Service is excellent at Le Lion. It's a speakeasy so you do need to ring and be let in. I went…read moreearlier on a Saturday evening so it wasn't packed yet. I have also been very late (post-theater) on a Saturday evening and we never made it inside; we had to sit outside. The decor is subtle and classy. Le Lion is the cradle of the gin basil smash (I had never heard of it until I came here but it seems to be a Hamburg thing).

I also had the chicken Cesar salad which was just ok. Nothing special. I would definitely visit again. The renaissance hotel was a great place to stay and made me feel very welcome and like a VIP. I was offered a free drink at the Bricks Bar as a reward for my loyalty to Marriott Bonvoy program (titanium elite).

In the bar there are not many positions - around 10 meals/snacks and 10 cocktails. Good for hotel guests. I like interior moder design.
