Accommodation in Hannover

Hannover: Herrenhäuser Gärten und Maschsee-Sommer

Hanover tends to be underestimated – until you stand in the Herrenhausen Gardens, one of Europe's most important Baroque gardens, or stroll along the Maschsee, the lake the city laid out as a leisure ground right in its centre. The Red Thread, a line painted on the pavement, guides visitors on foot to all the key sights.

Accommodation runs from down-to-earth to representative: Concorde Hotel Am Leineschloss lives next to the state parliament, Central-Hotel KAISERHOF opposite the main station, Congress Hotel am Stadtpark beside the domed hall, and Designhotel + CongressCentrum Wienecke XI. combines conferences with design. For the Steinhuder Meer outside the gates, the sailing trip is worth the excursion.

Hanover stays an event city all year: the marksmen's festival, the Maschsee festival, Niki de Saint Phalle's Nanas on the Leine embankment. Book directly with your host and you save the portal fee – and learn on which evenings the Herrenhausen fountain leaps illuminated.
