Experience modern comfort with a Scandinavian touch – Hotel Zur Rennbahn is idyllically located in the countryside and yet only about 30 minutes south of Hamburg. All hotel rooms were completely renovated at the end of 2024 and offer a bright, welcoming atmosphere with high-quality wooden elements. Each room features a double bed that can be separated into two singles, as well as a cozy armchair that quickly converts into a third bed – perfect for families or friends. The modern bathrooms were already updated in 2022: half of the rooms come with a bathtub, the other half with a spacious shower. Whether you're on a business trip, a stopover, or a short holiday – restful sleep in a peaceful setting with direct access to the vibrant city of Hamburg awaits you here.
At Hotel Zur Rennbahn, we look forward to welcoming our guests personally – warmly, straightforwardly, and with authentic North German hospitality. Our small team is fully committed to making your stay as comfortable and pleasant as possible. We ourselves love rural life and the proximity to the River Elbe just as much as the cultural highlights of Hamburg. As hosts, it’s especially important to us that you feel relaxed and at home – whether you're cycling through the countryside or spending an evening in the Hanseatic city. Don’t hesitate to contact us – we're always happy to help!
The location in Drage offers the best of both worlds: nature and proximity to the city. Just outside the door, the Elbe dike, lush marshlands, and small natural bathing spots invite you to walk, cycle, and unwind. A true regional highlight is the Stover Rennen – one of Northern Germany’s oldest horse races. Every year, this traditional event attracts thousands of visitors to the meadows along the dike. Only around 30 minutes away lies Hamburg – one of Germany’s most exciting cities. There you can explore the famous Miniatur Wunderland, enjoy a concert in the world-renowned Elbphilharmonie, or go shopping and dining at the brand-new Westfield Hamburg-Überseequartier with over 200 stores and restaurants. Hamburg is also home to one of Europe’s most diverse musical and cultural scenes – well worth a visit! The historic salt town of Lüneburg and the scenic Lüneburg Heath are also easily reachable. Whether you’re into nature, culture, shopping or events – around Hotel Zur Rennbahn, you'll find something for every taste.
