Fodor's Expert Review 25Hours Hotel Hamburg HafenCity

This trendy HafenCity hotel is full of fun, from guest rooms that resemble designer ship cabins to a chill-out room with retro couches. In obvious nods to the area’s maritime and trade heritage, there are chests converted into writing desks in guest rooms and oriental carpets stacked to form couches in the restaurant. Throw in the groovy bar, excellent fish-and-chips served in its restaurant, and free test drive of a MINI car, and it's understandable why this welcoming hotel buzzes with city-trippers, businesspeople, and young families almost every night of the week.
