The Hoxton, Hamburg

Set in a 1950s building on Alter Wall, The Hoxton, Hamburg will bring the energy of the city into its ten floors and 188 rooms. Alongside the bedrooms, there'll be a Mediterranean-inspired restaurant on the ground floor, a rooftop seafood restaurant overlooking the Elbphilharmonie, Michel and Town Hall, a private dining room for up to 20 guests and an all-day lobby bar. The hotel will also be home to The Apartment, The Hoxton's signature events space, with three meeting rooms, its own pantry kitchen and a private terrace overlooking the canal.

In the heart of the Nikolaiviertel, The Hoxton will be surrounded by a mix of old and new, with historic buildings sitting alongside modern architecture, independent shops, galleries and cultural spots. The Binnenalster and Town Hall are right on the doorstep, while the spectacular Elbphilharmonie is around a 15-minute walk away. The historic merchants' houses of Deichstrasse and the UNESCO World Heritage Site Speicherstadt are also close by, making The Hoxton a perfect base to explore the neighbourhood on foot.

The interiors, designed by Swedish studio Stylt Trampoli, take their cues from Alter Wall and the surrounding neighbourhood, with the history of the area woven into the hotel's public spaces. The 188 rooms will be spread across six categories, including "Cosy," "Roomy" and "Biggy," and will sit between the first and eighth floors. There will also be 32 interconnecting rooms, ideal for families and friends travelling together.

On the ground floor, the welcoming lobby is designed to be a homey hangout for locals and guests alike, with a mix of vintage and bespoke furniture, cosy corners and artwork by local artists, alongside the vibrant all-day bar. A canal-side restaurant will be open from morning through to evening, offering breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner. Up on the roof, a destination restaurant will serve up Iberian-inspired seafood with unbeatable views over the city, courtesy of a wraparound terrace and floor-to-ceiling windows.
