All I can say is WOW! What a fabulous hotel!
The hotel is a modern building located on the Alter Wall, superbly situated for walking to all the sites in Hamburg including the harbour, Reeperbahn, Alster, etc.
I was greeted by the enthusiastic and friendly bell staff who took me to the front desk. Upon arrival there is a small table where they offer a welcome drink to you and the check in is extremely efficient and hospitable. It is a large modern lobby.
You go up the glass encased elevators and admire a nice view of the city and then come to your room. Amazing!
The room is huge, has a comfortable seating area including a lovely sofa, a work area and the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. The entire room is extremely tastefully appointed with a modern feel, typical of most Sofitels.
The bathroom was huge, separate shower from the deep large bath, marble everything, L'Occitane bath products, excellent.
I had room service at my dinner after a long day of meetings, a well done dinner of a traditional hotel room service dinner with a twist of panache.
I will always stay here when returning to Hamburg.
