A world full of contrasts

North Sea wind and Alpine breeze

Crazy about city life? Longing for country vibes? You'll find both with us! Urban Nature Hotels are places of contrasts. Somewhere in between. Vibrant and quiet. Cosmopolitan with local color. Diverse and headstrong. We are as lively as the North Sea, as free as fresh, clear mountain air and as colorful as a rainbow after a summer rain shower. Between coastal breeze and Alpine panorama, rooftop bar and infinity pool, espresso martini and mountain spring water: a place for all those who don't want to choose between the tranquillity of nature and the allure of the urban.

We celebrate diversity – from early to late, young to old and from St. Peter-Ording to Bad Gastein. And we invite you to find your place to be – somewhere in between.

Are you ready for ...

Somewhere new?

Oh la la, can you smell that, too? There's a whiff of adventure in the air. Because we're currently undergoing some changes – for the better, of course!

Not only can you find us on a new and nicer website, there is also a brand new member of the Urban Nature family: Say hi to Urban Nature Bad Gastein! The former Badeschloss brings somewhere in between to the most beautiful mountain landscapes.

And the best thing? It's not only new for you, it's also cheaper! With the promo code NEW10 you save 10% on your next feelgood break in St. Peter-Ording and Bad Gastein. But beware: the code is only available for a short time!

See you somewhere in between! :-)

Sea view or alpine panorama?

The locations

We may be torn between places, but let us create our own!

Where North Sea waves meet high-altitude exhilaration, self-care meets soul food and aesthetics are free of attitude, your time-out from everyday life and routine awaits. More of life in St. Peter-Ording? Or summit bliss in Bad Gastein? You decide.

Between dune beach and rooftop romance

St. Peter-Ording

"The world is mud-luscious and puddle-wonderful," says a poem by E. E. Cummings. And we think that's true. Because the Urban Nature Hotel St. Peter-Ording tells the story of the curious child in us who unexpectedly falls through a magical puddle – headfirst into an exciting world of contrasts. Let yourself be infected by this childlike courage to be happy and discover the magic in the little things. Waking up with a view of the wild dunes of St. Peter-Ording? Included with us! A sparkling drink on the rooftop terrace at the Scraper's Club? Coming right up! Hanging out casually in the Drifters Hang Out Bar or a beer from the Späti? Easy! A little me-time in the Lila Wolken Self Care Club and it's a wrap!

Between mountain scenery and bathing culture

Bad Gastein

Hardly any other place brings its contrasts together as charmingly as Urban Nature Bad Gastein. built in 1791 as a venerable spa castle right next to the Bad Gastein waterfall, the reopening in 2023 brought a new zeitgeist to the breathtaking scenery. While the hotel speaks a modern language today, playful reminiscences of the bathing culture of bygone eras are reminiscent. So it's not enough to just stay on the surface. Come to Bad Gastein and dip a little deeper! When you've had enough splashing around in the infinity pool on the roof, Auntie Heidi invites you to the table to take you on a culinary journey of discovery. And in the bars, we bump into old acquaintances and new encounters. Highballs, but lowkey ambience. Selected wines and cool drinks. With and without alcohol. Everything in the flow.
