"Mannheim embodies many of Germany’s virtues in one contemporary, thoughtful package. Weird as it sounds, they take pride in squareness here — mostly in reference to an unusually orderly city grid, but also on a more abstract level: think smart, stylish urban planning, a design-conscious city that didn’t leave its own layout to happenstance. SYTE Mannheim fits this context well, an upscale take on a historical building within easy walking distance of the central train station and the city’s highlights. Not particularly revolutionary, and all the better for it." - Tablet Hotels
