Set in the former harbor authority building at the edge of Speicherstadt, this design hotel blends historic brick architecture with a bright, harbor-inspired interior. The rooftop bar looks directly over the port basin.
25hours Hotel Hamburg Altes Hafenamt occupies the former harbor authority building at Baumwall, on the edge of Speicherstadt and the Altstadt, directly across from the port basin and a short walk from the Landungsbrücken piers. The building itself is a piece of Hamburg's port history, a historic redbrick structure that the hotel has restored and paired with a bright, harbor-inspired interior referencing the city's shipping and trading past. Rooms range from compact Small Rooms to Medium Rooms, Harbor View Rooms, and a Suite, with the harbor-facing categories looking directly onto the working port basin and passing ships. The rooftop bar is the property's signature feature, offering uninterrupted views over the port and Speicherstadt rooftops, and the restaurant serves a casual, contemporary menu. There is a fitness centre for guests, though as with other 25hours properties the wellness offering is modest compared with the design and dining experience. Service is relaxed and informal, suited to travellers drawn to the historic building and port views, with staff experienced in directing guests to the Speicherstadt museums, the Elbphilharmonie, and harbor boat tours departing nearby.
