Welcome to the Waldkrone

A small gem of seaside architecture – a few steps from the sea.

Since 1906, Hotel Residenz Waldkrone has been part of the Baltic resort of Kühlungsborn. Our listed main building and the adjoining apartment house with lift, spa and beauty area are located in Kühlungsborn West, right at the start of the beach promenade.

We are a family-run 4-star house with individually furnished rooms, suites and apartments – from single rooms to tower suites with sea view. Breakfast in the conservatory in the morning, sunset on the beach in the evening.
