Frommer's Very Highly Recommended

This discovery is 2km (1 1/4 mile) north of the center of Harvestehude, a highly desirable if somewhat out-of-the-way address for a little hotel. Small scale and charming, this bijou-style hotel was a posh private home in the 1890s and then fell into disrepair in the early 1970s, when it became a shelter for the indigent. Today, it's a plush, smart hotel with decor and ambience that recall an English country house. Rooms are cushy, conservative, and rich looking, in tones of green, red, and yellow. Antiques, including pieces of mahogany and cherrywood, are scattered about, and a trio of suites have their own private conservatories.
