3 Best Day Trips from Berlin to Hamburg, Leipzig, and Potsdam | Condé Nast Traveler

"Opened in March 2018, this Leading Hotel of the World, set alongside ritzy Aussenalster lake, is not only Hamburg’s newest place to stay—it's also the first five-star property to debut in the city in 18 years. So, expectations run high. You might be forgiven for thinking the place looks like a ‘70s Miami condo from the outside. But inside, the chic, modular design—meant to look like three intertwining circles—immediately impresses. Rooms, which are decked out in woods, tans, and muted grays, feature floor-to-ceiling views of the lake and surrounding greenery, plus balconies and sleek furniture from Danish designer Georg Jensen." - Liz Humphreys
