Radisson Blu Senator Hotel, Lübeck
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Book it if you want the only 5-star among our Lübeck picks, a riverfront position a few minutes from the Holsten Gate and a breakfast guests rate highly. If you mainly want a well-reviewed room for less, our Best Value pick scores higher and costs about €23 less a night.

This is our Luxury pick in Lübeck. It suits travellers who want a 5-star hotel, a pool and an easy walk into the Old Town, plus those arriving by train, since guests say the station is within walking distance. Pets are listed as welcome, which helps if you travel with a dog.
It is less suited to anyone watching extras closely. Some guests feel breakfast and parking cost too much on top of the room. If the score matters more than the star rating, note that our Best Value pick rates slightly higher.
Location and getting around
The address is Willy-Brandt-Allee 6, in Innenstadt. Guests give the location 9.7 and describe a central riverfront setting within walking distance of the Old Town and the train station.
Holsten Gate is about 0.2 km away, roughly 3 minutes on foot. St. Mary's Church is about 0.4 km, around 5 minutes, and Lübeck Cathedral is about 0.9 km, close to 11 minutes. These are straight-line estimates, but all three are easy walks.
What guests say
The hotel scores 8.7 out of 10 from 5,240 reviews, which ties for second place by score among the 6 eligible properties in our sample. That is the largest review count of our three Lübeck picks.
Location comes up first in praise. Breakfast is next: guests describe an extensive buffet with high-quality options, eggs made to order and river views from the terrace.
The recurring complaint is value for money. Some guests find room rates reasonable, while others think breakfast and parking charges are too high.
Price and what you get against our other two picks
Reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults were €175 a night, or €350 for both nights. The sample median was €95.50, so you pay a clear premium. These are not live quotes, so check today's price for your dates.
Premier Inn Lübeck City Stadtgraben, our Budget pick, was €71 a night with an 8.1 score and 3 stars. ATLANTIC Hotel Lübeck, our Best Value pick, was €152.10 a night with an 8.9 score and 4 stars. The Radisson costs about €23 a night more than the ATLANTIC, and what you get for that is the fifth star, the pool and the riverside position guests praise.
Breakfast options are listed as Continental, American and Buffet. Whether it is included in your rate is not confirmed, and guests suggest it can be pricey, so check before you book.
