Retro-chic Hamburg stay near the piers

• Kickstart your day: The ARCOTEL Onyx Hamburg is the perfect spot to start your day of exploring the city. Fuel up for some sightseeing with a bountiful buffet breakfast, with plenty of options including vegetarian and vegan. Sample some regional specialities and fresh pastries with homemade jam, perfect your bowl at the muesli station, or load your plate with local cheese and sausage, enjoyed alongside specialty teas and coffees. For treats, tarts, coffees and cakes throughout the day, head to the cosy Bar Wiener Café.

• Raising the bar: A sleek hotel with a great location in the Reeperbahn entertainment district, this is the spot to return to for fun-filled and chilled out evenings alike. You’re right next door to the iconic ‘Dancing Towers’ skyscraper, so why not head up to its 23rd floor restaurant, where you can enjoy an exquisite dinner with stunning views over the city. Return to the hotel and end your day with some cool and classic cocktails in the bar, where the vibe is laid-back but still ultra-chic.

• Top spot: Just moments from a metro stop, your hotel is a gateway to the city. You’re also only 10 minutes from the St. Pauli Piers and the riverfront promenade, where you’ll find impressive river views, restaurants, gift shops, museum ships and ferries that will carry you up and down the Elbe. Take it all in, then return to the comfort of your guest room - spacious, with a trendy touch of retro in the bold yellow accents, quirky light fixtures and geometric shapes.

The hotel is around 20 to 45 minutes away from Hamburg Airport by car, or 40 minutes on public transport. The hotel is also just a 5-minute walk from St Pauli metro station, with a ten-minute link to Hamburg Central Station.
