Fodor's Expert Review SIDE Design Hotel Hamburg

Futuristic, minimalistic—call it what you like—hip five-star hotel SIDE stands out from the rest of the crowd because of what's on the inside, including a soaring, glass-paneled atrium and sleek, space-age interiors decorated with brightly colored cubes and pebble-shape furniture. The hotel's popularity with its business clientele and local fashionistas is enhanced by its excellent cocktail bar and Meatery restaurant, which many claim does the best dry-aged beef in town.
