"In Hamburg, you can't find many places to crash that are within walking distance of both the UNESCO-protected warehouse district of Speicherstadt and the Elbphilharmonie—so Sir Nikolai, a charming boutique hotel that opened in 2017, wins points for location alone. It’s on a quiet side street just minutes from the action, with a cozy lobby, and a young, hip crowd. Rooms are warm and masculine, with dark wood floors, neutral decor, and pops of color in the form of a bedspread and vintage rug." - Liz Humphreys
