The George Hotel, Hamburg

The name says it all: Behind the plain façade in the trendy St. Georg district hides an exciting design hotel done in the "new British style." Subdued light, lamps with playfully puckered shades, paisley wallpaper, classic club leather armchairs, a huge Chesterfield couch to sprawl on, and choice furniture pieces in colonial style lend the atmosphere and characters of a London club to the premises. The rooms have a modern interior with black-and-white contemporary photographs on the walls, and use Indian saris for bedspreads. Yet the most beautiful place to be is the rooftop. The lounge on the rooftop patio commands a splendid view of the waters of Aussenalster. Very stylish!
Price range €
Great extras in the rooms, such as nude-coloured tights just in case, and violet-coloured dumbbells that are meant to encourage guests to do their workout on the riverbank.
Most rooms actually have no view of the lake – indeed none of the rooms on second, third, and fourth floor do. Only three rooms have a scenic view and a dedicated balcony.
