Europe is set to welcome its very first Harry Potter–themed hotel, promising fans an immersive journey into the beloved Wizarding World. The hotel will form part of a major expansion at LEGOLAND Deutschland Resort in Günzburg, Germany, developed through a partnership between Warner Bros. Discovery Global Experiences and Merlin Entertainments.
Designed to transport guests into a world of magic, the hotel blends meticulous architecture, detailed set design, and narrative elements to create an environment where Potterheads can truly feel part of the story.
Themed guest rooms in the hotel in Germany will reflect the four Hogwarts houses, while beds will be styled after Ron Weasley’s, bringing small but delightful details from the films to life. Communal areas are inspired by iconic locations from the series, offering spaces where visitors can relax, explore, and immerse themselves in a magical atmosphere.
This is the first time an entire hotel has been dedicated exclusively to the Harry Potter franchise. Peter van Roden, Senior Vice President of Warner Bros. Discovery Global Experiences, highlighted the ambition behind the project: “Our aim is to allow fans to experience the Wizarding World like never before, combining the creativity of LEGO with the magic of Harry Potter.” The collaboration promises a playful, immersive, and unique stay unlike any other.
Although the official opening date has yet to be confirmed, the announcement has already sparked excitement across Europe. With the new LEGO Harry Potter land and the world’s first fully themed Harry Potter hotel, LEGOLAND Deutschland Resort is positioning itself as a premier destination for Potter enthusiasts.
Located within five hours’ reach by train or car from much of Germany, the resort offers fans an accessible gateway to a fully immersive magical experience. More details about the expansion are expected to be revealed in the coming months.
For Potterheads, Europe and beyond offer countless ways to step into the Wizarding World. London boasts Platform 9¾ at King’s Cross and Leadenhall Market, while Alnwick Castle, just outside the city, served as Hogwarts in the early films. In Scotland, the Jacobite Steam Train crosses the iconic Glenfinnan Viaduct, passing the dramatic landscapes of Loch Shiel. Literary inspiration can be found in Edinburgh at the Elephant House café and Victoria Street, while Oxford’s Christ Church Hall echoes Hogwarts’ Great Hall.
Porto’s Livraria Lello, with its ornate interior, is said to have inspired Hogwarts’ library. For immersive experiences, Universal Studios’ Wizarding World in Orlando and Hollywood brings rides, shops, and Butterbeer to life, while London’s Georgian House Hotel offers themed rooms like the Gryffindor common room.
