Scandic Hamburg Emporio

Hamburg


Removed a little from the clamour of downtown Neustadt but within easy walking distance of same, this outpost of the Scandinavian Scandic chain gets consistently good reviews from travellers. Rooms are large and stylish and some have fab views; the 'art rooms' cost a little more but are zany and filled with contemporary art.
