The Westin Hamburg

Perched majestically atop the Elbphilharmonie building, the Westin Hamburg is a landmark hotel that sits in the heart of HafenCity, Hamburg’s revitalized waterfront district. It’s situated halfway between the venues of the St Georg gayborhood and St Pauli, making it a convenient location for hitting the town. The hotel was designed by Herzog & de Meuron—think minimalist luxury.

The Heavenly Spa on the 6th floor includes a 20-meter indoor pool, saunas, steam rooms, treatment rooms, and a tea lounge with views over the Elbe River. There’s also a fully equipped 24/7 gym with personal trainer services available.

The Fang & Feld Restaurant on the 7th floor offers local flavors and seasonal ingredients together in a relaxed, urban setting. For something extravagant, go for the “Table with a View offer”—a bold 3- or 5-course tasting. Also on the 7th floor is the Pâtisserie, where you can enjoy freshly baked pastries, chocolates, and petit fours—all crafted in-house. BLICK Bar on the 8th floor is a stylish lounge bar offering cocktails with sweeping harbor and city views.

There are a total of 244 rooms and suites, all with floor-to-ceiling windows offering spectacular views of the harbor or city. Interiors all feature the signature Westin Heavenly bed, high-quality furniture, and a restrained modern palette.
