Hotel Atlantic, Hamburg
Expert reviews
“Imagine yourself aboard a luxury ocean liner in this grand 252-room hotel, which opens onto Holzdamm. Built in 1909 for passengers departing for America, it has ornate stairwells, wide hallways and subtle maritime touches.”
“There are few hotels in Germany more sumptuous than this gracious Edwardian palace facing the Aussenalster, which draws both celebrities and the not-so-famous searching for a luxe retreat. Built in 1909 for first-class passengers about to travel across the Atlantic, the hotel still exudes class.”
“This stately five-star is one of Hamburg’s finest grand hotels. With a stellar location overlooking the Alster Lake and a luxurious aesthetic throughout its 221 rooms and extensive public spaces, it also offers a spa with indoor pool, high-end restaurant and exemplary service.”

An elegant yet cosy experience.
Extremely well maintained. . Feels very authentic with fine attention to detail and quality… a beautiful lobby with an open fire, super soft bed linen, really comfortable mattress and the best pillows.
Breakfast is extremely expensive at €46 per adult.

A wonderful hotel
- incredible history - staff are professional - art style in the hotel is wonderful - concierge were helpful - the lobby is wonderful - very big building - room service is good - the room was beautifully designed
- keep in mind the hotel is 10 minutes maybe more away from the action of the city center - dine in food was ok

Long weekend in Hamburg
A Historical building, a lobby bar, big room, extremely comfortable bed and pillows, comfortable bathroom, good towels, quiet and extremely good night sleep, clearn, possibility to open a window in a room. Free bottle of drinking water every day, coffee machine with capsules in a room.
Nothing that let you feel that you are in a 5 star hotel: no welcome drink, no complimentary gifts, no clearning room before a night, no small gifts for good night. All staff absolutely formal, no real kindness or hospitality. Despite of that very expensive. 20 min by foot to major attractions. But the bigest dissapointment was a breakfast. It has a lot of choises but all food was tasteless and of low quality ( the cheap LIDL products) . It was real surprise for me in a 5 star hotel! No tea kettle in a room.

A perfect place to unwind and indulge!
Hotel Atlantic Hamburg is a piece of history that offers an unforgettable experience. The rooms are spacious, and the lobby is absolutely stunning, exuding elegance and charm. We especially enjoyed the cocktails—truly exceptional. Unfortunately, we made the mistake of skipping the hamburger in the lobby and went out for dinner instead. In hindsight, staying in would have been a much better idea, allowing us to fully enjoy the hotel's atmosphere and relax in the beautiful bathroom. The breakfast selection was fantastic, with the egg Florentine and bread being highlights on the menu. A perfect place to unwind and indulge!

Gorgeous hotel, Great location, Great amenities.
This is a stunning, historic hotel in a wonderful location. It is a short walk from the central train station and fronts on the Alstersee- a gorgeous lake. It is also very walkable to City Center and there are many great restaurant/shopping options in every direction. Interior was superbly decorated, rooms were very comfortable, clean, well kept and laid out, and included every amenity from robes and slippers to a yoga mat and bathroom scale, ....
except it was startlingly difficult to get a cup of tea even with my own tea bags. The in room nespresso machine defied all efforts to heat plain water and room service pot of tea was 16 euro once service fee added. Had to go downstairs where the staff was happy to oblige but had to find someone, bother them, and then tote a hot pot back upstairs. Other minor nitpicks- rain shower only option (I think these are overated), no place to prop a foot in shower to shave legs, the food prices were astronomical (though the food was excellent), and there were no chocolate desserts on any menu.

Hotel Atlantic
The hotel was gorgeous and centrally located. The staff was fantastic, and the food was amazing. It was hands down the best breakfast buffet I've ever had. The pool and exercise facilities were great. The room was beautiful. I had a spa treatment that was great.
The bed and pillows weren't very comfortable, and it was incredibly hot and humid. We turned on the air conditioning, but it didn't work very well. This was compounded by the fact that they didn't have individual duvets or a top sheet. We ended up sleeping with the window open, which cooled the room down a bit. But the humidity and bedding got us in the end. It was two of the worst nights of sleep I've had in a while.

Great location. Hotel is very impressive inside and the rooms are very spacious.
The location was great. The breakfast was also very good. A nice selection of food for everyone’s taste.
The view was limited and unfortunately there was construction noise from across the road, so not very relaxing during the day.

Very good
Prime location close to the Alster Lake and at 5 minute walk to the town center. The building encompasses a lot of historical charm. The spa is excellent. The front desk staff are amazing, and the concierge service is top notch.
Poor daily cleaning, no turn down service, mini bar didn’t get refilled once during our 4 day stay. It’s a shame cause these details or rather the lack of them takes away from an otherwise excellent experience.

It is a very elegant hotel, offering different restaurants, a lovely bar, extremly good breakfast. The lake is beautiful nearby. There is a professional staff, it is almost unique in Germany. (Only in the bigger 5 star hotels have an adequate number of employees.)
The swimming pool is rather small.

Location, Staff and Style!
A beautiful, classical style hotel with a long history right across a street from the Aussen-Alster. The staff was amazing and went above and beyond with our welcome, assistance with a rental car return, and advice during our stay. Easy access to the Hamburg Central Train station and the S and U-Bahn tracks. Very walkable to older historical sites, also. A wonderful experience!!

Perfect stay in a hotel that truly represents their 5 stars
Everything was perfect in our stay at the Atlantic. The care with our important dates was amazing with amenities and true demonstration of care for my birthday and our anniversary. The Concierge went above and beyond to help me with perfect flowers perfectly arranged at breakfast for our anniversary and to surprise my wife, but the entire hotel staff joined in the process of making our day amazing. On top of impeccable cleaning, great room, food this stay was really good. My son and wife ordered from room service every night, very late, and their food was always great and the kindness of the lady serving them was amazing.
I think the not so perfect experience was at the bar. I have gin and tonic everywhere and tried it in many ways but here it came is a simple glass with really huge chunks of cucumber. It was simply not nicely prepared. But again, everything else being perfect, this was a minor issue.

Comfort in a great place
The room was very comfortable, the hotel is spacious and has a variety of services available for the guests. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. The location is ideal for all ages.
The rooms need a little TLC. Little holes and dents on the wall.

The hotel is beautiful, spotless and lives up to 5 stars. Staff were extremely friendly and professional. Nice tasteful bar(great selection of cocktails), and the breakfast room is lovely. Breakfast was exceptional, served until a civilised 12 at weekends, and the WiFi was fast.
The room was a little pokey (though very comfortable), but we booked late. The (pleasant) pool area could probably use a bit of an update.
