The Fontenay: Curved Architecture on the Alster in Hamburg

The Fontenay brought a bold new architectural statement to Hamburg, a striking contemporary hotel of interlocking curved white forms on the shore of the Outer Alster lake, in one of the city's most elegant districts. A Leading Hotels of the World Sustainability Leader, its rooftop spa and restaurants make the most of panoramic views over the water and the city.

The dining is a highlight. Lakeside is an acclaimed restaurant high above the Alster with spectacular panoramic views under executive chef Julian Stowasser; Parkview pairs captivating architecture with lake and parkland views under chef Stefan Wilke; and the Fontenay Bar offers a 320-degree panorama with innovative bar culture.

For a design-led, lakeside Hamburg stay, The Fontenay is a standout.
