ArtBest viewsBoutiqueDesignEcoHistorical

Originally a World War II flak bunker constructed in 1942, this massive structure was built using forced labor. Over the decades, it transitioned from a wartime fortification to a cultural hub before its current transformation into a luxury eco-hotel. Its historical essence is preserved through an on-site memorial and information center, offering guests and visitors a glimpse into its somber past​

The hotel offers 134 stylish rooms, including suites, family-friendly bunk rooms, and superior accommodations with panoramic views of Hamburg. Guests can enjoy smart technology like voice assistants in rooms to control lighting, entertainment, and hotel services. Dining options include the Spanish fusion "La Sala" restaurant, the chic 'Karo & Paul' bar spread over three levels, and the 'Constant Grind' café​

Guests can explore Hamburg's vibrant neighborhoods of St. Pauli and Karoviertel or visit the nearby Millerntor-Stadion, home to the FC St. Pauli football team. The rooftop garden, the largest of its kind in Hamburg, is open to the public and provides a serene space with over 23,000 plants, walking paths, and stunning 360-degree views​

The hotel exemplifies eco-conscious living. Its green facade and rooftop garden function as natural air conditioners, enhancing energy efficiency. The transformation involved incorporating sustainable building practices, blending historical preservation with modern environmental goals​

The bunker’s original brutalist style is complemented by a pyramid-shaped extension, adding modernity while preserving its monumental aesthetic. This juxtaposition of old and new creates an immersive environment, honoring its wartime heritage while emphasizing contemporary luxury​. The property serves as a cultural hub, hosting live music events in line with the Hard Rock brand's ethos of celebrating music and community. Hard to miss!
