Fodor's Expert Review Ringhotel Friederikenhof

A lovely country hotel set in 19th-century, redbrick farmhouses 10 minutes outside Lübeck, the family-run Friederikenhof is a perfect hideaway with a soothing garden and great view of the city's skyline. Rooms are fairly large and appointed in a slightly modernized, country-house style with all the amenities of a four-star hotel. If you don't want to drive into the city for dinner, try the fresh seafood at their intimate restaurant.
