Cuba's head of state Fidel Castro has stayed here and Helmut Schmidt has also signed the guest book - the Hotel Neptun, a place of longing for decades and a landmark of Rostock's seaside resort Warnemünde, is celebrating its 55th anniversary in June. To mark the occasion, the elegant building has now been decorated in gleaming gold.
According to the hotel operators, 55 balconies in golden garb are a reminder that the traditional hotel was inaugurated in 1971. According to the information provided, the artist behind the campaign is Joerg Waehner. Last year, he already gave the Mies van der Rohe Haus Berlin in Berlin a golden glow with rescue foil. The hotel has reportedly already welcomed over nine million guests from more than 120 countries during its existence.
