The Intercity Hotel is housed in a traditional, very functionally designed brick building, typical of Northern Germany. The medium sized lobby boasts several small seating areas and a Bar to the rear. In terms of décor, it displays a touch of the "Hanseatic understatement," often seen in Hamburg. The medium sized guestrooms are bright, warm and comfortably furnished. Although the hotel is located at the train station and close to the amusement district, the rooms are fairly quiet. The "Wintergarten" restaurant offers a warm/cold breakfast buffet. It also serves international and regional cuisine at lunch and dinner. The fish dishes, in particular, are excellent, since the harbour and the famous Fishmarket is just a short walk away.
