I arrived at 4 PM and was told my room wouldn’t be ready for another 45 minutes. I came to Hamburg to visit my grandma in the hospital and would only be here for one night so this was incredibly frustrating. I had to unpack a change of clothes from my luggage in the lobby and then go to the spa to change. Once I returned they offered me a room on the 1st floor which was designed for someone in a wheel chair, so all the countertops were uncomfortably low. At this point I was so late to get to the hospital I felt forced to take it. Very bad experience and I will not be back again because of it.

Our family had an absolutely perfect experience at The Fontenay. What set this experience and hotel apart from the rest, is the attention to detail in each step of our stay, from the hospitality of the team to the polished atmosphere and delicious bites. Everyone has been so welcoming however a special highlight to Lukas Sarnow. He has been so above and beyond and every second of our stay. He is the embodiment of GREAT HOSPITALITY. His patience, his attitude, his knowledge, his gentle manner have been a delight. If you are planning a trip to Hamburg you should definitely consider The Fontenay.

Outstanding property overall and this was our third stay in a year! The one issue that we found relates to the “family policy” of allowing screaming kids, even under 10 years old, in the spa area including the sauna and steam room, until closing at 10PM !! This policy definitely needs to change with a time limit for kids accessing the spa / pool area to maximum 20h in order to allow adults relaxing quiet time to enjoy!

It was uniquely placed right by a very easy jogging, walking , and cycling route and near the water. The building itself is the most aesthetically pleasing design with beautiful windows everywhere. I really don’t know how to put it in words but it was the best hotel so far of the many 5 star hotels I have stayed at.

Beautiful modern hotel in arguably the best residential area in Hamburg , right on the Alster lake. Fantastic choice at breakfast , hot dishes are prepared in the kitchen and delivered to your table piping hot which is not always the case with a buffet. Freshly made carrot and apple juice. Light switches in the room are very modern and not easy to operate Very expensive dining but fresh ingredients and value for money if you can afford it
