Ringhotel Gardels -

welcoming guests since 1882

Located centrally within the North Sea region of Dithmarschen, Ringhotel Gardels has been welcoming guests since 1882.

We are located in the small village of St. Michaelisdonn, which lies at the cross-section between the cities Brunsbüttel, Friedrichskoog and Meldorf (each around a 15 minute drive), with Heide and Itzehoe closeby (30 minutes by car). Additionally, you can reach Husum, Hamburg and Kiel in less than 1.5 hours.

Our rich breakfast buffet is available for you on weekdays from 6am to 10m as well as on weekends and public holidays from 7am to 11am. Enjoy coffee, teas, juices, various types of bread and rolls, croissants, butter and margarine, scrambled eggs, boiled eggs, fried eggs, various cold meats and cheeses, smoked salmon, savoury spreads, various jams, Nutella, various mueslis and yoghurts, fruit and vegetables - there's something for everyone.

Our restaurant Gustav's with adjoining bar is open Mondays to Saturdays from 6pm to 11pm (with kitchen open until 9pm). On Sundays the restaurant is closed. We offer international cuisine with a local twist, which we call "Dithmarscher Crossover Kitchen". In addition to our regular menu, we offer seasonal dishes, for example during the asparagus, cabbage or Oktoberfest season. We recommend to reserve a table in advance, either via OpenTable or by contacting our reception.
