The port and the sea. Industry and romance. Cabins and logbooks. The Port of Hamburg with its overseas shipping containers and the mighty Elbe river doesn’t just provide a backdrop for the 25hours Hotel Hamburg HafenCity; they are all part of it. The Hamburg-based Stephen Williams Associates, in cooperation with Eventlabs, storyteller Markus Stoll, and set designer Conni Kotte were all responsible for the interior design. In the central HafenCity district, guests can quench their thirst for travel in their rooms. Sailors’ yarns and history of the port included. The ground floor of the 25hours Hotel HafenCity aspires to be a living room for the whole neighborhood and can be a relaxed lounge or a bustling bar, depending on the time of day. The restaurant Heimat serves your favorite dishes made from responsibly-sourced ingredients.

In the little Captain’s home with 49 cozy cabins, Hamburg’s history is brought to life. The oldest building in the HafenCity, which is also a listed building, is now home to contemporary design with industrial charm, eclectic cuisine, and long drinks. The guest rooms designed by the Augsburg-based design team, Dreimeta, are cozy, intimate, and individual. The former Port Authority building was a meeting point for seafarers for many years, where people from all walks of life would share their experiences. Be it port romances or bitter struggles with the forces of nature at sea. Their history is the history of the 25hours Hotel Hamburg Altes Hafenamt. Guests can reach the NENI Hamburg restaurant via a gangway on the ground floor. Here, guests are served East-Mediterranean cuisine that is perfect for sharing. You can enjoy an apéritif or a nightcap at the neighboring Boilerman Bar, where a portrait of the Harbourmaster keeps watch.
