在Fairmont Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten的传统欧洲宏伟内部
by玛丽·高斯特洛(Mary Gostelow)/
汉堡是德国音乐宇宙中心,这要归功于其独特的Elbphilharmonie和Laeiszhalle音乐厅。我正前往那里,也去了这座城市的标志性历史酒店。
Arrive at the Neuer Jungfernstieg entrance of the 1897-vintage Fairmont Vier Jahreszeiten and two giant proscenium curtains, red and black, guard the entrance. Then, past a wood cabinet with the hotel's crest in gold, holding bottles of Vittel for runners, are seven stone steps, with black-edged red-carpeting and flanked by bronze-railed wrought iron banisters, that lead to the main, revolving, door. Ahead is a 50-foot walkway to a wall-hung tapestry that must surely be Flemish, and old.
To my left, the lobby lounge is a composite of various reds with a black grand piano and an enormous fireplace, working in winter. To my right stretches the lobby seating area, again mostly ruby reds, with original panelling, masses of flowers, books and red apples, and two baby buggies, one black and one cream, loaned free to guests. The near wall, here, is entirely key cubby-holes, as used in the movieGrand Hotel Budapest. The concierge is partly hidden behind a gigantic 2017 coffee table book, Jens Meyer-Odewald's达斯酒店,在音乐摊上。
Balcony view
我的房间钥匙是一个沉重的复古雕塑,对于女士们的当今离合器来说太大了。我在两座电梯之一中上升:镶木地板,优雅的金腿椅子和镜子上方的波峰。二楼的走廊就像上层走廊一样,优雅的灰褐色,白色,包括花盆中的兰花。
The River Suite is at the far end of the corridor. I go in, past a holding area with two umbrellas and two winter-coat hooks, is a second, inner, door. Inside this, I look along my salon to a curved French window, which opens, to Binnenalster, Inner Alster, with its 180-ft-highjet d'eauin full flow – in early mornings, and pre-sunset, eight-person boats row past. Turning 180°, to face my front door, to its right I look through glass-and white-wood treble doors, with curved top, to the bedroom, and on to an open closet, beyond to the left, and the bathroom, beyond to the right. The salon has bleached oak floor with a soft grey-blue central carpet, the bedroom's carpet is soft beige: walls in both rooms are soft mushroom panels with white border highlights. Drapes, bordered in sea blue, are a mushroom-grey ogee pattern, and I particularly like the multi-knot cord retainers, a reminder that Hamburg is home of shipping.
Park Suite
还有其他海事协会。桌子上有一个六分的地球仪,巧妙地散布在沙龙周围的书籍,包括一本关于游艇的立方体书籍:我有微型皮革和铜望远镜,包括古董,以及许多德语的皮革限制书籍。有一个iPad。三星屏幕下面的装饰性壁炉有一套站立的火家具。水果,只是在玻璃板上,搭配酒店克雷斯特中国。
卧室由加利福尼亚国王床和粉红色的天鹅绒床头板主导,其弯曲的侧面齐着容易工作的光纤灯。我喜欢柔和的,可爱的投掷,确实是“扔在床上”的。我有一个皮革闹钟。浴室有黑色的瓷砖地板,墙壁是白色瓷砖,直至9英尺高,其余的是黑白墙纸。浴室的天花板照明是斑点,卧室有八臂手动的穆拉诺枝形吊灯,沙龙装有光荣的10灯吊灯,悬挂着闪闪发光的施华洛世奇晶体的万花筒。沙龙中的一个谨慎局,顶部是轻松工作的奈斯佩罗(Nespresso),拥有一个污染冰箱,其中包括摩特(Moët),Veuve Clicquot,RuinartRosé和Red Bull。
Many choose to run, walk or bike around the lake, but I decide to use the gym. This is surely unique. Hotel GM Ingo Peters is a runner, which helps, as does the fact that when Dohle Handelsgruppe, best known for HIT supermarkets, bought this, their only hotel, in 2013 they wanted the entire thing taken up at least one luxury notch.
因此,这个五楼的设施(包括水疗中心)更像是一个soho阁楼,最新的Technogym钻头与白色兰花植物共享空间,模拟海上旅行树干和墙壁吊船图片 - 以及一个砖砌的放松区,带有真正舒适的晒黑皮革沙发,书籍,苹果和一个轻便的手枪,充满了免费的冰水。彼得斯说,没有外部成员的体育馆绝对有助于填补卧室,吸引年轻,生活方式拟合的顾问,金融家和技术人员远离比赛。
Relaxation area in the gym
日本人或确切的秘鲁 - 日本尼克基(Nikkei 9)是我们的晚餐选择 - 替代品包括两星级的米其林·海林(Michelin Haerlin),或者在夏季,屋顶和人行道露台用餐。我们从巴黎跳蚤市场上过了两个生命的黑色水晶豹。这家80个座位的餐厅还活着,镜子和闪亮的面板从其低天花板上悬挂起来(没有人意识到这是无窗的)。纯净的深色木桌设置有筷子和方形折叠的棕色亚麻餐巾纸。我看着远端的开放式厨房的明亮剧院:我转向整体酒吧,该酒吧变身为周末夜总会。
一位经理带有八个金色室内部分的重金卡菜单:介绍,开胃菜,开胃菜,面条/kushi yaki,robata,sushi/sashimi,组合。每个部分都有列出的菜肴以及英语和德语的解释。食物是在各种兰伯特陶瓷菜肴上带来的:我有一个Nikkei酸橘汁腌鱼,辣椒香料Aji Amarillo,Cilantro和Tobiko(Flying Fish Fish Roe),我继续与巧克力摩尔酱,玉米和红薯一起炖过Miso短肋骨。我喜欢来自Rheinau August Kesseler的一杯黑比诺Vier JahreszeitenCuvée。
经过一个美好的夜晚睡眠,我发现纽约时报, in a black linen bag, hanging on the outer door. Then it is breakfast, in Café Condi (oh the luxury of a dedicated breakfast room). Café Condi has a main floor, with servery, but you can also go up nine stairs, curved, to the upper level, overlooking Inner Alster. Alternatively, from the main floor take 11 straight steps down to the all-day casual café, opening on to Jungfernstieg.
Café Condi
我坐在主楼上,坐在一张桌子旁,白色亚麻布就像洗衣服的白色和淀粉能力的广告。天花板高的白色涂漆威尔士梳妆台可容纳水果和冷蛋白,其中包括九种不同的冷肉。打开玻璃悬挂的冰冷的上橱柜,以找到不同的酸奶,鳄梨奶油等。在其他地方,有有机物,真正的面包展示,有未来派的烤面包机,我需要帮助。
这是一个有利的场合,最好专心于我的真正好煎蛋和那些面包 - Ingo Peters试用了早餐音乐,但这个汉萨特式城市的良好之旅被拒绝了。一如既往,我的任何方式都紧迫。
