Lonely Planet review

The riverside Louis C. Jacob is a connoisseur's hotel. The oldest wing dates back to the 18th century and features richly traditional public rooms and bedrooms. Newer wings embrace a more modern tone, while remaining equally luxurious.

The historic core of the hotel not only features quaint bedrooms - some with old-fashioned tiled ovens - but several sumptuous dining rooms and a leafy outdoor terrace overlooking the Elbe River. There's a gourmet French restaurant, a bar renowned for its rare whiskies and cigars, and even a recently discovered and now heritage-listed cellar. The hotel, which features 66 rooms, 19 suites and superlative service, extends via an underground shopping arcade across the road, where the garden rooms are deliberately furnished to feel more like holiday apartments. Original art - no copies allowed! - is a big theme throughout. One bedroom is dedicated to German artist Max Liebermann, who painted a famous Elbe River scene while a guest here. In the newer wings, the paintings are determinedly contemporary.
