DESIGN HOTELS SUMMER ROADTRIP SERIES: 24 HOURS IN HAMBURG
After living in Berlin for 2 months it was time for me to pack my bags and hit the road for the first stop on my Design Hotels Summer Road Trip. My destination - HAMBURG.
Not knowing much about the city besides the fact that it is known for its shipping hookers and that it is often called the “most charming city” in Germany by many friends, I boarded the ICE with an open mind and arrived in Hamburg Hbf an hour and a half later.
First stop, my hotel, The George. The hotel is stunning. Perched on a quiet street within walking distance, albeit a moderately lengthy one, to the Hbf and the idyllic Alster Lake and situated in trendy St. Georg. The hotel staff is good looking as the impeccable design. The hotel doesn’t leave anything out. From a rooftop terrace with Italian Antipasti from the culinarily sound restaurant Da Caio to a zen worthy spa, lake views, stocked bar, smoking room, and multiple gardens. The room was quite a treat as well with a huge bed, monogrammed towels and pink and black geometric wall paper fit for a design queen. And that’s what I was.
My recommendations:
BAR - Le Lion - situated in a private location hard to spot from the street, Le Lion is an insiders place. Sociable yet private, the bar serves up a SERIOUS cocktail, and the knowledgable staff, especially Mario, will teach you a history lesson about the bar scene that you will never forget. Not to mention the strong and precise cocktails they serve up to the trendy crowd.
PEOPLE WATCHING - Lake Alster
CLUBBING - UpperEast at the East Hotel - another design hotel masterpiece. this is the center of the red light district and has a Gaudi inspired feel. The crowd is sexy and the scene is perfect for a night on the town. Good DJS and a spectacular light scheme will keep you grooving the night away. ( I am sure the rooms live up to the sex appeal throughout the club.
ADULT ACTIVITIES - Dollhouse - good looking girls and guys entertain the guests at this Hamburg Must.
AFTER PARTY - FischMarkt - early risers and late night partiers come together in this large Hall in the shipping center of the city. Continue your party here with 2 live bands, German beer, and hangover food. Or go outside to the street market and buy fresh fish, fruit and other knickknacks.
