The Hotel Hafen Hamburg is a 4-star hotel on Seewartenstraße, above the Landungsbrücken piers, with rooms spread over two buildings: a former seamen’s hostel and a modern wing. You have the Elbe about 5 minutes’ walk away.
Location and getting around
The Landungsbrücken piers are about 5 minutes on foot. The Reeperbahn and St Michael’s Church (the Michel) are about 10 minutes’ walk away.
It is about 20 minutes on foot to the Elbphilharmonie and the Speicherstadt along the harbour. The Rathaus (town hall) is about 25. For the main station, 2.6 km away, the U-Bahn or a taxi is best.
Rooms and facilities
In the old building, the rooms are traditional in style with nautical-themed antiques. In the new one, the design is contemporary. All have a flat-screen TV, a safe and a hairdryer.
The Port restaurant serves traditional northern German cooking and has a terrace. The Tower Bar, at the top of the building, offers views of the harbour and the Elbe. Breakfast is a buffet and continental.

- A good fit if you want to see the harbour from the hotel bar.
- Ideal if you are taking a boat trip from Landungsbrücken.
- Handy if you like to choose between a classic or a modern atmosphere.
