fare sourced from local suppliers. Dine on the south-facing terrace or grab something in the tasting shop; room service is offered during limited hours.
