"Hamburg’s Hotel Louis C. Jacob is the best of two worlds: an immaculately well-preserved historical hotel that’s also assimilated the lessons of today’s boutique-influenced luxury hospitality, and subtly modernized along the way. It starts with a lovely pair of buildings, one on each side of the Elbchaussee, the picturesque riverside drive to the west of the city proper. And it continues inside, where the hotel’s 19th-century Hanseatic elegance remains in full flower; its collection of artworks alone would be enough for a small museum." - Tablet Hotels
