The Hotel Boutique Alsterblick Hamburg occupies a historic building on Schwanenwik, beside the shore of the Außenalster lake. It is a 4-star hotel with views of the water or the garden, for anyone who prefers to sleep by the lake and travel into the centre by transport.
Location and getting around
Hamburg Hauptbahnhof (main station) is about 25 minutes on foot and Dammtor station about 30. The Binnenalster, at Jungfernstieg, is about 35 minutes’ walk skirting the lake, and the Rathaus (town hall) about 40.
For the Speicherstadt, the Elbphilharmonie or the harbour, more than 3 km away, public transport or a taxi is best.
Rooms and facilities
The rooms have a private bathroom and look onto the lake or the house garden. There is an internet connection in the rooms and in the shared areas.
Breakfast is a buffet served in the building’s former ballroom, with views of the water. A restaurant or bar for meals is not listed.
Who it suits
- A good fit if you travel as a couple and fancy a walk or a run beside the Außenalster.
- Ideal if you prefer to stay by the water rather than on a shopping street.
- Worth a look if you are interested in a building with history.
