Hotel Wedina

Top choice in Hamburg


Margaret Atwood, Jonathan Franzen and Martin Walser are among the literary greats who’ve stayed at this loveable lair. Rooms are spread over five brightly pigmented buildings that in different ways express the owners' love for literature, architecture and art. It's close to the train station and the Alster lakes. The breakfasts are especially good.
