Henri Hotel, Hamburg
Expert reviews
“Kidney-shaped tables, plush armchairs, vintage typewriters – the Henri channels the 1950s so successfully that you half expect to run into Don Draper. Its 65 rooms and studios are a good fit for urban lifestyle junkies who like the alchemy of modern comforts and retro design.”
“Concealed down a side street not far from the main station, this small boutique hotel, with its retro rooms, furniture, and phones, will undoubtedly please fans of film noir and Mad Men. Guest rooms are softly lit, their dark, wooden chairs and cabinets offset by light green walls, gray curtains, and white wood panels behind the beds.”
“The Henri is owned by the same company behind the stately Louis C. Jacob hotel. Markedly different from its sister property, it offers 65 stylish and highly comfortable rooms and suites in a central location, a rooftop spa with great views, plus warm and professional service.”

All you need to know
Henri Hotel exudes a vintage charm, from its gracefully fashioned brick exterior, characterized by a marquee-styled hotel name, to guest rooms adorned with classical telephones and age-old writing desks.
Nestled in the heart of Hamburg, this unique boutique hotel is situated in a refurbished office edifice, with remnants of its original mid-century modern design.
The ambiance is reminiscent of Mad Men, but with a modern German flair; instead of secretaries, you’ll prepare your own espresso, and instead of martinis and wedge salads for dinner, there’s Abendbrød, a light meal composed of seasonal fare.
Guest rooms are not only beautifully furnished but also pragmatic, featuring snug seating areas and well-appointed coffee corners. More spacious suites boast full-length windows, separate lounges, and mini kitchens.
Additional amenities include a well-equipped gym and a petite spa on the top tier, offering cityscape views, a basic yet tasty breakfast, and a trendy cocktail bar — interestingly, an honesty bar lets you serve yourself outside normal operating hours.

Great choice in Hamburg.
Thoughtful touches such as good quality hairdryer, free water and coffee machine in room. Great breakfast buffet with lots of choice. Honesty fridge of drinks if you get thirsty. Free bread & dips at 7pm each day. Great retro decor. 11.30 am check out, which is later than most places. Desk area in room to work from. Good water pressure too - a small thing but makes a huge difference.
Building site currently opposite the hotel.so noisy during the day but quiet from 6pm until.7am.

Exactly what I was looking for, very accomodating staff, awesome experience
Brilliant location right in the centre in walking distance to central train station and main shopping mile with countless restaurants, yet super quiet nestled in side street. Beautiful breakfast and very homely setup. Fabulous beds and very spacious room.

Wonderful hotel and staff and look forward to staying there again.
We really liked everything about this hotel...all the little cute details were noted...it was a comfy bed with a comfy duvet and the room was spacious and bright with windows that opened to let in fresh air. The breakfast was reasonable priced and nice variety of food. Fresh warm break was available for an evening snack complimentary. The location was the best...close to the train station and shopping street. Would definitely stay here again.
It was a bit annoying that the tv channels were all in German...I do understand that would be the case...but seeing that English is an international language and many English speaking tourists...would have appreciated a few more channels in english...other than one Sky news channel from UK.

Cozy stay right near central station
Lovely rooms with pretty furnishings and room design. Comfortable beds. Lovely staff who were very helpful with everything we needed and were very kind with any issues we had. Great location right near central station. Not far to walk to other main sights like town hall, close to public transport. Okay breakfast.
There was no door to separate the main room and the bathroom which was very weird especially when staying with friends or family, luckily the shower is out of sight from the main room but meant anyone else had to stay put on the bed to not accidentally walk past while you are in the shower. Unfortunately also our room AC stopped working in the middle of the night, but the staff were kind when we let them know and can’t be helped but was a bit uncomfortable.

A nicely designed hotel in a convenient central location.
Great central location. Having a separate toilet was nice. Helpful, friendly staff.
Coffee machine was difficult to operate. No hair conditioner provided, but a sign saying go ask at reception and they would help out, however when I asked for conditioner, I wax charged 3 euros.

Would come back and would recommend to anyone asking for a great hotel in Hamburg
The style, everything was well thought-through, super friendly and competent staff, nice wines, a comfortable bed. Absolutely awesome!
I thought the carpet on the stairs in the hallway/entrance area was quite smelly. Sorry!

Very good
The staff is super friendly and helpful. Good breakfast and available foods and drinks to buy during the day, which is quite handy. Nice design. You can also book their sauna and lounge space for 2 hrs, only for yourself. Very central location.
Small room. There is a construction site just in front, which can be noisy during weekdays

Beautiful hotel but beware if disabled traveller.
Lovely styling. Good facilities.
As a disabled traveller I was unaware of 10-12 steps at hotel entrance. Also construction work outside hotel meant difficulty being picked up and dropped off. Normally there is a disabled bay outside. Ended up having stand up argument in street with construction worker.

Wonderful
The wonderful staff were so helpful. You could not fault the location, so close to everything.
Nope nothing.

Fantastic 👍
Very cozy, and they prepared everything for my dog, I really appreciated it. The location would be perfect if the construction ended.
The construction in front of the hotel they start work at 6:30am.

cool hotel in heart of Hamburg
Henri hotel has a retro style. Everything is very nice. Good hot shower, good bed quality, nice room. Elevator is large and quick. Breakfast is very good. Location is excellent. Train station is walking distance. Strong wifi. Recommended hotel for HH.
There is a large construction project across the street (May 2024) which can be noisy during work hours. They only clean and makeup the room every other day, but if you ask they will do it everyday.

Fabulous
Very friendly staff, breakfast is great.
The shower heads could not be fixed, which was a tad annoying.
