In the centre of Hanover, Kastens Hotel Luisenhof, WorldHotels Luxury, is a grand hotel that has blended tradition with modern comfort for generations, with an elegant feel, a lively lobby bar, a refined restaurant, room designs that are always being refreshed, free Wi-Fi, and a long-standing following of returning guests.
The main station, the old town and the shopping streets are all within easy reach, with theatres and the trade fairgrounds close by. It is a familiar address for meetings and celebrations, with concert halls and the opera a short walk away.
Hanover is the capital of Lower Saxony, a green city of royal gardens and one of the world's great trade-fair venues. The Herrenhausen Gardens fan out in clipped lawns and fountains, the New Town Hall rises in grand style above its lake, and the man-made Maschsee draws sailors and walkers in summer. A modern-art museum holds a fine collection, old half-timbered houses gather around the Market Church, and one of Europe's largest city forests spread green right through the middle of town.
A painted line on the pavement, called the Red Thread, guides visitors on a walking trail past the city's landmarks, linking old and new across the centre.
