Overlooking the Alster Lake in the heart of Hamburg, the Fairmont Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten offers gourmet dining, free WiFi and a luxury spa and fitness club, with guests rating the location an outstanding 9.9 and praising the very comfortable beds.
Its spacious, richly decorated rooms all come with an espresso machine, a flat-screen TV, a DVD player and free films.
Breakfast and afternoon cakes are served buffet-style in the Biedermeier-style Café Condi, while the elegant Haerlin restaurant holds two Michelin stars and Nikkei Nine pairs Japanese cooking with South American touches. A choice of bars rounds things off, including a lakeside terrace right on the Alster.
The hotel is 500 metres from Gänsemarkt underground station, with the Jungfernstieg shopping street, the Staatsoper opera house and Hamburg's CCH exhibition centre all within a 10-minute walk.
