Hotel Tortue in Former Government Building in Hamburg23 photos

It turns out that the former ministry building can make a perfect hotel, as the Hotel Tortue in Hamburg, Germany, proves. The government past here is only reminded by the strict facade and wide corridors with offices. Otherwise, it's a modern space designed for guests and living in rhythm with the big city. The hotel interior is an elegant mix of wallpapers with prints, bright velvet furniture, modern art, and historical heritage. Tortue is a city within a city; it features 126 rooms, two restaurants, a bar, several conference halls, a shop, and a cozy backyard. A century ago, this building was bustling with business life; now it serves as a place for city guests to stay and for locals to spend their time. It's interesting what will happen in another hundred years!
