Beautiful hotel in good location with very good breakfast and friendly staff.
The room was smelly and the our view was on a noisy construction area a few meters from our window. The room itselfe was already expensive but a parking fee of 30 Euros is even in Hamburg extortion. But what bothered me the most the mattress springs that drilled in my back the whole night. The mattress appeared to be new from outside but the inner life seemed to be a few centuries old.

We stayed for four nights in May. The Superior Room we had booked was really nice (450), spacious and light, and the bathroom was great. Everything was superbly clean and quality. The location is nice because of the Alster across the street (enjoy a beer at one of the restaurants on the water), but a bit far from the shopping areas if you have a problem with walking. We don't and loved the stroll along the shore of the Alster.
We had not booked breakfast but ate at different bakeries close by (which I love).
The Atrium at the Atlantic is nice for a cup of coffee but offers no view.

Great hotel, great staff, great breakfast. Everything superb except the spa which was a little bit disappointing, the sauna & shower in need of restauration.

I really recommend this hotel for people who need to be spoiled once in a while.

I had invited my family to an opera weekend in Hamburg and we stayed on this magnificent hotel with juniorsuites with beutiful views to the Alstern lake. Welcome at the room with strawberries and vine and the wonderful book about the hotels 100 years as a hotel for kings and imperors. When we came home after midnight from the opera the bar serviced us with some light dishes and vine and the most elegant service in the lounge area. Next morning we arrived a half hour before the end of breakfast. The restaurant was buzzie for the Fishmarket Brunch a very well known event in Hamburg. The professional staff said we were welcome to stay in the restaurant, but they think we would have more time and it was more relaxed to be served in the bar lounge, and they made a wonderfull breakfast table with many different specialities and two waiters for serving us 3 persons. Now I have stayed twice on this fabouleus hotel and I will come again it is an institution in Hamburg and in my mind for luxury.
