Ships ahoy at the 25 Hours Hotel in Hafencity (Europe’s largest 21st century regeneration – transforming Hamburg’s old harbour quarter into a hub of urban life) as it takes the area’s rich maritime history to heart in a somewhat radical way – with ship-cabin style suites and communal areas dressed like a dockyard warehouse – think oriental carpets, shipping crates, bunkbeds and steamer trunks. It’s a quirky and distinctive hotel and a lot of fun.
