Nestled on the banks of the Inner Alster Lake, Fairmont Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten is Hamburg’s “Grand Hotel,” a spectacular century-old landmark whose hallmark has been an unerring adherence to the philosophy, “Service, service, service.”
Hotelier Friedrich Haerlin purchased Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten in 1897 for his 40th birthday and the hotel’s two-Michelin-starred restaurant, Haerlin Restaurant, is a testament to exemplary hospitality.

A sense of elegant “gemütlichkeit” is pervasive throughout Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten, as if you might have wandered into the German equivalent of “Downton Abbey.” The commodious public spaces are furnished in grand European style (in keeping with the Fairmont tradition of historic luxury), while the 156 guest rooms and suites, carefully curated with period antiques, recall a wealthy godmother’s European pied à terre equipped with 21st-century technology.
For dining, Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten offers no less than nine venues, including Cafe Condi, a charming Biedermeier café that was once the hay mow above the stables. An early breakfast offers lakeside views of intrepid oarsmen and joggers – but relax, you’re on vacation.
A respite at Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten offers guests a firsthand experience with Hamburg’s fabled Hanseatic hospitality – and an insider’s perspective on the romance of Hamburg.
