Where We Stayed/Dined

We stayed at the Kempinski Atlantic Hotel in Hamburg (http://www.kempinski.com/en/hamburg/hotel-atlantic/overview/).  This grand hotel is step back in time for refined elegance and the modern rooms and suites boast elegant finishes.
Convenient to the main rail station, easy walk to both the old and new towns and the walking path along the river make this an excellent choice for a stay in Hamburg.

We ate at the following restaurants and enjoyed every one of them!

Cafe Paris  http://www.cafeparis.net/en/home.html
We had a delightful Sunday brunch - full of locals, friendly staff and really good food!
Very cool interior including the ceiling!

Die Bank  http://www.diebank-brasserie.de/ (the website has a link to translate into English)
A former bank turned brasserie - the simple menu means an excellent meal is coming your way!
The restaurant features photos and quips from famous bank robbers!

Cox Restaurant http://www.restaurant-cox.de/  (google will translate into English!)
We enjoyed a wonderful dinner in this local restaurant not too far from the hotel.  The place was lively and the food delicious. The short walk back to the hotel was delightful.

Should you find your way to Hamburg, and want to do some shopping, there is a great mall, Hanse Viertel (http://www.hanseviertel.de/).  We discovered it as we were walking to lunch at Die Bank.

There is much more to see in Hamburg - it merits another visit!
