Pros

Cons

“This property strikes me as a place where North German design meets a certain French elegance, placing you within steps of Hamburg's best retail. I particularly like the sound of the Ristorante Ticino, with its Mediterranean-inspired cuisine, and the promise of the Seagull Spa's extensive wellness treatments. It's the sort of hotel that seems ideal for those seeking both cultural immersion and a bit of pampering.”
