Das James

Flensburg sits at the end of a protected fjord, which is how Germany ends up with a genuinely good marina hotel. Das James holds a Michelin Key and pitches itself somewhere between English country house and urban loft, the mix working better than it sounds. Better rooms face the water; the others look onto a courtyard. Breakfast runs in the farmhouse restaurant downstairs, cocktails in a cozy bar up top, and a fine-dining room crowns the whole thing.
