What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Guests are greeted by a spacious lobby with ample, comfortable seating, soaring ceiling, and bar perfect for relaxing after a flight or long day of sightseeing.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Binnenalster lake sits a short walk away, and the shops along Mönckebergstraße are seven minutes on foot.
The rooms
Rooms keep to a clean, functional layout, with heated floors and rainfall showers in the bathrooms.
Sauna and gym
A Finnish sauna and wood-slatted relaxation space sit beside a fitness room stocked with treadmills and weights.
At the table
Floor-to-ceiling wine displays flank the dining room, where breakfast buffets give way to evening tapas and cocktails.
How it began
The 2012 building uses pale limestone rather than Hamburg's typical red brick, blending cleanly into Ferdinandstraße.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
