The Hamburg Moevenpick Towers Above the Rest

An Elegantly Upcycled German Water Tower

The Moevenpick Hotel in Hamburg is an especially elegant example of upcycling — the luxurious hotel fills the interior of an old water tower. The historic building, reputedly the largest water tower in Europe, is the dominant feature of a lovely park, and all twenty-one floors of the building have been furnished with the all comforts you expect in a hotel of its class. Moevenpick’s pricing is in line with similar high-end chain hotels, like the Hamburg Marriott or the Sofitel Hamburg.

A Massive City Park Will Be Your Front Yard

The Moevenpick Hotel overlooks the Schanzenpark, a twelve acre recreational park, which provides lovely views and scenic walks. The property’s location, in the heart of the city center, is very convenient to Hamburg’s S Bahn and U Bahn rapid transit systems, so navigating the city is a breeze. 

The Perfect Base to Explore Hamburg

A sumptuous breakfast buffet is available, but many guests choose to order a more modest breakfast à la carte. Once you've eaten, stroll through the park or visit the nearby Hamburg Congress or St. Michaelis Church. The neighborhood near the park is alive with restaurants, shops and cafés, so you can get a feel for Hamburg by exploring on foot. The park is a hub for public transportation, so you can choose the S Bahn, the U Bahn, or the subway to explore the city. 

In the evenings, relax in the hotel’s bar, The Cave, or dine in the hotel restaurant. The Moevenpick Hotel also offers a spa, sauna, and fitness facilities.  The Moevenpick is the perfect venue for relaxing after your daily sighseeing adventures.

Comfortable, Spacious Rooms

Because of the shape of the water tower, don’t be surprised to find yourself in a round room, surrounded by views of the park. All rooms have pillow-top mattresses, a separate sitting area and a spacious private bathroom. Wi-Fi is available in the rooms, for a surcharge. In your room, you’ll find amenities like a mini-bar, hair dryer, blackout drapes and premium TV channels.

The Bottom Line

The Hamburg Moevenpick blends the comfort and security of a high-end chain hotel with the boutique style of a romantic, recycled water tower building. The result is an unusual mixture of charm and comfort. Service is exceptional, and the location is perfect for exploring the city of Hamburg on foot or by public transport.
