The hotel is located in a beautiful art nouveau palace in one of Hamburg´s finest areas. The downtown, the exhibition center, the convention center and the university are all within walking distance of the property. That applies as well for the recreation areas of the AuÃxenalster and Hamburg's most picturesque municipal park Planten un Blomen. The interior of the hotel has a fancy decoration and offers much ambiance, i.e. the comprehensive breakfast buffet is served in a beautiful room that is designed like an old coffee house. In June 2006 the hotel's ownership has changed and since then many creative improvements have been implemented. A dedicated team is committed to give the residence a personal touch through friendliness and service.
