• Hotel Am Josephsplatz, Nürnberg: Germany has no shortage of cozy little guesthouses, but it’s especially refreshing to find one in the midst of a busy city. These wood-floored, nicely furnished accommodations are a great base from which to explore the surrounding streets and squares.
  • Hotel Chelsea, Cologne: It’s not grand, it’s not luxurious, and it’s not quite in the center of Cologne, but the rooms have been smartly designed in a modern, minimalist style, staff members are friendly and helpful, and there’s a cozy cafe attached to the hotel.
  • Louis Hotel, Munich: This chic urban inn with rooms overlooking Munich’s Viktualienmarkt features a wonderful Japanese restaurant and a summertime roof terrace.
  • Wedina, Hamburg: A good hotel makes its guests feel at home, and these moderately priced accommodations do so in four townhouses on a dignified St. Georg district street just off the Alster. You can choose the surroundings that suit you best, be it a comfy room facing an urban garden or a snazzy tri-level modernist suite. A library is one of many other homey touches.
