What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Occupying an imposing 1907-vintage building that was once the headquarters of Hamburg’s tax authority, Fraser Suites is just about as central as it gets, surrounded by cultural and commercial destinations.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Rödingsmarkt station sits right outside, and the historic Rathaus is a short stroll along the canal.

The rooms
Suites are styled like contemporary apartments, and selected rooms look straight down onto the Alsterfleet canal.
The saunas and gym
A bio sauna heated to 60°C and a 100°C Finnish sauna pair with quiet loungers in the relaxation space.
Restaurant
Quintessenz
Curved oak walls and arched windows line the dining room, where menus range from Hamburg classics to Argentine entrecôte.
At the table
The Oval Bar prepares house infusions using a rotary evaporator. Shelves behind the curved counter stock premium whiskeys and gins.
How it began
Municipal architect Albert Erbe designed the curved red-brick monument in 1907 to house Hamburg's regional finance directorate.
