    You have been so lucky to have found such an amazing weather in Hamburg! Generally it is always grey and cloudy. And very nice report, the hotel does indeed look stunning!

    Such a gorgeous hotel! I took a peek, and it’s not prohibitively expensive. Hamburg is the 1st foreign city that I spent a substantial amount of time in-3 weeks, 25 years ago. I haven’t been back, but I was surprised by how warm and friendly the people were! I guess I need to go back. 😊
    Yay, a pool shot! 👍🏾

    That is one sexy curvy hotel, Dr. LTE! Very impressive. Parts of it reminded me of the also curvy Guggenheim Museum in NYC. Apple crisp welcome amenity--A+. I liked your cozy room.

    Thank you so, so much for making this Video. Dedicated to my Hometown. I was born and raised in Hamburg. My Parents live right accrosse the Street from the Fontenay Hotel. They visited the Parkview Restaurant and they really liked it. I‘ve been at the Rooftop Bar with my Parents and I must say, we were quite dissapointed because the ambience inside is a downer in comparisson to the rest of the Hotel and it lacked of good service. Sitting outside at the Terrace though is very nice and you have stunning view over Hamburg. I‘m looking forward to the next Video about Hamburg.

    Stunning, stunning that's how I can describe this hotel. By the way, could the Luxury Travel Expert try to include some of the most expensive room categories for viewers sake. I know you can be in a position to convince the management just to feature some of their most exclusive or higher room category during your stay. I thought it would be nice to widen the excitement and attractions to some viewers. Please note that this is my opinion not to compromise the well established version of this Luxury Travel Expert.

    Das Hotel ist wunderschön. Womöglich würde ich 10 solcher Hotels bauen und kläglich daran scheitern und pleite gehen. Allerdings sind diese Hotels so faszinierend, dass ich es nicht bereuen würde. Wer es schafft, diese Luxus-Atmosphäre in die 3- bis 4-Sterne-Hotels zu implementieren, gewinnt die nächsten 50 Jahre. Jeder Mensch hat eine Schwäche für räumliche Schönheit.

The menu in English was nice of them. I doubt you would get that in France. Can you tell us the room rates and don't say if you have to ask the price you can't afford it. Getting there would be more of a problem. Lol
