The Hotel The Westin Elbphilharmonie Hamburg occupies several floors of the Elbphilharmonie building, on Platz der Deutschen Einheit in HafenCity. It is a 5-star hotel with views of the Elbe and a good fit if you want to sleep inside the concert hall building with the harbour on your doorstep.
Location and getting around
The concert hall is in the same building, and the Speicherstadt, home to Miniatur Wunderland, is about a 5-minute walk away. St Michael’s Church (the Michel) is about 15 minutes on foot, and the Landungsbrücken piers and the Rathaus (town hall) about 20 minutes each.
From here you can explore much of HafenCity and the harbour on foot.
Rooms and facilities
The rooms have a seating area and a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, and there is free wifi throughout the hotel. The windows look onto the river or the city.
Breakfast is a buffet and, according to the hotel, is served in the Fang & Feld restaurant. There is also a bar, a spa and wellness area and event rooms.
Who it suits
- Ideal if you have tickets for a concert at the Elbphilharmonie.
- A good fit if you are travelling with children and plan a day at Miniatur Wunderland.
- Worth a look if you are interested in architecture and want to stay in one of the city’s landmark buildings.
