The George - a piece of England in Hamburg

The George Hamburg

The George Hotel Hamburg

There’s a new member of Design Hotels™ in town, but it’s not German - at least not in style anyway.  Interior designer Sibylle von Heyden of SynergyHamburg chose old, English-style social clubs as her inspiration for The George Hotel, combining classic sensibilities with modern design motifs.

Befitting of an English social club style, the hotel features a library, a smoker’s lounge complete with leather furniture, a sophisticated bar and an impressive restaurant serving Mediterranean fare.

Sleep? How can I with all that glowing?

This has to be the worst promo for a design hotel ever.  The SIDE Hotel in Hamburg commissioned an agency to come up with this idea.  Check out the movie then read on.

Ok, so I am having trouble sleeping.  The hotels solution is to paint a phosphorus message on the wall.  Genius…so now I can’t sleep because of a bright, glowing message on my wall!
