Weissenhaus on the Baltic Sea: castle suite with a double-sided fireplace, private sauna and a chauffeur between the buildings

The places we stopped at along the way — each with its own review.

Dinner · dag 1 Weisenhaus – Bootshaus 4.0 Restaurant · Weissenhaus On the first evening we had a table at Bootshaus, the resort's beach restaurant right on the Baltic Sea, and we had a lovely evening with really good starters and service that was on top of things. The main courses just didn't quite reach the level we had expected for the price, but we will be back all the same. Read the review → Dinner · dag 2 Weisenhaus Kavalierhaus 4.8 Restaurant · Wangels Kavaliershaus served a superb breakfast. There were bubbles, delicious cheeses, charcuterie and small dishes served at the table in a calm and wonderfully cosy atmosphere. Read the review →

Arriving along the avenue

You arrive along an impressive avenue lined with beautiful trees, leading up to a large gate that opens onto the grounds. Even at this point, the resort struck us as very beautiful and exclusive.

The staff were ready to welcome us, and everything ran calmly, quickly and with complete professionalism. They took the car and dealt with the parking, and our luggage was brought up to the room.

We were given a glass of champagne before being shown to our suite. A truly lovely start.

The castle, the woods and the Baltic Sea

The grounds are extensive. They consist of a main house, which is the castle itself, and a whole series of other buildings scattered around it. According to the hotel, the estate covers 75 hectares with a beach on the Baltic Sea, and the rooms and suites are spread across 11 different buildings.

The resort sits right on the water, with nature all around you. There are woods, trees and paths, and plenty of opportunities to wander and enjoy the grounds. We found the whole place magical and unusually beautiful.

According to the hotel's own information, the resort opened in 2014 after a thorough restoration, and it has been a member of Relais & Châteaux since 2018. The hotel has been awarded two MICHELIN Keys in the MICHELIN Guide.

Schloss Suite, room 9

We had booked the Schloss Suite, the large suite in the castle building itself. It felt like roughly 90 m² to us, and the hotel lists the category at 80-93 m². Our first impression was of a very large, very grand room with many beautiful details that suited staying in a castle.

There was a truly enormous bed, a spacious sitting area and plenty of storage space. The bathroom was gigantic, with a separate toilet, and as a special luxury there was a private sauna in the suite.

The most impressive feature was the wood-burning fireplace. It is double-sided, so the fire can be enjoyed from both the sitting room and the bathroom. And it was clearly meant to be used. Plenty of firewood was laid out ready, along with kindling and matches, and the staff topped up the wood every single day.

The small things made an impression too, including the very fine switches by the bedroom and bathroom.

A romantic welcome in the suite

We had booked a romantic stay, and it showed from the very first moment. A bottle of lovely champagne was waiting in the suite, along with cakes and flowers.

There was also a bottle of port in the room. Everything was beautiful and well thought through, and we felt that everything in the room worked, from the large elements right down to the small details.

Breakfast at Kavaliershaus

Breakfast was really delicious. It was served in Kavaliershaus and gets its own review, so we won't go into detail here.

The gourmet breakfast was included in the stay. There was no extra charge for bubbles at breakfast either.

Restaurants, bar and spa

We ate and drank our way thoroughly around the resort. Bar 1896, the Vitalbar in the spa area, Bootshaus and NAMI each get their own review, as does the Schlosstherme spa. We have therefore kept them out of our assessment of the hotel itself.

It is worth knowing, though, that food and drink on site are generally at the upper end of the price scale.

Personal and professional service

The service was extremely professional and personal throughout. The suite was cleaned every day, and in the evening the staff came back for a turndown. The curtains were drawn, the bed was prepared for the night, and the room was tidied so it was a pleasure to return to.

The minibar was included in our stay and held soft drinks and beer, among other things. It was restocked in the evening if we had drunk anything, and we could also use the fridge for our own items. There was a coffee machine in the room, and room service was available.

Communication was good and the staff were flexible. We honestly cannot point to a single thing that didn't work.

Valet parking and chauffeur

We came in our own car, and the staff took care of the parking from the moment we arrived.

An extra luxurious touch is the chauffeur service between the buildings. You can quite simply ask to be picked up at the castle and driven to a restaurant, for example, or anywhere else on the large estate. The cars were new Porsche Cayennes. We thought that was rather swish, almost like a little limousine service on the resort.

According to the resort's own information, the service is free of charge and runs from 08:00 to 22:00.

Price and value

We won't give the exact figure, but it is expensive. The price depends a great deal on which room you choose, and food and drink on site are also at the upper end.

On the other hand, both the minibar and the gourmet breakfast with bubbles were included in our stay. And we are in no doubt. It was worth every penny.

Departure on Sunday

We checked out on Sunday 8 November after three nights. Check-out was possible at 12.00, so there was no need to rush.

You can also stay on at the resort after checking out and pay for access to the spa for the rest of the day, if you want to get even more out of your stay.
