Art Hotel Kiebitzberg
Art-forward, family-run, nature-adjacent. Part boutique hotel, part gallery, part craft showroom. Feels personal rather than polished — handwritten welcome notes on desks, owners who walk the dining room. Not a luxury spa resort. The setting is quiet countryside on a working river.
Book the Wellness Suite Room 110 for a private Finnish sauna in the room — it's the hotel's most extraordinary room per their own description
Why It Matters
The hotel is a genuine expression of the Kiebitzberg Group's craft businesses — the furniture is made in their own carpentry workshop, the boat moorings built by their shipyard. It's on the Elbe Cycling Route, holds the German quality seal for cycling-friendly accommodation, and has on-site boat charter for river exploring. Tablet Hotels listed it for the Wagyu beef, the river location, and the wellness suites.
A family-run 4-star art hotel on the banks of the River Havel in the small Hanseatic town of Havelberg. Owned and operated by Renate and Andreas Lewerken, who built the Kiebitzberg Group around carpentry, boatbuilding, and solid-surface design — and made the hotel into a working showroom for all of it. Rotating sculptures, original paintings, and custom-built furniture fill the spaces, so the art isn't decorative wallpaper; it's structural. The restaurant Schmokenberg does seasonal regional cooking and is known for its Wagyu beef from Kuhlhausen, served on pre-order.
Where You'll Stay
10 room types available
Comfort Room
The entry-level category at the ArtHotel. Still individually furnished and part of the same craft-design approach — these aren't stripped-down budget rooms. Flat-screen TV, minibar, and private bathroom are standard across all categories.
Suite Room 250 (Tower Room)
Known as 'the tower room', this suite offers exclusive hospitality with a modern and distinctive character. No in-room sauna but a step up from the standard superior category.

A modern, exclusive suite in the main building. Individually furnished like all rooms in the hotel, with craftsmanship at the fore.
Superior Handicapped Accessible Room (Room 130)
One of two barrier-free rooms in the hotel, designed for wheelchair users. Ground-floor access in the main building. Same individual design approach as all rooms.

A step up from the standard superior, with a connecting room option in Room 510 (family configuration). Larger footprint and additional features.
