Sublime!

Four days of pure luxury. We upgraded to the Europa suite and it was the most magical venue for Christmas. We enjoyed a magnificent Christmas lunch, delicious breakfasts and wonderful room service meals. The staff were absolutely phenomenal. We really don’t have enough superlatives for our stay at the Fontenay. Worth every penny!

Amazing high tech hotel!

Overall the hotel property was excellent! The rooms were spacious and very modern -incorporating best of class technology for room controls. The service for the restaurant could be improved - as we felt the waiters were not well versed with the menu and might not be as trained. We didn’t understand what the purpose of the bar at the atrium when the waiters still had to go to the rooftop bar to get drinks. Our toilet rolls were replaced when the rooms are serviced which felt unnecessary. Loved the spa which was great for rewinding after the 2 weeks road trip we just did.

Our family had an absolutely perfect experience at The Fontenay. What set this experience and hotel apart from the rest, is the attention to detail in each step of our stay, from the hospitality of the team to the polished atmosphere and delicious bites. Everyone has been so welcoming however a special highlight to Lukas Sarnow. He has been so above and beyond and every second of our stay. He is the embodiment of GREAT HOSPITALITY. His patience, his attitude, his knowledge, his gentle manner have been a delight. If you are planning a trip to Hamburg you should definitely consider The Fontenay.

I arrived at 4 PM and was told my room wouldn’t be ready for another 45 minutes. I came to Hamburg to visit my grandma in the hospital and would only be here for one night so this was incredibly frustrating. I had to unpack a change of clothes from my luggage in the lobby and then go to the spa to change. Once I returned they offered me a room on the 1st floor which was designed for someone in a wheel chair, so all the countertops were uncomfortably low. At this point I was so late to get to the hospital I felt forced to take it. Very bad experience and I will not be back again because of it.

Ein außergewöhnlicher Aufenthalt dank eines großartigen Teams Von der ersten Begrüßung bis zum Abschied war unser Aufenthalt geprägt von einem bemerkenswert empathischen und zugleich angenehm unaufdringlichen Service. Das gesamte Personal – vom Concierge über das Housekeeping bis hin zum Barchef – hat mit einer Professionalität überzeugt, die nicht distanziert wirkt, sondern durch Herzlichkeit und echte Aufmerksamkeit besticht. Man spürt sofort: Hier arbeiten Menschen mit Leidenschaft und einem feinen Gespür für die Bedürfnisse der Gäste. Jeder Kontakt war von einer natürlichen Freundlichkeit geprägt – nie aufgesetzt, immer echt und liebevoll in der Art. Besonders beeindruckend war, wie individuell auf uns eingegangen wurde, ohne je aufdringlich zu wirken. Diese Balance zwischen Diskretion und echter Fürsorge ist selten und macht den Aufenthalt besonders wertvoll. Ein großes Kompliment an das gesamte Team – Ihr macht diesen Ort zu einem echten Wohlfühlort. Wir kommen mit Freude wieder!
