The Westin Hamburg

Top choice in Hamburg


This has to be Hamburg's premier address, inside the lower half of the daring new Elbphilharmonie. It's definitely worth paying extra for a room with a city or harbour view, especially one on the upper floor (ask when you book) – if you do, you may never wish to leave your room. Rooms are stylish, minimalist and the service is professional.
