Doc Cheng's, the hotel's Asian restaurant (based on the Singapore original) is a-buzz with regular local diners.
With 156 rooms overlooking Inner Alster Lake and the Altstadt, the Fairmont Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten Hamburg is itself a landmark in the heart of this bustling German city-state.
Located just steps away from the many eateries and shopping arcades of the city center, this award-winning hotel boasts four world-class restaurants of its own - including the Michelin-starred Restaurant Haerlin - as well as numerous other cafés, lounges, and delis.
First constructed in 1897, the hotel has been recently renovated and updated throughout with modern amenities such as espresso machines and iPod docks. This palace-like structure also features five ballrooms and a spa, and offers such thoughtful services as torchlight evening tours through the city streets and introductory etiquette courses for aspiring young gourmands.
With its intimate, luxurious rooms - including the stunning fifth-floor Bel Étage - the Fairmont Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten is the quintessential European grand hotel.
