Description of hotel: Romantik Hotel Scheelehof in Stralsund

The building is believed to date back to 1318 originally. It was extended in the 17th century and then fell into partial disrepair following the Second World War. In the 1980s, it was renovated and is now a completely restored, elegant hotel. The view is spectacular – many of the rooms look out over the old town, including the city hall or St. Nicholas' Church. Romantik Hotel Scheelehof provides the ideal blend of history and modern facilities with high standards. It has an award-winning gourmet restaurant "Scheels" and a restaurant serving more basic cuisine called "Scheel’s Labor". The hotel roasts its own coffee and serves it at "Kontor Scheele". It has an excellent wellness centre with a relaxation room, including 3 saunas, a steam room and an ice cave. You can also buy spa treatments when you are there (minimum 14 years old). There are bath robes and slippers in your room. The hotel's excellent location means you are close to nice restaurants and bars both in the old town and down by the marina. Are you interested in history? Scheelehuset was built during the second half of the 14th century. The exact date is not known, but a sample of wood taken from the historic roof was dated to 1383. At that time, Stralsund, along with Lübeck, was one of the most important Hanseatic cities in the southern Baltic. Architecturally, the two buildings are gabled houses with a cellar and a hall, and are several storeys high. One of the hotel buildings has a strong link with Sweden, as Carl Wilhelm Scheele was born in this house in 1742. Scheele is considered to be one of the most famous 'Swedish' scientists of all time. And this hotel has now been named after him. ### Location On the city's oldest street in the old town. ### Your accommodation Free for children up to 5 years old sharing a room with their parents.
