Le Méridien Hamburg  

On the banks of the Outer Alster Lake in St. Georg, a brisk walk from Hamburg city center and Hauptbahnhof. Top sights like the historic Speicherstadt, Kontorhausviertel, the trade fair grounds and the harbor are all within easy reach. Family-friendly and pet-friendly, this spot puts concerts, museums and the convention center close at hand.

Newly renovated, designer-led rooms and suites mix contemporary style with local art and floor-to-ceiling lake views. Rooms come with practical perks like refrigerators, flat-screen TVs and separate tubs and showers in many bathrooms. Your room key even unlocks local perks—complimentary entry to Deichtorhallen and a free Alster boat trip.

Le SPA features an indoor pool, sauna and steam bath for easy downtime. Work out any hour in the 24/7 fitness center or hit the lakeside running path. Sip sunset skyline views at the HERITAGE Rooftop Bar, and enjoy concierge services, on-site shopping and paid self-parking. Wake up to Alster-breeze mornings and unwind with spa treatments.

Fifteen meeting rooms (including two ballrooms) and about 11,334 sq ft of event space—many with Alster views and floor-to-ceiling windows. Twelve flexible meeting areas add creative options for events. Complimentary wired and wireless high-speed internet, a business center and limo/town-car services round out the offerings.

HERITAGE Restaurant & Bar on the 9th floor serves fusion cuisine by day and top steaks from an 800° Southbend oven by night. Buffet breakfast is available (weekday and weekend hours vary), and the rooftop bar offers indoor and outdoor terraces with sweeping lake panoramas. Limited room service is also offered.
