Picolo recommends · Hotel in Hamburg, Germany
Hotel Atlantic
A long white facade on the Aussenalster, with chandeliers and marble inside and the main railway station only a few minutes away.
Arrive by train, wheel your case a few minutes north and the noise of the station gives way to the open water of the Aussenalster. The hotel stretches along the shore like a white palace, hard to miss from across the lake.
The lobby and lounges are built for an entrance: marble floors, high ceilings and chandeliers. Many rooms look across the lake. Behind the hotel lies St. Georg, where Lange Reihe is lined with cafés, bars and places to eat.
Picolo’s verdict
Why we chose Hotel Atlantic
It is the easiest grand hotel in Hamburg to reach from the trains, and it still feels like an occasion. St. Georg on the doorstep gives you good food and evening life without needing a taxi.
Not every room has had the same attention. Some feel dated compared with the public spaces, so pay for a lake-view category if you care about the view and a fresher room.
