In the green east of Hamburg, the Best Western Plus Hotel Boettcherhof, Hamburg, Germany, is a four-star hotel with comfortable rooms, air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, free Wi-Fi, a laptop safe and a tea-and-coffee station, plus a restaurant with a breakfast buffet and à la carte dining and a relaxed bar.
A spacious wellness and fitness area adds a bio sauna and Finnish sauna, a steam bath, a Kneipp pool, relaxation rooms and a gym, with massages and treatments on request. Around twenty event rooms handle conferences and presentations, and a bus stops at the door with the underground close by.
Hamburg is Germany's great harbour city, woven through with water, canals and more bridges than Venice. Down by the river the red-brick warehouses of the historic Speicherstadt rise from the canals, the wave-roofed Elbphilharmonie concert hall soars above the water, and the Alster lakes shimmer at the heart of the city. Public transport runs from nearby straight into the centre and the buzzing harbour.
