This modern, five story hotel lies in the heart of Hamburg's centre, 500 meters from the waterfront city's prestigious shopping roads. Light oak furnishings complement the beige and white color schemes common to each of the 124 guestrooms, all of which feature a range of amenities including minibars, cable television, pay movies, complimentary Internet access and hypo allergenic linens. Local beers compete with signature cocktails on the drinks list of the hotel's Captain's Corner, a maritime themed bar open daily from noon until late. Further refreshments are available from the fifth floor's spa zone, featuring sauna, solarium, jetted tub and a panoramic rooftop view of the city's skyline. Meals may be taken in Le Jardin, where buffet style regional and international specialities feature along with Sunday champagne brunches in a contemporary setting. Activities ranging from opera, boat rides and galleries are all available within three kilometres of the hotel. Hamburg International Airport can be reached by car in under 30 minutes
