I have stayed in different Fairmont hotels and have stayed in a few different nice hotels in Germany. I think there is a theme to the Fairmonts: classy, well-located, and expensive. The location is seated in downtown by the water, within walking distance to any or all the posh places you would like to visit. There are many nice hotels... more

I have travelled for more than 30 years and stayed at many great hotels. Many bad too by the way. The Fairmont Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten is one of the best ever! Every detail was just so right - so perfect. Great staff! Great bar! Amazing room. I would go back just for the fantastic bed and the great pillows. And... more

Great location on the Innen Alster lake - central but quiet too. Old style hotel, very enthusiastic staff, charming place. Fantastic room rate of €144 including taxes and breakfast - but, tiny room (avoid 351 if you can!). Bathroom toiletries: Miller Harris. If you are a member of the Leaders Club you will probably be disappointed as they do not... more

This is most definately the best hotel Ive ever stayed in. As soon as we arrived the concierge took our cases for us- no need to tip, its all part of the service! We arrived at midday, so our room wasn't ready (we werent expecting it to be). Staff on reception were very apologetic and offered to call my mobile... more

I have stayed in some of the very best hotels in the Americas, Europe and Asia traveling for over 27 years. I would love to know what Christian Moss (previous review) thinks is a great hotel. The Vier Jahreszeiten is undoubtedly the best. No, it's not perfect but, the "decor" is part of the charm. It's like going back to... more

My six year old daughter and I stayed in the Vier Jahreszeiten for a weekend in October - and we loved it! It is a classical Grand Hotel in the European tradition. It manages to combine the best of both worlds: history with its 19th century architecture, traditional furniture, old paintings and modernity with its up-to-date equipment (flat screen TV,... more

This is my first review for TripAdvisor (despite being a huge fan of the website) and the single one most compelling reasons for writing this now is to share with other readers what a perfect, luxury hotel the VF is in Hamburg. We stayed for three nights at the end of August in a junior suite on the fourth floor.... more

This is a great hotel in every detail. Yes it is expensive, but it is worth it. We stayed for one night in a luxury room with lake view (211)for 360 Euro including breakfast for 2. See the uploaded pictures and video which explains better than words, what I mean. Very big room, walk-in closet, 2 (!) safes and all... more

Fairmont (when I stayed in belonged to Raffles group) Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten is probably the best hotel that I've ever stayed - at least in terms of service and value for money. Few examples: (1) it has a really lovely old elevator which did not have an automatic door. It did not need to because every time you entered/exit the... more
