On the banks of the Mittelland Canal, the LOFTSTYLE Hotel Hannover, BW Signature Collection in Hannover, Germany, is a stylish hotel with bright loft-style rooms looking out over the city, free Wi-Fi, a restaurant, and a spacious fitness area for a workout.
High above, a rooftop bar serves cocktails with a sweeping panorama of the night-time city, and flexible event space hosts conferences for as many as 500. The canal-side setting is a calm base by the water a short ride from the city centre.
Hannover is a green Lower Saxony city built around lakes, gardens and the broad Maschsee for sailing and lakeside strolls. The grand baroque Herrenhausen Gardens dazzle with fountains and parterres, a famous red line painted on the pavement guides visitors past the old town and market church, and woods and the Eilenriede forest spread leafy paths through the centre. Boats and cafés ring the lake in summer.
