The Grand Ahrenshoop
Since its foundation in 1891, the guests at Ahrenshoop’s best hotel have been romanced by breathtaking views of the Baltic Sea.
Over the years the iconic building has changed hands many times. In 1911, Miss von Walsleben purchased the Bogislav and after extensive renovations it opened as a hotel named Haus Wenden.
By 1919 the property had been purchased again, by Ribnitzer City Council and the Krefelder Silk Weavers, who renamed it Kurhaus. It was later nationalized in 1953 and operated under the name Kurhotel. Just one year later the GDR culture ministry was responsible for its management. In 1968, the old house had fallen into disrepair and closed.
In 2008, the vacant building was demolished and reopened two years later. After several name changes, The Grand Ahrenshoop as we know it today was unveiled in 2015.
While Ahrenshoop’s most luxurious address has a storied history, today it’s lauded throughout Germany for its modern architecture, warm hospitality and postcard-perfect views.
