Hotels

Many of the best urban hotels have one thing in common: efficiency. Barcelo Hamburg offers it in spades. Guests are greeted by a spacious lobby with ample, comfortable seating, soaring ceiling, and bar perfect for relaxing after a flight or long day of sightseeing. Should you need some fresh air, take your glass of wine and sit on the patio. There’s also a gym, sauna, restaurant, and six meeting rooms equipped with the latest technology. The sleek rooms, clearly designed with convenience in mind, feel luxurious nevertheless, equipped with an underfloor heating system, rainfall showers, USB and Bluetooth sound systems, and flat screen TVs. But Barcelo Hamburg’s unbeatable location in central Hamburg is its greatest asset. Situated between the Alster lake and railway station, the shops and cafés of Mönckebergstrasse are a seven-minute walk away.
