Hotel Atlantic Hamburg, Autograph Collection

Hamburg was the perfect starting point for our trip, and Hotel Atlantic made our stay truly memorable. The location is excellent—just a short walk from the train station—which made getting in and out of the city incredibly convenient. It was a great base for exploring Hamburg for the first time. After full days of walking and sightseeing, the hotel’s courtyard became our go-to spot to unwind. It’s a peaceful, elegant setting for an evening cocktail, and we consistently received warm, professional service from the team. A special mention goes to the breakfast staff—the operation runs like clockwork. There’s a wide selection of fresh options, plenty of seating, and an attentive team that ensures everything runs smoothly. Truly impressive. From the moment we began planning our stay, the staff’s responsiveness and care stood out. Even before we arrived, we felt the hallmark of their hospitality. Our room became a cozy home base, and the front desk team added a personal touch that made us feel like long-time guests rather than first-timers. Overall, Hotel Atlantic exceeded our expectations at every turn. We’re already dreaming of our return.

No doubt this was once a grand dame of Hamburg. The hotel itself has a grandeur about it, probably due to its size and presence on the Alster. The staff, from concierge, reception and valet were all welcoming and accommodating. We paid for a suite with lake views and the room was spectacularly huge. This was a real treat! The views were wonderful. The beds were extremely cozy and sheets divine. The furniture in the room was a little outdated, the colors- old fashioned. The hotel had an outdated feel overall. The breakfast was plentiful. We were happy to have spent the extra money to stay at this 5 star hotel. Would we come again? We may try something else next time, but very happy for the experience on this 3 night trip this time.

This Hotel is definitely 5 star. |We stayed here for two nights over the weekend. Check in was swift and lots of useful information provided plus a recommendation for dinner at a local Italian which has an excellent wine list and superb food.||The breakfast was one of the best I've had and an excellent range of options plus various cooked dishes on request. The ginger shot was fiery which pleased me as frequently ginger can be lacking in intensity. ||The room was very comfortable, spotless with a good sized bathroom. Shower pressure excellent. Occitane toiletries. ||The only let down was the hairdryer, short coiled lead and you had to keep your finger on the button to keep it operational.||Thank you for the amazing birthday cake and note which was awaiting our return on my husband's birthday. Sehr lecker und so schön. ||The hotel is well located.||Bar good.||All staff we met were extremely helpful and friendly.||Would return and definitely will recommend.

We recently stayed at a historic hotel in Hamburg, beautifully situated on the Alster. After more than 100 years, the building still holds on to its old-world elegance. High ceilings, grand staircases, and classic architectural touches that echo its storied past. There’s a quiet charm in its age, and you can feel the history in every corner.||That said, the property is clearly in need of a renovation. Some furnishings are worn, stained, and areas of the hotel feel a bit tired. While the public areas are well kept, the rooms aren’t showing their age in a positive way. It’s time for a thoughtful update that preserves the character while bringing the comfort up to modern standards.||The highlight of our stay was, without a doubt, the breakfast. It was absolutely exceptional; fresh, beautifully presented, and served with care. From the variety of offerings to the quality of ingredients, it set a perfect tone each morning.||If you appreciate tradition and a prime location, this hotel still has much to offer. With the right investment, it could return to being one of Hamburg’s finest.

The Atlantic in Hamburg is a stylish, traditional hotel, in a lovely location. The lobby is wonderful. Pleasant staff, especially the bar and restaurant. Lovely cocktails, timeless decor and easy chairs exude an old world charm. Breakfast is expensive, but wonderful, overlooking the lake. The dining room is also excellent where I had lunch and dinner. Perfect food and fine wines. The hotel is airy, replete with lots of amazing features, like the art, marble stairs, windows, features on the banisters etc. The tiled image of Kaiser Wilhelm above the fireplace is really exceptional - less so the james bond theme in the men's room, which is dated and kitsch. Upstairs the public space is magnificent but my room was pokey and disappinting, the beds old, the furniture tired and unsuitable for such a graceful old lady. The carpets need replacement urgently. The meeting facilities looked excellent. Overall the city of Hamburg is a delight: this hotel excites and amazes the guest and yet, at the same time, disappoints on minor things that would be easy to fix. Overall I would recommend this property, the location, staff and history win the day. Message for the owners - for a 2 night stay costing €1500+, some investment is needed to make it truly exceptional. 8/10 for me

We had a wonderful stay. Classy hotel, not far from the main train station, in a nice part of the city. Rooms are very comfy with lots of nice details. Staff at reception are very nice and friendly. I think some area of the hotel is under renovation, as we could see from our room’s window, although we didn’t experience any noise. I think also the swimming pool is close at the moment.

Very nice hotel. Comfortable, plush public areas, friendly and helpful staff. Used to be a Kempinski and not the same wow factor it had back then but still a very comfortable stay. Room sizes can be on the smaller end of the scale - ours was certainly a bit tight despite being classed as “superior” (really?). Perhaps a bit out of the way for the harbour and its attractions but handy for the train station

One of the best Marriott hotels in Germany and I am surprised it is part of the Autograph collection, it should have been at least W, JW or Ritz status. Amazing historical venue (check the tomorrow never dies movie) with a flavor of exceptional service and very upscale clientele. I have been Titanium with Bonvoy for some years but never felt so well taken care of. Great Job Team!
