The George To Open In Hamburg

Filed under: Journeys

The newest member of Design Hotels is known as The George and will open in November in Hamburg, Germany. The 125-room hotel promises a "New British Style" offering a contemporary twist to English tradition and design. It was inspired by British social clubs and offers spaces in which to socialize and lounge including a library, a restaurant with attached English garden, a rooftop terrace and two clubrooms as well as a lounge and bar.

Hotelier Kai Hollmann used both the styles of British classics as well as exotic influences dating back to colonial times in his design. The primary design scheme in black and white is softened by rich accent colors and warm dark woods. Each of the public rooms are also available for private hire. Room rates start at 159 euros.

US World Cup Team to Stay in Hamburg

While the German team stays in Berlin, the US World Cup Team has made arrangements to stay at the Park Hyatt Hotel in Hamburg, Germany. The hotel is located in the center of the city and, while not having quite the same historical significance of the Schlosshotel Berlin, it is hardly lacking. The 282-room hotel occupies the top floors of the Levantehaus building, an old but historic warehouse that has been stripped and luxuriously finished. Ultramodern with a hint of old-fashioned charm in its decor, the rooms are largely minimalist. It offers all the usual amenities found in modern hotels, including high speed internet and satellite television, as well as an indoor pool and health club.

The largest room at the Hyatt is the Presidential Suite. At 1,500-square feet, the suite offers views of the city from the living room and, in addition to the highly detailed decor throughout the suite, a marble bath with a waterfall shower. Access to a private concierge is also provided.
