5* Conrad Hamburg

5* Conrad Hamburg

Near Gay Nightlife, Luxury

Conrad Hamburg brings proper five-star luxury back to the historic Levantehaus, right in the centre of Hamburg. The location is particularly useful for gay travellers too: Hamburg Hauptbahnhof and the LGBTQ+ scene around St. Georg and Lange Reihe are within an easy walk, while the main shopping streets begin almost outside. Rooms and suites are spacious and elegantly contemporary, and the hotel also offers apartment-style accommodation with kitchenettes. Facilities are impressive, with an indoor swimming pool, substantial spa, fitness centre, restaurant, executive lounge and 24-hour room service. The building itself dates from 1912 and provides a much grander setting than a typical new-build luxury hotel. Mönckebergstraße, Jungfernstieg and the Binnenalster are all nearby, while the central station gives you quick connections across the city. GayMapper tip: a strong option if you want Hamburg’s St. Georg gay scene accessible on foot but also want a genuinely luxurious hotel with a pool and spa to come back to.
