Next to the harbour and a few steps from the Landungsbrücken piers is Hotel Hafentor Hamburg, a 3-star hotel with a Mediterranean restaurant. The rooms have air conditioning. It is a good base if your plans take in the Elbe, the Michel and the Elbphilharmonie.
Location and getting around
The address is Hafentor 3. The Landungsbrücken piers are about a 5-minute walk away and St Michael’s Church (the Michel) about 10. The Elbphilharmonie and the Reeperbahn are each about 15 minutes on foot, and the Speicherstadt about 20.
Allow about 40 minutes on foot to the main station, so if you arrive by train, use public transport for the last stretch.
Rooms and facilities
Each room has air conditioning, a desk, a kettle, a safe, a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom with a shower. There is free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel, which is smoke-free.
