Frommer's Review
In one of the most stunning rescues of a decaying industrial building in Hamburg, an old public gasworks has been recycled and given new life as a modern boutique hotel. Developers preserved as much of the industrial structure -- they call it "culture" -- as was possible when they converted it into a comfortable hotel with a mixture of contemporary and traditional design. Bedrooms range from luxurious suites -- one designed by Sir Terence Conran -- to classic loft spaces with exposed brick walls and mahogany furnishings. All the rooms, both public and private, are imbued with a light, intimate feeling. Bedrooms are midsize to spacious, and are inviting and beautifully maintained, each with a balcony and an immaculate tiled bathroom with tub and shower. The former gasworks were redesigned with all the amenities you'd expect from a high-end hotel, everything from an on-site health club to bedrooms designed for those with disabilities. The Italian food is excellent at the on-site Da Caio Restaurant.
