Hamburg

Hotel Atlantic is inextricably linked to Hamburg’s history, to its rise as a Hanseatic trading hub and to the entrepreneurial talent of its ship owners. One of the most important of these, Albert Ballin, was responsible for opening the hotel in 1909 at a time when maritime tourism was flourishing. Ballin’s creation was the first highlight for first-class passengers: an exquisite place for them to stay prior to embarking on a journey with the famous HAPAG Hamburg America Line.

Hamburg meets the world

Hotel Atlantic Hamburg has always been a society hotspot. It’s where Hamburg’s citizens come together and where Hamburg meets the world. Numerous festivities, occasions and events of local, national and international significance propelled the status of the grand hotel to heights that were comprehendible but hard to emulate. Maybe this is the fascination that the hotel holds – for us and for guests from around the world. A clear explanation is hard to come by, or perhaps shouldn’t be sought at all. But radiating from its walls is the energy of lasting moments that enchants with its fullness and embraces every one of us.

ATLANTIC BAR

A place of discovery…

“Delusion is short, remorse is long,” wrote Friedrich Schiller. And there’s more to life than another gin and tonic. Nothing against this famous drink but it’s well worthwhile delving into the aromas of the world, discovering something new or valuing something familiar. We are all for everyday things – but only when they have something special. That’s what we stand for and it’s with this approach that we welcome all guests to the Atlantic Bar!

Hamburg, the city of ship owners

Hamburg is renowned for being the city of ship owners. With their curiosity, their desire for the unknown and their trading nous, they have played a key role in making Hamburg what it is today. Their passion had a positive influence on non-commercial activities too. Everyday dealings with strangers and the benefits of a global society has led to an open mindset that welcomes cosmopolitan perspectives and reacts positively to anything new.

Traveling as a way of life

Traveling is a way of life and a mindset. It’s the wish to discover new things, to pursue something exciting and pay even more respect to something well established. Those who travel and manage their encounters with openness and appreciation will also have a better understanding of the world. Traveling is also a prized possession whose value cannot be expressed in numbers. It’s an asset that appears immaterial and only sharing the experience enhances its effect.

Character and profile

Our city owes a great deal to the people who designed it and of course to those who visited it during their lives. Our grand hotel would not be the same had it been located elsewhere. Hamburg has made its mark on us – with all its charm and hospitable culture, with its love for its community and others, with its modest nature and love of life. That’s why those who visit us will not only experience the world but also Hamburg with all its facets. Despite our reserved nature, this is something we are truly proud of.

Hamburg America Line

Built for the first-class passengers of the HAPAG Company when traveling with the Hamburg America Line, great importance was attached to the hotel’s seafaring role. British teas served in the lobby, a winter garden with palm-tree flair, and even its own in-house travel agency for clients of the Hamburg America Line stamped the maritime character on the luxury hotel from its earliest days onwards.

Hamburg in the 1920s

The wild Twenties left their mark. In the times when jazz music ‘saturated’ the air and Josephine Baker danced the Charleston, the effects of the era characterized Hamburg significantly. And still do to this day. That’s because Hamburg is the undisputed musical and entertainment capital of Germany. The world’s elixir of life was and still is accessible to all in Hamburg.

Atlantic Lobster Bisque

The world cannot be assigned with one single signature dish. And rightly so. Its offerings are far too diverse and magnificent for this. But if we were to attempt to combine the past, the present, the world, the city of Hamburg and the hotel in one culinary composition, for enjoying in the hotel and for taking away afterwards as a travel gift – it would be the Atlantic Lobster Bisque. A dish we have in fact already created and one that gives us great pleasure when the travelers’ delight goes beyond the taste itself.
