I have stayed in some of the very best hotels in the Americas, Europe and Asia traveling for over 27 years. I would love to know what Christian Moss (previous review) thinks is a great hotel. The Vier Jahreszeiten is undoubtedly the best. No, it's not perfect but, the "decor" is part of the charm. It's like going back to... more

My six year old daughter and I stayed in the Vier Jahreszeiten for a weekend in October - and we loved it! It is a classical Grand Hotel in the European tradition. It manages to combine the best of both worlds: history with its 19th century architecture, traditional furniture, old paintings and modernity with its up-to-date equipment (flat screen TV,... more

This is my first review for TripAdvisor (despite being a huge fan of the website) and the single one most compelling reasons for writing this now is to share with other readers what a perfect, luxury hotel the VF is in Hamburg. We stayed for three nights at the end of August in a junior suite on the fourth floor.... more

This is a great hotel in every detail. Yes it is expensive, but it is worth it. We stayed for one night in a luxury room with lake view (211)for 360 Euro including breakfast for 2. See the uploaded pictures and video which explains better than words, what I mean. Very big room, walk-in closet, 2 (!) safes and all... more

Fairmont (when I stayed in belonged to Raffles group) Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten is probably the best hotel that I've ever stayed - at least in terms of service and value for money. Few examples: (1) it has a really lovely old elevator which did not have an automatic door. It did not need to because every time you entered/exit the... more

Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten in Hamburg has gone from being a Raffles to a Fairmont. Not that it matters much, I guess, as the property is in desperate need for refurbishment. > Check-in Check-in was smooth and efficient - like you would expect from Germans. The lobby itself is dark and feels a bit unloved. Big plus for the two lifts... more

I just completed a six night stay at the Fairmont Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten (Four Seasons) in Hamburg (Room 229). This property is certainly the best I've seen in Germany and possibly the best in Europe. However, I must agree with the review written by "Olenast from Kiev" in that each of the rooms is quite different although may be the... more

At this hotel you could get 2 completely different rooms for the same price. Within one week I had to check out and check in again. And the second time for the same price I was given the room only half the size of the first one! The first room was what you coud expect from a 5-star hotel, when... more

Booked through Amex, this was a lovely two night stay, celebrating our anniversary. The room we had was lovely, overlooking the lake with a nice balcony--and it was a nice gesture to find a complimentary half bottle of champagne in our room. The staff were universally excellent--incredibly professional and welcoming. And the food absolutely delicious whether a sandwich or a... more
