Just returned from the Fairmont Vier Jahreszeiten and had an excellent stay!
I had the pleasure of staying in the Penthouse Suite which is a one-bedroom suite located on the 5th floor (Bel Etage) and features a massive patio overlooking the Inner Alster.
The patio can be accessed from both the bedroom and living room and has some very comfortable patio furniture; I thoroughly enjoyed the views from the patio while having breakfast or a glass of wine at night.
Platinum welcome amenity consisted of a half bottle of red wine, some nuts and a fruit plate.
Overall, an outstanding stay!^

That's good to hear, Jasper2009. I'll stay there on Friday using my (Fairmont Platinum) free night and suite upgrade certificate. I'm looking forward to discovering the Lakefront Suite and also to dining at Haerlin, where I'll use my dining certificates. The only downside is that breakfast isn't included, but from what I read on this thread it's worth going for it nonetheless. May I ask if you were upgraded to the Penthouse Suite? Also, what does "Bel Etage" mean besides top floor?
And yes, I was upgraded to the Penthouse Suite - certainly not expected, but a very nice gesture (and much appreciated, since I was travelling with friends). FWIW, I've stayed there multiple times as a Plat member and this was the first time I received a comp. upgrade.
Bel Etage merely is the name of the top floor ("Etage" means floor in German).

The Lakefront Suite is very nice and spacious.

You're welcome! To answer your previous question: Breakfast is excellent, though certainly not cheap at 39Euros/person. There are many decent options nearby in the 10-15Euros range, though obviously the breakfast at the Fairmont will be better.
Personally, I thought buying some bread rolls and croissants, smoked meat, cheese, smoked salmon, juice and sparkling wine at the Rewe supermarket 300m away and enjoying a nice breakfast with friends on the patio while paying <10Euros/person was hard to beat.
Then again, I'm a cheapskate.

Now, should I get the same upgrade as you (highly unlikely I guess), I'll make good use of the patio if the weather plays along with a good bottle from Rewe to enjoy with a view...

I just returned from this property and can indeed confirm that it is stunning.
I was upgraded to a 95sqm Celebrity Suite with full Lake View. The 2* restaurant Haerlin was the other highlight, superb cuisine and setting. All in all, a most memorable weekend.

Wow - may I ask which celebrity suite you stayed in?

For what it's worth, I just called to book and was told that for a room for more than one person, I needed to use the cert to book a one-person Fairmont room and also use an upgrade cert. I may try to call back and see if I get a different answer, but it's rather silly to only permit the free night cert for a one-person room.
