Hotel "Hafenresidenz Stralsund"

The area where this hotel was built is also known to locals as the Wet Triangle. The terrain was a swampy coastal area, which was gradually piled up. First as unloading area for building rubble until it was then filled up and fixed for the building. In the brick building, which was completed in 1955, 43 single and double rooms and suites were created. The former cash office became the bar "Strelasund". On the floor above, the meeting room was created, in which the parquet from the 1950s was preserved, as was the world map relief. The building was used during the GDR period as the office for standardization and metrology of the Seehydrographisches Dienst, where u. a. nautical instruments and other nautical systems were adjusted and rehearsed. Until February 2008, the Public Order Office was located here, which most Stralsunds can still remember. The unique all-round view from the small tower room will be able to enjoy only very special guests, as this room is not rented. And the old tower clock has now been brought back to running. Above all, the exposed location is the special pound with which the port residence wants to proliferate. That is why Sewerdom GmbH has been working for the property since 2002 as well. The purchase cost the investor group 1.3 million euros. In the reconstruction of the old office flow 5.5 million euros. A wellness facility with two saunas and a fitness center has moved into the former gatehouse. This area is connected to the hotel by a 2.50 meter wide gallery tunnel with a glass roof The tunnel had been structurally the biggest challenge. "We are practically below the waterline. The sound was always coming in, "says site manager Birger Kuhls (39). Meanwhile, the tunnel rests on a solid pile foundation. The oldest building of the complex was built in 1905. This is the pump house of the first sewage treatment plant (1 rinsing screen plant in Germany) Stralsunds. Later, it was the repair base for the ship's engines of the White Fleet. This is evidenced by an old crane runway, which can be seen in the gourmet restaurant "Prince Wizlaw I" as well as the refurbished cast-iron industrial windows. The restaurant can be reached from the hotel via the glazed orangery, which also serves as the breakfast room for the hotel. Then there will be something unique for Stralsund Hotels: a private jetty, about 30 meters long, from which the motor ship "Targa" will set sail for the guest transfers to our partner hotels on Hiddensee and Rügen. The Baltic Sea Group, which includes five hotels, together with tour operators offers this offer: The tourists start in the Hanseatic World Heritage and stay overnight in the "harbor residence" or in the "Hiddenseer", then travel by ship to the island Hiddensee, living in the "Hitthim" in the monastery or in the "Godewind" in Vitte. Finally, it goes by sea to the next island, the "Strandhotel Dranske" on Rügen.
