Our hotel
Welcome to the Hotel & Restaurant Zum Kap Arkona – where every moment tells its own story
Here, at the northern tip of the island of Rügen, where wind, sea, and sky meet, a place of tranquillity, vastness, and light is created.
Our passion for nature, genuine hospitality, and special moments defines each day – and makes the Hotel & Restaurant Zum Kap Arkona a home away from the everyday.
Whether gazing at the lighthouses, strolling along the cliffs, or enjoying a fragrant coffee in our restaurant – here, time, nature, and serenity blend into an experience that lingers.
Our Story – A Place Where Memories Live On
It all began with the Schweigert family, who built the house with much heart and passion.
From their vision to create a place of tranquillity, connection with nature, and genuine hospitality, emerged a retreat that still embodies this special spirit to this day.
Our family hotel operating company has taken over this house to continue this story – with respect for what has grown, and with the aim to carefully develop it further.
With fresh ideas, modern hospitality, and a deep appreciation for the beauty of the region, we are leading the Hotel & Restaurant Zum Kap Arkona into a new era.
So, what remains is the essence of this house:
A place to arrive, breathe, and feel good – created out of passion, carried on with dedication.
In every room, you feel what's important to us: the attention to detail, the serene atmosphere, and the warmth of our team.
From the aroma of fresh coffee in the morning to the last rays of sunshine in the evening – it's all about the feeling of having arrived.
Our rooms are simple, cosy, and full of warmth – not excessive luxury, but honest comfort that gives you space to breathe.
For those who wish, let your gaze wander over the fields, listen to the wind, or enjoy the silence that is increasingly hard to find.
Our aim is not just to offer you a stay, but to gift you moments – like walks along the cliffs, evenings on the terrace, and the feeling of freedom at Cape.
Welcome to Hotel & Restaurant Zum Kap Arkona – a place that stays, even when you have long left.
What guests say about us
Surroundings & Experiences
Kings Staircase & Violet Staircase
The King's Staircase and the Violet Staircase are among the most impressive routes down to the Baltic Sea at Cape Arkona.
Steeply embedded into the chalk cliffs, they lead to secluded beaches where the sea crashes unspoiled against the rocks.
While the King's Staircase captivates with its expansive views and history, the Violet Staircase enchants with its wild charm and unique tranquility.
Both are perfect places to feel the power of the sea up close.
The Fishing Village of Vitt
Just a walk away from Cape Arkona lies Vitt, one of the oldest and most charming fishing villages on Rügen. Amongst the thatched houses, cobblestone streets, and Baltic Sea breeze, you can truly feel the island's original way of life here.
Enjoy the view of the coastal cliffs, try fresh fish directly from the boat, and let the tranquility of this historic place wash over you – a piece of Rügen that makes time and hustle fade away.
Lighthouses of Cape Arkona
The two lighthouses of Cape Arkona are among the most famous landmarks of Rügen. They majestically perch high above the steep coast over the Baltic Sea, telling history in every beam of light.
From the old Schinkel tower to the new lighthouse, the cape offers an unparalleled panorama. Those who climb the steps are rewarded with a view that shows Rügen at its most beautiful – boundless, clear, and expansive.
