Modern Braunschweig abode next to leafy Bürgerpark

• Parkside location: Overlooking the verdant Bürgerpark and only a 15-minute stroll to the historic Old Town, Steigenberger Parkhotel Braunschweig boasts an excellent location in the interesting city of Braunschweig. This strikingly modern hotel has all the necessary comforts, as well as some flashy extras: the spa and wellness centre is a venue in itself, and the hotel is also home to an impressive wine bar which offers tastings.

• Refined yet creative cuisine: Evenings are taken up a notch at Brasserie An Der Oker, where high-quality, regional produce forms the bulk of the menu; there’s also an open show kitchen so you can see the crafty chefs in action. 1777 Lounge is ideal for a sundowner in a relaxed atmosphere, while wineophiles will be in heaven at Vinothek, a well-stocked library of local and international labels ripe for tasting.

• Change of pace: With 250 square metres of fitness and wellness space, the fifth floor is a haven of relaxation. Indulge in a spot of aromatherapy, stretch out tired muscles in the sauna, or get that heart rate up in the fitness centre (or run around the park, if that’s more your thing). Is it any surprise that the hotel scored a Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice 2021 award?
