"Hearts Hotel’s name is a pun on its location, in the mountain town of Braunlage, surrounded on three sides by Saxony’s Harz National Park. It’s not the first place you would expect to find a playfully stylish, decidedly modern boutique hotel, but that’s exactly what it is. The rooms come with a bit of rustic roughness, but just a bit — for the most part, they’re minimalist-inspired and rather urban in their refinement. The outdoor life is the main focus, and the hotel’s food and beverage program supports active travelers with an upscale restaurant, a hip bar, and an outdoor cooking school." - Tablet Hotels
