A Home In Hamburg

At Sofitel Hamburg Alter Wall, a study in contrast, luxury is a given, but sustainability is a conscious drive.

A Home In Hamburg

With its numerous rivers and canals, the Hanseatic city of Hamburg has been a centre of commerce since the 1800s. Its harbour is the second largest in Europe and an important gate to the countries along the Baltic Sea and Eastern Europe. This industrial background is the canvas on which the international brand Sofitel stamps its signature French art de vivre via its luxury hotel in the city, Sofitel Hamburg Alter Wall.

Built in 2000 on what was once a post office, the luxury hotel is a study in contrast. A modern hotel in the old part of town (hence Alter Wall or Old Wall), it enjoys a prime location on the Alsterfleet, only 150 metres from the stock exchange and a few minutes’ walk to the Rathaus (city hall). It stands by the lovely Alster Canal, a great view to the rooms overlooking it. Just across is the Neuer Wall (New Wall) and its rows of luxury brands for great shopping. Or you may want to sit in the courtyard fronting the Rathaus and admire this eclectic Neo-Renaissance building built in 1886. Or begin to explore the Jungfernstieg shopping promenade, another few corners away, and be distracted the whole day, until your feet tell you it’s time to go back to your home away from home.

To the tired tourist, harried businessman, or drained convention-goer, Sofitel Hamburg is a haven. Its most irresistible offering is the Sofitel MyBed experience. Exclusively designed for Sofitel hotels, Sofitel MyBed features reinforced edges that maximise your sleep surface, allowing you to stretch out and relax. Engineered to provide evenly balanced whole-body support, it has superior motion absorption and a medium-firm support with a soft top layer. Sleep on a Sofitel MyBed is not just a necessity, but an experience of French art de vivre.
