A Harry Potter Hotel Is Coming to LEGOLAND — in Germany!
Calling all young witches and wizards: this one deserves a full-volume "Accio!" LEGOLAND Deutschland Resort in Günzburg, Germany, is building the world's first LEGO Harry Potter land, plus the first official Harry Potter-themed hotel anywhere on the planet.
Picture Hogwarts and the Wizarding World rebuilt brick by colorful brick, then imagine your crew heading "upstairs" to sleep in a Harry Potter-themed room instead of a plain hotel bed. That overnight piece is what makes this announcement so special. Universal's Wizarding World parks don't offer official Harry Potter hotel rooms, so this will be a true first for fans who've always wanted the magic to last past closing time.
Key Takeaways
What: the world's first LEGO Harry Potter land plus the first-ever Harry Potter-themed guest accommodation.
Where: LEGOLAND Deutschland Resort in Günzburg, Bavaria, Germany. Nothing has been announced for LEGOLAND California.
Who: Merlin Entertainments, Warner Bros. Discovery Global Experiences and the LEGO Group.
When: no opening date announced. Merlin said more details would come over the 12 months after the December 2025 announcement.
Still unknown: room count, room designs, ride lineup, ticket prices and hotel rates.
What Has Been Announced So Far
The first details came in a Merlin Entertainments press release dated December 1, 2025. It confirms two things: a themed land that recreates Hogwarts and the Wizarding World in LEGO bricks, and Harry Potter-themed guest accommodation at the same resort.
Merlin describes the project as its largest-ever single investment into an existing site. That is a notable statement from a company that runs LEGOLAND parks around the world, and it suggests the land will be a major addition rather than a small themed corner.
The official LEGOLAND Deutschland Harry Potter page calls it "a magical new land in the making" and describes a blend of creativity, wizardry and play. It does not list rides, room details or a timeline.
Who Is Behind the Project
Three well-known names are involved. Merlin Entertainments operates the LEGOLAND parks, Warner Bros. Discovery Global Experiences handles the Harry Potter side of the partnership, and the LEGO Group brings the brick-built look.
Merlin CEO Fiona Eastwood said the partnership marks "Merlin's largest-ever single investment into an existing site." Peter van Roden of Warner Bros. Discovery Global Experiences said the destination will let fans "step into the familiar LEGO Harry Potter aesthetic."
Theme park trade coverage, including this report from Theme Park Insider, notes that this is the first time a Harry Potter hotel has been announced anywhere, since Universal has not built one at its Wizarding World parks.
What We Don't Know Yet
Quite a lot is still open, and it is worth being careful here because some travel sites have printed details that official sources have not confirmed.
Opening date: Merlin has not given a year. A few travel websites say 2026, but neither the press release nor the LEGOLAND Deutschland page confirms it.
Hotel details: we found no official room count, no room designs and no rates. Some sites mention four house-themed rooms, but we could not find that in any official announcement.
Land details: no ride lineup, height rules or ticketing information has been published.
Booking: reservations are not open. The resort asks interested visitors to sign up for its newsletter for updates.
We will update this post when LEGOLAND Deutschland releases official details.
About LEGOLAND Deutschland Resort
LEGOLAND Deutschland sits near Günzburg in Bavaria, between Munich and Stuttgart, and is one of the largest theme parks in the region. Its official site lists 68 rides and attractions, and the park is designed for families with kids ages 2 to 12.
The resort already has several places to stay, including the Forest Adventure Lodge, the NINJAGO Quarter, the Pirate Island Hotel, themed cottages, castles and campsites. The Harry Potter rooms will be the first official accommodation of their kind, so it is not yet clear whether they will be a new building, a themed section of an existing hotel, or something else.
What This Means for Los Angeles Families
Start dreaming up that European adventure. Günzburg sits in Bavaria between Munich and Stuttgart, so a LEGO Harry Potter stop fits easily into a bigger family trip filled with fairy-tale castles, pretzels the size of your kid's head, and Alpine scenery straight out of a storybook.
For SoCal families who have already done the Wizarding World at Universal Studios Hollywood, this is the next level: Hogwarts in LEGO brick form and a themed hotel room to fall asleep in. We'll share opening dates, ticket details, and hotel booking info here as soon as they're announced, so you can start planning your own magical getaway.
