Hamburg
BACKGROUND: As one of the first hotels in the Curio collection, the Reichshof shows off its rich architectural heritage and its modern amenities for today’s traveler. The design elements and photographs throughout the lobby show off Hamburg as an important Hanseatic city, part of the attraction for business travelers, tourists, and conference groups today.
WHAT’S IT LIKE? True to its tradition, the hotel respectfully maintains its art deco style throughout, and the historic façade and protected interiors are impressively grandiose, but the vibrant bar with flickering TV screens and mood lighting create a surprising first impression for the present.
WHERE IS IT? While many of the city’s prime addresses are found around the lake, this enviable location steps from the main train station is primed more for convenience than views.
