If you’ll only be in Hamburg for a night or two — between jaunts, say, in Copenhagen and Vienna — it makes perfect sense to stay near the city’s central station. And while the neighborhood surrounding the Hauptbahnhof has the requisite hostel and small two- to three-star hotels, there are also properties within walking distance that feel more like destinations in themselves rather than just an afterthought. Case in point: the Henri Hotel Hamburg Downtown. Everything from the hand-crafted furniture and solid wooden flooring to the breakfast buffet and on-site sauna will ground your Hamburg adventure in a base that feels like home, whether it’s only for a few days or a week or two or more.
