Hotspot Description:
A medium-sized, 217-room, nicely gay-positioned hotel opened in 1967 as the privately owned Alster-Hof, which upgraded and reinvented itself in 2013. A year later it was taken over by the reputable and design-conscious Scandic chain, started in the 1950s. The breezy but semi-mainstream decor belongs to the previous tenant, but Scandic have tweaked where possible, most noticeably in the foyer and breakfast area, with murals of trees and other ' funky natural' detail.
