The rooms are beautifully and elegantly furnished. The spa area extends over 2 floors and is spacious. The number of loungers at the pool is very small, so if a lot of guests want to use the facilities in bad weather, it will be tight. The pool and hot tub are a nice size, the outdoor pool is also an acceptable size. Personally, it was a bit too cold for me. In my opinion it was too cold in the entire spa area and I didn't want to lie on my lounger without a bathrobe. The entire area also seems very cool, there is little to nothing decorative. The treatments were all of outstanding quality and all the staff, whether service staff or spa staff, were friendly and open. Every wish was fulfilled as best as possible or nice alternatives were offered.

This place is magical - wild Baltic Sea coast away from the mainstream tourist hustle and bustle, picturesque white seaside resort palaces, wonderful food and charming, friendly staff in the hotel and restaurants.I think there's almost no better place to hide from the world for a few days. Especially if you look for a time outside of the high season. In October that means you can walk for hours through the salty sea air along the cliffs, seagulls and cormorants and waves on one side, and on the other these surrealistically beautiful beech forests that look like a romantic painting, no matter what the weather.When you come back, you can walk from the beach straight up to the hotel's SPA facility, get a bathrobe and towels and warm up in one of the very steam rooms or saunas, or swim a few laps in the pool (the outdoor pool - heated , in my opinion, because the water temperature was very pleasant for the beginning of October - has an incomparably beautiful outdoor panorama, golden sun-drenched beech tree crowns on one side, white palace architecture on the other). Then head to the very cozy bar for a coffee and a bite to eat. After two or three days you have practically forgotten that there is another world out there ;-)The simple facts: Great & spacious spa and pools (be sure to visit the outdoor pool when it's open), a decent, well-equipped gym, several restaurants, but advance reservations are recommended. We were impressed by the sushi restaurant, but the other restaurants also serve excellent food. If you can, you should plan your stay during quieter times, then the house will reveal all its charm. I would avoid long weekends following public holidays or similar high-frequency times, as then it becomes hectic and crowded, and the all-round carefree service suffers a bit as a result.To sum it all up - we were thrilled, enchanted and had an incredibly good time.

The Grand Hotel Heiligendamm - a luxurious jewel on the Baltic Sea that impresses with its classicist architecture, beautiful grounds and excellent service. The first-class restaurants spoil you with culinary delights, while the well-kept rooms with sea views invite you to relax. For us as a family, the hotel is a place to recharge our batteries and collect unforgettable moments. A special hideaway that we love to return to again and again. Absolutely recommended!

The hotel's service is subpar and absolutely unworthy of a 5-star hotel. We booked the hotel for 3 nights on a Sunday evening around 8 p.m. In the morning my wife took a corona test and was positive, but actually not really sick. Out of concern for the other guests at the Hotel Heiligendamm, we didn't start our vacation and canceled the trip the next morning, just a few hours after booking. Even booking.com understood our decision and informed the hotel in writing that they would waive the booking commission. We spoke to the hotel 5 times and tried to clarify our situation. In addition to the fact that we were never called back despite being promised a call back, we and booking.com were charged the full booking amount for all overnight stays or not refunded. I just call that embarrassing for a hotel like this and a total rip-off. Next time we should travel despite the Corona infection. We just wanted to take precautions for the hotel's guests and employees.

My husband, Axel Klages, and I have been coming to this beautiful location for at least 15 years, sometimes twice a year.However, since we have different names, it has not yet been possible to put them together, a technical problem certainly.The location of the hotel, the look and the beautiful outdoor area are indescribably appealing.The rooms are stylishly furnished, but are getting old. The showers are equipped with heavy old shower heads and are a bit unkempt in the corners. Unfortunately, the bathroom lighting is also a bit dark, but that's certainly a matter of taste.The beds were a bit sagging, so it would be nice if the mattresses were either changed or replaced.The Nelson bar, the library, the breakfast area are still gorgeous. The pool is nice and big and is a pleasure even when it rains.The car attendants are pleasantly helpful, even recognize regular guests by name (maybe this is due to the special cars we drive 😉) and make the first impression perfect.Unfortunately, there is no recognition at the reception (you could check in advance on the PC).While there used to be a chilled wine and selected fruit, together with a handwritten card to greet you in the room, today a small, lonely ensemble of chocolates is the welcome greeting.Ultimately, most of the employees are very friendly.We are also happy to be in the spa department, even though many employees, including those in that area, have left this year.The new concept of holding lots of activities is interesting.It is important that this new concept does not forget what the “bread and butter business” is, namely the guest and their satisfaction.

Not as five star as I would've liked. We weren't really informed of everything on arrival. No water stations available at the spa.The restaurant food prices are beyond ridiculous!!! For 1 or 2 nights ok, but if you stay longer like 7 nights, the restaurants will bankrupt you! Food shouldn't be that expensive. The bar NY club sandwich was very average. The burger was good. But €34 for a burger!The indoor spa was a baby and child playground splashing and screaming everyday, occupying the jacuzzi so adults couldn't relax in there. The main steam room didn't work.The room was nice maybe a little dated.Overall we enjoyed our stay but I wouldn't classify it as 5 stars.

We stayed in this 5-star hotel for a total of two weeks.There were many dubious recommendations upon arrival, which fortunately we hardly implemented:Upgrading from bed and breakfast to half board wouldn't have been for us at all.The note “... this way you are always guaranteed a seat in the outdoor restaurant...” was downright intrusive (in hindsight) because this area was really poorly attended in the evenings.79 € per person + Drinks for a 3-course menu are also an announcement (x 14 days!)In addition, there are only a few options when it comes to food selection.The recommendation of an in-house parking space (between 15 and 35 €) was even more grotesque, as we parked for 5.75 € every day, no problem!On weekends, the service at breakfast was sometimes catastrophic:If you serve in a German hotel where the majority of guests are seniors, you can expect to have more knowledge of German. The prudence and speed at work can also be a little more customer-oriented.The cleanliness of the rooms was ok, but not outstanding!Unfortunately, our elevator on the 4th floor wasn't vacuumed once in two weeks.There was also a weekly offer in the evening that was interesting: a cinema in the open air in the evening: they even charged an entrance fee, which really annoyed us because the hotel was already expensive enough!Why not offer such a small event for free?The hotel can't really care about the few euros, because we recognized some potential savings during our stay that are probably more financially lucrative than the entrance fee.When it comes to the breakfast buffet, you have to admit without envy that it was really excellent when everything was there and you didn't have to wait 5 minutes for fresh plates or bowls.Oh yes: rolls were almost always in short supply, but there was bread.

I've been a regular visitor to Heiligendamm for years, and it used to be my favorite weekend getaway. The architecture is still beautiful, the rooms are pleasant, and the location is fantastic. The food, especially breakfast, is very good (though breakfast can get quite crowded).However, the overall experience has declined, particularly with the SPA. No more free towels, and the pool is consistently overcrowded with loud children, as the designated kids' swim times now run all day (11am-6pm), which wasn’t the case before. This makes the pool area practically unusable for anyone seeking a peaceful experience. Service at the pool has also deteriorated—tables and lounge chairs are left uncleaned for hours.The Nelson bar menu is uninspiring, and I can't understand why a 5-star hotel doesn’t serve proper espresso from a real Italian espresso machine, instead opting for what seems like industrial coffee.Considering the high price, especially for the sea view rooms, the hotel no longer offers good value for what you get. It’s disappointing.

3rd visit 29/8-31/8/24Room 50042 people + baby (stroller) + small dogRoom:⭐Room 5004 (junior suite) is far too small for 2 adults plus a child and a small dog. Unfortunately you can see that almost everything is a bit dated. The douche doors are not clean. How much does it cost to replace the shower door seal every year +/- max 20 euros for 2 seals.Room has a nice terrace.Service: the staff are friendly and attentive.⭐⭐⭐⭐, thank you very muchDo you notice that the employees at breakfast are a bit overwhelmed, not enough staff?Breakfast compared to last year: selection a little less?? Quality maybe a little less or “cheaper”.Conclusion: 🌟🌟🌟Price / Quality: 🌟🌟👎 (Downward spiral??)Service: 🌟🌟🌟🌟23/3- 26/3/23Room 11062 people, 1 baby and 1 dog.We had booked for 3 nights (2 prsons and a baby). Unfortunately, when we checked in, we weren't told that the room in the bar directly downstairs was a wedding party. At 2330 complained "yes, sorry, we should have told you that. You can move at 2300/2400 with a baby, we didn't do that.We would have room 1106, a bedroom-living room and bathroom with a bathtub. The chairs/sofa and bed are comfortable. View of the sea. Unfortunately the room is a bit dated, small TV, internet is so bad and streaming to the TV is not possible. A plus dogs are allowed. Everything was clean. So that's ok. few closets only 1 small closet in the bedroom.Breakfast is good, big choice for vegans too.The dinner is good but not refined. That happened once but not again. Next day dinner in the Kosi restaurant (1 km further away) much more refined and cozy. Little or no vegan choiceSport / spa: it can't be true only open until 1900.Parking: 6 or more charging points, great, 1x charging 30 euros so a bit expensive. Parking 100 meters further in front only 5 euros per day.Not like in Breitenbacher Hof or Steigenberger Dusseldorf a smoking area where you can relax with a good cognac/whisky and a sigar.Unfortunately, the sushi restaurant was not open.
