Hotel Kieler Yacht-Club

Exclusives Maritimes Flair mit Fördeblick

Willkommen im Hotel Kieler Yacht-Club , dem perfekten Ort für alle, die maritimen Luxus und erstklassigen Service in Kiel erleben möchten. Direkt an der Kieler Förde gelegen, kannst du hier beeindruckende Yachten und elegante Segelboote direkt von deinem Zimmer oder der Terrasse aus beobachten. Wir haben dort königlich genächtigt – im Hotel Kieler Yacht-Club – direkt an der Kiellinie. Fördeblick, großzügige Zimmer, bequeme Betten und natürlich Frühstück… Wie es uns gefallen hat? Das liest du in unserem Bericht oder du schaust dir das Video an.

DAs Hotel Kieler Yacht-Club

Auswärts Nächtigen

Warst du schon mal dort? Im Hotel Kieler Yacht-Club ? Vielleicht schläfst du zu Hause am besten. Oder, besser gesagt, hoffentlich schläfst du zu Hause am besten. Und doch gibt es hin und wieder die Gelegenheiten, an denen du die heimischen Wände (und die Schlafstatt sowieso) gern einmal verlässt, dich anderswo bettest . Möglicherweise hast du dich dann in den voran gegangenen Stunden mit schönen Dingen beschäftigt, warst aktiv, hast Menschen getroffen. Schließlich ist es an der Zeit, den Tag in Ruhe und genussvoll oder zum Beispiel in geselliger Runde ausklingen zu lassen. Du könntest dir einen Spaziergang am Wasser gönnen, den Möwen lauschen oder dem Wasserplätschern. Womöglich lässt du dich auch von einer steifen Brise ordentlich durchpusten und freust dich danach auf ein sehr schönes, gemütlich-großzügiges Zimmer. Höchst individuell, so wie du.

Schlafen mit Meerblick

Ein Traum, den sich die meisten von uns aus den unterschiedlichsten Gründen wohl nicht täglich erfüllen können. Genau genommen ist es im Zustand des Schlafens selbst vermutlich eher unerheblich, denn wirklich „blicken“ wird man dann wohl nicht. Vielleicht den letzten Blick am Abend und jedenfalls den direkt nach dem Erwachen wünscht man sich – zumindest hin und wieder monumental, spektakulär oder schlicht schön. 

Zimmer mit Aussicht – mehr als nur ein Bett

Das Hotel Kieler Yachtclub ist mit seinen Zimmern so vielfältig wie seine Gäste . Kein Zimmer gleicht dem anderen. So können verschiedene Bedürfnisse und Wünsche erfüllt werden. Greife ich noch einmal den stürmischen Wind auf, ziehe ein paar Grad Celsius ab, gespickt mit waagerechtem Regen – so ein typisches Novemberwetter eben- fällt mir die Wellness-Kajüte als das Zimmer der Wahl ein. Denn dieses Zimmer kann mit einer ganz privaten Sauna punkten. Schon bei diesen Ausführungen fühle ich mich in die beschriebene Jahreszeit versetzt und möchte mich augenblicklich dahin beamen. 

Aloha Senses

Bei  Aloha Senses  kannst du nicht nur 100% natürliche Parfums aus dem Kieler Atelier kaufen, sondern auch lernen, dein eigenes Eau de Parfum herzustellen. Termine für die Workshops findest du auf der  Website .

Ein erster Eindruck, der verzaubert

Betrittst du die Lobby des Kieler Yacht-Club , wird sofort klar, dass sich das maritime Flair des Außen hier im Innen fortsetzt. Nomen est Omen, heißt es doch so schön. Diesen Falls mit allen Annehmlichkeiten, die das Wohnen/Leben an Land so bietet. So sind die Zimmer keinesfalls mit einer Kajüte vergleichbar und auch die Betten haben nichts kojenhaftes an sich. Doch findest du überall im Hotel maritime Details, w. z. B. ein Bullauge in der Zwischentür, Modellschiffe in unterschiedlichsten Ausführungen, Gemälde mit Seeschlachten aus vergangenen Jahrhunderten. Das Gebäude spiegelt ein bisschen von der Geschichte wider, die es in sich trägt. Du kannst überall ein bisschen davon entdecken. 

Herzliches Willkommen

Wir werden schon erwartet, herzlich willkommen geheißen und sodann mit unserer Zimmerkarte „bewaffnet“. Unser Gepäck lassen wir zunächst im Zimmerflur stehen und nehmen uns Zeit, den großen Raum und das großzügige Badezimmer genau in Augenschein zu nehmen. Genussvoll verweilen wir vor den bodentiefen, gerade weit geöffneten Fenstern und nehmen den Anblick der Förde in uns auf. Einfach schön. 

Und dann kann ich einfach nicht anders: Ich wage den Sprung auf’s Bett. Okay, es ist nur ein Hüpfer. Doch dieses Ritual lasse ich mir nicht nehmen. Glieder ausstrecken und dabei den Härtegrad der Schlafunterlage herausfinden. Test bestanden! So viel kann ich schon vorweg nehmen.

Gutscheine für das Hotel Kieler Yacht-Club

Möchtest du einen Gutschein für das Hotel Kieler Yacht-Club verschenken? Du findest ihn bei uns im Online-Shop .

Den Abend läuten wir mit einem Getränk in der Bar ein und beschließen ihn mit einem solchen nach dem Essen im von Steffen Henssler betriebenen „Ahoi“, das direkt an das Hotel Kieler Yacht-Club angrenzt. 

Ganz zuletzt werfen wir noch den einen letzten Blick des Abends über die Förde, bevor wir uns genüsslich zur Ruhe betten.

Guten Morgen

Wir schlafen großartig . Und wenngleich ich morgens nicht die gesprächigste bin und häufig mich und meine Gliedmaßen zunächst sortieren muss um mich nicht etwa in der Decke zu verheddern und lang hinzuschlagen, kann ich nicht anders, als wieder vors Fenster zu treten und diesen ziemlich ergreifenden Anblick auf mich wirken zu lassen. 

Frühstück für zwei im KYC

Möchtest du ein Frühstück für zwei im Hotel Kieler Yacht-Club verschenken? Du findest den Gutscheine dazu bei uns im Online-Shop .

Frühstück im Kieler Yacht-Club

Schließlich werden mein Kaffeedurst und der Hunger meines Mannes übermächtig und so pilgern wir zum Frühstück . Dort finden wir alles, was das Herz begehrt. Als wir schließlich unser Mahl beendet haben, ist es Zeit, auszuchecken. Ein wenig wehmütig sind wir uns einig, dass wir nichts gegen eine weitere Nacht in diesem herrlichen Ambiente hätten. Unsere Nacht im Hotel Kieler Yacht-Club war mehr als nur eine Übernachtung. Es war ein besonderes Erlebnis, eine kleine Auszeit vom Alltag und ein Gefühl von Urlaub in der eigenen Stadt.

Veranstaltungsräume gibt es auch

Bei unserem Streifzug durchs Hotel haben wir auch die Gelegenheit, in die großzügigen Veranstaltungsräume zu sehen, die für verschiedene Anlässe gemietet werden können. Bis zu 250 Personen finden hier einen Sitzplatz, soll es eine Veranstaltung „im Stehen“ werden sogar bis zu 400.

Wer Kiel individuell und mit maritimem Flair hautnah erleben möchte, der ist hier im Kieler Yachtclub genau richtig.

The Clubhouse

The Hotel Kieler Yacht Club is one of the most venerable houses in the city of Kiel. It has always been closely associated with the sport of sailing. Surviving relics of the early days of the Imperial Yacht Club can still be found at the hotel.

The Imperial Yacht Club - originally the “Naval Regatta Association” - was founded in 1887 by officers of the Imperial Navy in the building of the Kiel Naval Academy. Four years later Kaiser Wilhelm II granted his approval for the Naval Regatta Association to be renamed the “Imperial Yacht Club” and declared himself its commodore.

Towards the end of the century the Kiel Yacht Club had to seek new premises when the navy needed space for expansion. Friedrich Krupp invited the KYC to build a clubhouse on his land on Hindenburgufer. By 1900 the building was completed and the KYC moved in.

Following the complete destruction of the clubhouse in World War I, a new building was erected in 1926 on the foundations of the old machine house - the current Hotel Kieler Yacht Club which continues to house the Kiel Yacht Club to this day.

After World War II the house was lavishly rebuilt in the early 1950s. It was first used as a hotel in 1954.

Over the next few years the hotel’s 17 guestrooms were expanded and modernized. At the end of the 1960s, when Kiel was chosen as a venue for the Olympic Games, it was decided to build an extension - the Olympic Wing - with 30 guestrooms and an à la carte restaurant overlooking the Kiel Fjord. In 1972 the Spanish King Juan Carlos, Greece’s former King Constantine and King Carl Gustav of Sweden stayed at the Hotel Kieler Yacht Club when they came to watch the Olympic Games.

After the hotel was taken over by ThyssenKrupp AG in July 2007, a decision was taken at the end of 2008 to demolish the Olympic Wing and lavishly refurbish the old section of the building.

Today the Hotel Kieler Yacht Club has 21 rooms and suites. The former function rooms including “Kaiser’s Hall” and “Commodore’s Hall” have been restored to their former glory. Offering an exceptional combination of style and function, they are among the most historical banqueting halls in the city.

Inside new superyacht Ulyssia with 132-room hotel, pools and theatre

• World's most wealthy will be able to own a share of the 1,050ft yacht with all the luxuries of modern living 

'For a life without boundaries,' promise the makers of the superyacht 'Ulyssia', a planned 1,050ft (320m) vessel bigger than The Titanic that its owners say with 'transform our concept of discovery and home'.

The Ulyssia is still some four years away from its expected date of completion, but new images provide unprecedented insight into the life of luxury on board, including 132 lavish apartments said to 'meet the standards of a five-star hotel', a theatre, a library, various pools and great underwater panoramic windows.

Although it is not yet known exactly how much residency on board will cost, details have begun to emerge around the kind of lifestyle guests can expect to enjoy. Beyond the essential amenities - restaurants, a medical centre, an XXL wine cellar - residents will also be able to bring home comfort on board, customising their rooms to their liking.

Residents hoping to get away from the hustle and bustle of modern life are expected to be able to take out a 50 year lease to stay on the ship in rooms ranging from 112 to 1000sq-m. Those with lives still on land will have access to two helicopters on board to bring guests back and forth.

The mega yacht belongs to Swiss company Ulyssia Residence AG and is the brainchild of Espen Øino, a veteran Monaco-based yacht designer from Norway with a track record of drawing up swanky yachts with bespoke touches for the world's richest.

The superyacht is presented as a base of operations for some of the world's most fortunate people, a place to kick back and relax after a busy day of adventuring through foreign wonders.

Alain Gruber, CEO of Ulyssia Residences AG, said: 'The concept behind Ulyssia is to travel the world - but from your own home. 

'Every day you can go out and discover new destinations around the world, but in the evening you can come back to your family in your own four walls.'

The homes on board will be offered in configurations of one to six bedrooms, and are set to include open-plan kitchens, terraces and receptions with all the comforts of the modern home.

Residents can also house guests in one of 22 slightly smaller guest apartments - also offering a space for lecturers and experts to stay when visiting, according to BOAT International , a guide for the superyacht enthusiast.

FM Architetture and eight other top designers have been drawn in to fit the interiors to residents' individual tastes.

The company has an impressive portfolio of working on boats, homes, towers and hotels in a range of classical and contemporary stylings.

To suit everybody's needs, the yacht will carry a range of permanent entertainment, including a two-level theatre, a library and several conference rooms.

Restaurants will welcome 'world famous but also up-and-coming chefs' - although residents will also have access to a grocery store with 'local products from the piers' if they fancy a quiet one. 

Beyond practical usage, the helicopters, it is promised, can also be used to 'facilitate epic adventures' like heliskiing.

'[Every resident] has something in common. They want to travel, they are curious, they are adventurous,' said Mr Gruber.

'But after that, they divide up into these sub-groups. 

'You have your foodies, you have your divers, you have your sailors, you have your art collectors, people that interested in reading and book clubs – all those subcommittees will start to form on board and create a real sense of community.'

For longevity, the yacht will be powered by methanol and other biofuels, according to Bild , ensuring it can keep sailing for decades without becoming too taxing on the environment.

Solar panels will also help make use of natural resources to slash emissions on this ship of the future.

Ownership will be on a shared freehold basis, with residents owning the ship in perpetuity and in proportion to the square footage owned, BOAT International reports.

Things to Do

Music and concerts, music and concerts | what to know if you’re headed to the minnesota yacht club festival, gwen stefani, alanis morissette and red hot chili peppers are headlining.

For the first time in a dozen years, St. Paul’s Harriet Island Regional Park will host a major rock and pop music festival, dubbed the Minnesota Yacht Club Festival, on Friday and Saturday.

Headlined by Gwen Stefani, Alanis Morissette and Red Hot Chili Peppers, the festival (which despite its name has nothing to do with yacht rock) is promoted by C3 Presents, an Austin, Texas, company that’s also behind Austin City Limits Music Festival, Voodoo Music + Arts Experience and the modern-day Lollapalooza. C3 was the largest independent promoter in the world until Live Nation bought a controlling stake in the company in 2014.

Organizers expect to attract more than 30,000 concertgoers each day.

While the Irish Fair of Minnesota calls Harriet Island home each August, music festivals have had a rough go on the site. The original Lollapalooza (back when it was a traveling festival) landed on the site in 1991, 1992 and 1994, but flooding forced the fest to move to the late St. Paul Civic Center in 1993.

Live Nation attempted to establish a new annual event, the River’s Edge Music Festival, in 2012. Despite big-name headliners Tool and the Dave Matthews Band, the festival didn’t attract enough paying customers to convince the concert promoting giant to return for a second year.

Here’s what folks headed to the Minnesota Yacht Club Festival need to know:

As of Wednesday afternoon, tickets were still available at a number of price points, starting at $135 for one day general admission (or $255 for two days) all the way up to platinum tickets for $925 ($1,395 for two days), which include a number of perks including free food and drinks, front-of-stage viewing and access to an air-conditioned lounge. See minnesotayachtclubfestival.com for details.

Many of the general admission and general admission plus tickets are sold out, but there are verified resale tickets available, some at lower prices than face value.

Getting there

There are two entrances to the festival. The main entrance is at Harriet Island Boulevard and South Wabasha Street, while the west entrance is on West Water Street between Bidwell Street and Plato Boulevard.

There is no on-site parking at the festival, but its website lists numerous downtown St. Paul parking lots that are a 10- to 16-minute walk from the site. Several Metro Transit buses stop a half-mile from Harriet Island. The rideshare drop off is at 49 E. Fillmore Ave. The festival promises “ample bike parking” located near the two entrances.

What is allowed on site

Feel free to bring: Small clutch purses and fanny packs (6” x 9” or smaller) with no more than one pocket, all other bags must be clear and smaller than 12” x 6” x 12”, empty hydration packs and reusable water bottles, strollers, frisbees, binoculars, blankets, basic cameras (no detachable lenses or other accessories), sunscreen in non-aerosol containers (3.4 ounces or less), personal-sized hand sanitizer and factory sealed Naloxone/Narcan kits.

What isn’t allowed

Pretty much everything you would think, including outside food and beverage, coolers, aerosol containers, umbrellas, chairs, wagons, skateboards, drones, fireworks and illegal substances.

Concertgoers must wear securely fastened wristbands that are available at the box office. Wristbands can be activated online to add an emergency contact and to use for cashless transactions (with a pin number). Wristbands that are damaged, lost or stolen can be replaced by the original purchaser one time only for $20. Patrons can leave and reenter at will up until 7 p.m. each day.

There is a guest services tent that has earplugs and a lost and found. Free hydration stations are located throughout the site. Lockers are available to rent for $25 each day or $48.50 for both.

Who is playing

Doors open at 12:30 p.m. There are two stages, with staggered performances that do not overlap.

Friday’s schedule includes: Gully Boys (1-2 p.m.), Harbor and Home (2-2:40 p.m.), Morgan Wade (2:40-3:40), Michigander (3:40-4:40), Joan Jett and the Blackhearts (4:40-5:40), Durry (5:40-6:40), Gwen Stefani (6:45-8), The Head and the Heart (8-9) and Alanis Morissette (9-10:30).

Florida developer Sergio Pino found dead amid FBI ‘murder for hire’ investigation

Real estate developer Sergio Pino, one of the country’s largest Hispanic residential builders, died by suicide Tuesday morning after FBI agents arrived at his Cocoplum home amid what the bureau called a “murder for hire” investigation related to threats  made against his estranged wife, Tatiana Pino.

It was a startling end for a prominent businessperson who faced a federal inquiry into whether he had any connection to a group of men charged with stalking and threatening his wife of more than three decades during a contentious divorce. The dissolution of the couple’s marriage had played out in shocking headlines since FBI agents raided Pino’s Coral Gables home and office in late June — the pages of their divorce file show the couple relaying alleged incidents of poisoning, vehicle fires and a drive-by shooting at Sergio Pino’s home in recent years. Threats made against Tatiana Pino and her sister, including arson and a hit-and-run, led to the arrests of four men, including one of Sergio Pino’s household employees, earlier this year.

Early Tuesday, weeks after the first raid, FBI agents descended on Sergio Pino’s Coral Gables neighborhood as part of a “search and arrest” operation related to a murder-for-hire investigation that began in the fall of 2023, according to a statement by Special Agent in Charge Jeffrey Veltri. A SWAT team entered Pino’s home after attempting to call out to anyone inside and getting no response, according to the FBI’s statement. Veltri said that Pino, who was 67, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound and that FBI agents discovered him “alone in an upstairs bedroom.”

Law enforcement raided another home in Cutler Bay as part of the operation. One person was arrested, according to Veltri, who did not provide the suspect’s name or further details.

In a statement Tuesday afternoon, Pino’s criminal defense attorney criticized the FBI’s actions.

“Sergio Pino took his own life today,” said lawyer Sam Rabin. “The level of law enforcement activity at his residence was unprecedented and unnecessary, especially since we had offered to surrender him, should that have become necessary. Today’s events mark a very tragic ending to an investigation that we were confident we could successfully defend. There were many rumors and allegations, but what was lacking was evidence.”

Pino, the founder of Century Homebuilders Group and a high-profile Miami-Dade County builder and political donor for decades,  had denied any involvement  in the incidents involving his wife.

The striking scene in Cocoplum unfolded Tuesday morning as FBI agents returned to Pino’s home, where the couple once lived together. For much of the morning, Coral Gables police cruisers blocked off Isla Dorada Boulevard, where the house is located. A series of loud bangs could be heard from about a block away, beginning at 9:30 a.m., about every 15 minutes. Two helicopters hovered overhead at the waterfront estate, near the Cocoplum Yacht Club.

Around 10 a.m., Coral Gables Fire Rescue arrived with lights on. Thirty minutes later, an ambulance left with lights on but no siren. Around 11:30 a.m., a van from the Miami-Dade County Medical Examiner’s office arrived in the area.

The Miami-Dade Medical Examiner’s office later confirmed that Pino died inside his home on Isla Dorada Boulevard around 10:20 a.m.

The residence was not visible from the area blocked off by law enforcement on Tuesday morning.

A person in the neighborhood told the Miami Herald that law enforcement surrounding the house appeared calm, with weapons pointed at the ground. The person said that at one point they heard police say over the megaphone that they would breach the front door.

Tatiana Pino’s lawyer, Raymond Rafool, declined to comment Tuesday afternoon. “Under the circumstances, we are not commenting at this time,” he said.

Four Miami-Dade men, including an employee of Sergio Pino’s, were arrested earlier this year in connection with threats and attacks against Tatiana Pino and her sister. Bayron Bennett, who worked putting together food and beverage service on Sergio Pino’s yacht, is accused of recruiting Michael Dulfo, Edner Etienne and Jerren Howard to carry out a hit-and-run at Tatiana Pino’s residence and multiple arsons at her sister’s residence. The four men have pleaded not guilty.

A rented Home Depot trailer  rammed into Tatiana Pino’s car  as she pulled into her driveway after a day of divorce proceedings in August 2023. And three vehicles were set ablaze in two separate arsons at Tatiana Pino’s sister’s residence.

In a motion filed on July 5, Tatiana Pino’s divorce attorney said there had been another “attempt on Ms. Pino’s life just weeks ago at her home.” Pinecrest police have refused to release the report from that incident because it is part of the ongoing federal investigation.

In court testimony, Tatiana Pino said she blamed health problems  on what she believed was a poisoning attempt  by her husband. Sergio Pino had denied that allegation.

And he testified that he had also received threats throughout the divorce proceedings.

A month after Tatiana Pino filed for divorce, Sergio Pino said someone  shot at his Coral Gables home  and that he had received threatening phone calls around that time.

In September 2023, shortly after the hit-and-run at Tatiana Pino’s residence, Sergio Pino said someone set his car on fire. About a year before that, he testified, another car of his was vandalized.
