Fairmont Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten: Reviews

Overall

The Vier Jahreszeiten is truly a "best in the world" class hotel. It is listed in the book "1,000 things to do (in the world) before you die" and that is exactly right. This is one of the very few remaining "pre-war jewels of Europe". Its owners have restored every single floor and room (bedroom, restaurant room, etc.) physically to perfection, while, simultaneously, inserting every needed modern convenience (modern bathrooms, internet access, a world class spa, etc.). The staff is also fantastic. Not to be missed: (a) pay the extra for a room w/ the spectacular view over Lake Alster - and if you can pay the slight extra beyond that, the rooms with terraces make that view magical, (b) have lunch, or dinner, in the "Grill", which, again, is a perfect throwback to the quality of food and as importantly service offered pre-war and (c) have a drink in the tiny bar off the lobby, which makes you feel like you are in a 1930s/40s movie. I visit this hotel on business travel, but I would also highly recommend it for Leisure/Romantic getaway. Spectacular.
