Hotel Atlantic Hamburg: greetings from the front desk
The Hotel Atlantic is one of the landmarks of Hamburg hotel-keeping. Built in 1909 for fourteen million gold marks as the epitome of Wilhelmine luxury, it carries to this day the nickname “white castle on the Alster” — the great white stone façade really does give the house a palatial appearance. It lies in the district of St. Georg, between the Outer Alster and the main station, and has been part of the Hanseatic cityscape for generations.
Spa with an Alster view. The light-flooded spa area lies on the third floor of the house and looks onto the Alster: an indoor pool, a Finnish sauna, an infrared sauna, a solarium and treatment rooms for massages and beauty treatments. A classic city spa that brings the house's quiet waterside position indoors.
A Hanseatic institution. With 221 rooms and suites in classic style, several restaurants and bars and a long history as a social meeting place, the Atlantic is more than a hotel — the musician Udo Lindenberg has lived in the house for years, and James Bond already filmed here. Today the house is run as part of the Autograph Collection.
Spa with an indoor pool above the Alster
The spa area of the Atlantic lies on the third floor and is designed for light and views: an indoor pool with a view of the Alster, a Finnish sauna, an infrared sauna, a solarium and treatment rooms for massages as well as facial and body treatments. A classic grand-hotel spa in the middle of the city.
221 rooms and suites
The 221 rooms and suites are furnished in classic style and offer the modern comfort of a luxury house. Many rooms look onto the Outer Alster; the generous suites belong to the most representative in Hamburg.
Restaurants & bar
The house runs several gastronomic addresses — from the classic main restaurant to the bar, which has been a meeting point of city society for decades. The Hanseatic tradition of the Atlantic is reflected on the plate too.
Location on the Outer Alster
The Atlantic stands at An der Alster 72–79 in the district of St. Georg, directly on the eastern shore of the Outer Alster and only a few minutes from the main station. The city centre, the Kunsthalle, the Schauspielhaus and the Alster promenade are reachable on foot.
