What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The past still lives in its way — a whiff of the sea-captain persists — but it’s combined with a healthy dose of the boutique chain’s fresh irreverence.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set on Überseeboulevard, the hotel sits right between the red-brick warehouses of the historic Speicherstadt and the Elbe waterfront.
The rooms
Individually arranged layouts channel a ship captain's quarters with pipe fixtures, globes, and soft seafaring blue-green tones.
The gym
Wooden loungers and a punching bag sit beneath skylights in the fitness room, and Schindelhauer bikes are ready for harbour rides.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
NENI sets out Levant breakfast spreads beside tall brick windows, and The Boilerman Bar mixes highballs in the former chart room.
How it began
Dating to 1885, the listed neo-Gothic brick landmark is HafenCity's oldest building, once serving as the harbour construction office.
