Following the successful transformation into an award-winning individual hotel, asset manager Jagdfeld Real Estate is now taking the next step with its “Strandhotel Zingst” property and investing EUR 6.75 million in the revitalization of the building. “The ‘Strandhotel Zingst’ is more popular than ever. To ensure that this remains the case in the future, we are now investing heavily in all rooms and suites as well as the public areas. The hotel will become more modern without losing its unagitated and timeless elegance,” says Benedikt Jagdfeld, head of asset manager Jagdfeld Real Estate, which manages the hotel on behalf of an institutional investor.
When the last New Year’s Eve guests have left on January 2, the craftsmen will be in charge until the end of April 2024. They will then implement the maritime design concept of the internationally renowned interior designer Anne Maria Jagdfeld, which envisages two design concepts for all 122 rooms and suites. Sand-colored walls and elaborately embroidered, curved headboards with ikat or coral motifs give the rooms an individual, homely character. New beds with a generous length of 2.10 meters as well as new mattresses and toppers provide excellent sleeping comfort. In 20 rooms, the double beds can also be set up individually as single twin beds. The walnut furniture gives the rooms a cozy feel-good factor. New comfortable seating furniture in classic shapes and zero-waste fabrics (100% recycled) round off the new living concept – whether as an armchair or sofa. And in 20 rooms, the sofa bed can be converted into an extra bed.
A newly integrated entertainment cube with charging options for mobile devices, radio, Bluetooth streaming box and telephone as well as modern flat-screen TVs leave nothing to be desired in terms of technology. 30 rooms will also have a desk to enable guests to work.
The bathrooms are also being extensively renovated: Comfortable and almost floor-to-ceiling showers are being extended to 90 rooms, while the others are equipped with a spacious bathtub. Modern fittings with easily adjustable thermostats provide additional comfort.
The maritime design concept is continued in the public areas such as the lobby, restaurant and bar, which are also being completely redesigned. Furniture made of whitewashed black wood and coral red velvet as well as glazed tiled mirrors in the restaurant bring back memories of the spa culture of times gone by. The numerous maritime photographs that adorn the walls in a “Petersburg hanging” and a harmonious lighting concept give the room, which more guests can use thanks to new variable seating, a homely atmosphere.
Last but not least, the 1,400 m² spa and wellness area with its Finnish, bio and steam saunas will undergo a complete overhaul. Here, too, the guests’ wishes are to be met and a further relaxation room created.
Award-winning individual hotel
The “Strandhotel Zingst” has already been honored twice this year for its exceptional achievements. It is one of the 800 best accommodations out of a total of 13,000 hotels in the worldwide TUI program and was awarded the coveted “TUI Global Awards 2023”. And with a recommendation rate of 88 percent and 5.2 out of 6 points, the hotel managed by Jagdfeld Real Estate is also one of the most popular hotels among HolidayCheck guests.
In addition, the “Strandhotel Zingst” was certified as a sustainable hotel this year and was awarded the “GreenSign” certificate at the second-highest level straight away, something that only one hotel in the region had previously achieved.
The “Strandhotel Zingst”
The asset manager Jagdfeld Real Estate has been responsible for the “Strandhotel Zingst”, which opened in summer 2006, on behalf of an institutional investor from the very beginning. After the latter decided to remove the hotel from the chain hotel industry, it has been repositioned as an owner-managed individual hotel since January 2022. The “Strandhotel Zingst”, which is located on the Fischland-Darß-Zingst peninsula, has 122 rooms and suites as well as a 1,400 m² spa and wellness area with indoor and outdoor pool, whirlpool, two saunas and fitness room, restaurant and bar. The town center is 50 meters away and the beach is a two-minute walk away. The resort is located directly on the Zingster pier in the unspoiled national park, between the Baltic Sea and the Bodden.
