For those wishing to conquer the world for themselves, travel is essential – a philosophy that inspired Hamburg native and shipping magnate Albert Ballin to build and design the Atlantic in 1909 for Hapag-Lloyd’s first-class passengers. And this belief is still a key guiding light for our grand hotel more than 100 years later. Here at the gateway to the world in the heart of the Hanseatic city of Hamburg, we will whisk you away to a world of discovery that will enthuse, inspire and encourage. Here, in one of the prettiest spots we know in the city of ship owners and cosmopolitans.

Located directly next to Hamburg’s Lake Alster, the view across the waters is not simply about admiring nature’s beauty. For the Grand Hotel Atlantic, the Hamburg Alster symbolizes the lure of distant lands, the joy of being active and the passion of being involved in what’s going on. That’s why we offer you a wide variety of individual and creative options when you visit us to ensure that this aura doesn’t pass you by.

Those who choose this lifestyle see the world and its wonders in a totally different dimension. Explorers don’t travel from A to B, they view the path as an exciting challenge and part of the achievement. They are open-minded to the obvious and the unknown. This is how they set foot on the world’s stage and how they think of it. And our guests are exactly the same which is wonderful and we are extremely grateful of this.

In line with the season, we inspire you with varied culinary highlights. From afternoon tea to the Easter menu, find out here which events await you at the Hotel Atlantic Hamburg!

The Lobby, the pulsating heart of our grand hotel. It’s where people meet, seek interaction and chat about new and indifferent topics. It’s a place to watch others and for others, to a certain extent, to watch you. And while you’re at it, why not enjoy a cup of tea and a fine pastry from the Atlantic patisserie? The hotel’s Grand Lobby symbolizes an ‘oceanic’ connection to the gastronomic world that is offered to you in the Atlantic. Step inside, feel at ease and discover!
