The year 2025 was a particularly eventful and heart-warming time for us at the Strandhotel Zingst on the Baltic Sea, full of encounters. We welcomed many new guests and saw many familiar faces again. A special highlight was our regular guests' week in November, when we spent a wonderful time with our loyal guests, full of conversation, warmth and shared experiences. We were also honoured with several awards this year. We were once again able to celebrate victory in the "Zingster Suppenwanderung" (Zingst Soup Walk) and were once again ranked among the outstanding hotels worldwide by "HolidayCheck" and "FALSTAFF travel" – an accolade that fills us with great pride. But we don't just want to look back, we also want to look forward with anticipation. Together with you, we look forward to many more wonderful moments at the Strandhotel Zingst.
