Vier Jahreszeiten Hotel Sylt - Reviews - Sylt

Sylt, a tiny island in the north of germany, is connected to the mainland by a narrow thread of land negotiable only by train. Although most of the island embraces a tranquil scene of windswept sand dunes, long stretches of beach, and picture-perfect thateched cottages. The principal town of westerland,with its large hotels, designer boutiques, souvenir shops, ice cream parlors, and pizzerias, bustles with activity. In the midst of this touristy town, the hotel stadt hamburg is an absolute oasis of charm an...(see more)d tranquility. The hotel, in the hentzschel family for three generations, dates back to 1869. You will be enchanted from the moment you walk into the exquisite lounge where rich-red walls created the prefect background for comfortable sofas and chairs grouped in intimate settings. Fine english antiques abound, including many grandfather clocks, gorgeous tables, and chests whose woods gleam with the patina of age. The lounge is som home-like, so inviting, that guests must almost welcome dreary weather for an excuse to settle into a cozy corner with a good book. The guestrooms, soom located in the original hotel and others in a new wing, are exquisitely furnished and resemble rooms in an english country estate. Although the stadt hamburg is an elegant relais & chateaux hotel it happily maintains the exceptional warmth and sincere hospitality of a small inn.
