Where to actually take her in Germany

In this field Germany is not one country but a dozen very different cities, and the differences are larger than between some neighbouring states. What holds everywhere: upper-mid-range hotels in business cities are used to late arrivals and ask no questions, and the best bar for a first meeting is almost always a hotel bar.

Hotels that do not make it awkward

The single most common way an evening goes wrong in Germany is the front desk. Some houses charge a visitor fee, some ask for her passport, some simply do not allow a second person in the room after midnight. The houses below are the ones worth booking in this city - and because policies change with the season and the manager, the one question worth asking at reservation is whether a registered guest may come up to the room.

• Roomers Frankfurt Frankfurthotel bar - she can arrive without crossing a lobby · open late · proper suites, not a box with a bed
• 25hours Hotel Bikini Berlin Berlinwalkable to everything · a view worth the first ten minutes · no dress code drama
• The Fontenay Hamburgproper suites, not a box with a bed · quiet enough to talk · a view worth the first ten minutes
• Rocco Forte The Charles Hotel Münchenproper suites, not a box with a bed · quiet enough to talk · discreet entrance, front desk asks nothing

Bars for the first drink

Forty minutes in a bar before anything else is not a formality - it is how two adults find out whether the evening is worth having. Pick somewhere you can hear each other.

• Roomers Bar Frankfurthotel bar - she can arrive without crossing a lobby · open late · busy and loud after midnight

The areas, honestly

Every city has a district everyone names and a district where things actually happen. In Germany they are not always the same place.

• Bahnhofsviertel Frankfurtstreet scene, not a venue · the nightlife spine of the city · busy and loud after midnight
• Reeperbahn Hamburgthe nightlife spine of the city · tourist-priced, watch the bill · busy and loud after midnight
• Kurfürstenstraße Berlinstreet scene, not a venue · busy and loud after midnight
• Altstadt Münchenwalkable to everything · quiet enough to talk · dress properly or you will feel it

Three things that cost nothing

• Be where you said you would be, at the time you said it. Punctuality reads as respect, and it is the cheapest respect there is.
• Settle the practical part at the start, once, and never bring it up again.
• Book the room in your own name and go up first. Never ask her to check in for you.
