Definitively Instagrammable – Hamburg
Fancy a short journey back in time? The Nikolai Hotel Hamburg – Leonardo Limited Edition will be just what you are looking for. The first hotel in Germany to operate under the Limited Edition brand is housed in a listed former “Kontorhaus” on the romantic Nikolaifleet, one of Hamburg’s oldest Elbe canals from which it also takes its name. Everything here breathes the history of Hamburg. And there is much to discover. 94 rooms and suites show captivating attention to detail.
The NYX Hotel Hamburg by Leonardo Hotels is a further source of inspiration which is definitely Instagrammable. Art lovers and night owls are equally at home. A golden cage in the lobby provides a great photo opportunity, and the hotel is also decorated with works by local artists and with street art. A further eye catcher comes in the form of the stylised Hanseatic motifs in the rooms themselves. One particular feature of the hotel is its “City Lovers”. These are members of staff who know Hamburg like the back of their hands and are always ready to use their insider knowledge to point guests in the direction of the art scene, the local night life or a Reeperbahn adventure.
La dolce vita – Lake Garda
An out-of-season weekend trip to Lake Garda is a particular chance to discover the narrow alleyways, small shops and scenic lake promenade of the medieval town of Lazise in peace and quiet. The region around Lake Garda is a treat for all the senses. A wine tasting session, a boat trip past the castles lining the lake and a guided tour for foodies are just some of the options available. Afterwards, the focus at the Leonardo Lago di Garda – Wellness and Spa, is entirely on relaxation. Following a sauna visit and a joint massage, there is no better way to end the day than by jumping into one of the three pools. The hotel’s own restaurant delights its guests with home made delicacies and is the ideal venue to unwind as a couple in the evening.
Golden Prague
Prague is the Golden City! Virtually no other European capital offers so many historical sights in such a small area. And the NYX Hotel Prague by Leonardo Hotels is right in the middle of it all. This is a base from which the highlights can be quickly explored. Take a brief detour to Kafka’s birth house or stroll hand in hand along the banks of the Vltava. Take a walk over the Charles Bridge up to Prague Castle. But the NYX Hotel also has plenty to offer. Guests are immediately won over by its street art installations and by a large glass dome in the Lounge Area. Those seeking an especially romantic experience will wish to book the Heaven Suite, which boasts its own roof terrace with views out over a fabulous city.
A half-timbered idyll with vineyards – Esslingen
