Best Luxury Hotels in Germany
It boasts some of the coolest cities around, with creative street art, quirky flotation spas, unique brutalist architecture and risque nightlife. But it’s also home to chocolate-box villages, fairytale castles, Hansel and Gretel forests, classy seaside resorts and majestic mountain ranges. Germany’s Christmas markets and Alpine snowscapes make it a go-to winter break. Yet with warm (but not uncomfortably hot) temperatures, abundant alfresco culinary culture, sandy beaches and lake-swimming opportunities, it’s also a superb alternative summer holiday destination for travellers. And with convenient air and rail transport links, making a trip here is stress-free.

In addition to just under two hundred spacious and very comfortable guest-rooms, there are six function rooms to make use of, each of which features a wide range of modern communications equipment. The picturesque Binnenalster Lake can be found just a hundred metres from Barceló Hamburg and guests who secure one of the lake facing rooms on the upper floors will be treated to stunning views of the city.
