St. Pauli Location

The hotel is located in St. Pauli, 0.5 km from Landungsbrücken piers. It's near the Museum of Hamburg History (0.5 km), St. Michael's Church (1.5 km), and the Elbphilharmonie (2.5 km). The area features local fashion boutiques and cafes.

Hotel Services

Services include harbor cruise packages with Abicht company, gin tastings at David's bar, and New Year's Eve events. The hotel offers musical ticket packages for Disney's The Lion King and MJ - The Michael Jackson Musical. Room service and concierge services are available.

“I appreciate the modern architectural design, a signature of David Chipperfield, complemented by thoughtful amenities like local survival kits-a practical touch. The Skyline Bar 20up, perched high above, offers panoramic city views, while the on-site restaurant waterkant serves innovative Nordic cuisine. Its location near the vibrant Reeperbahn entertainment district makes it an ideal base for exploring Hamburg's nightlife and cultural attractions.”
