Sir Nikolai Hotel

Architecture Waterfront wonder

Architecture Waterfront wonder

The seven-story structure was originally a warehouse but now offers a sublime mix of open spaces and intimate lounges.

Housed inside a revived 19th-century Kontorhaus, which sits directly on the waterfront, this part-mansion part-warehouse structure plays host to a glass conservatory with a sliding roof, among other stunning architectural highlights.

Custom-made furniture inhabits a world defined by a jewel-toned color palette, elegant lighting, and details...

that reflect the history of Hamburg and the building itself. The hotel’s interiors are a celebration of polished marble, unrefined wood, handpicked artwork, and vintage rugs, with talking points including a Bohemian chandelier and a terrazzo floor in the courtyard. An elegant color palette inspired by jewels permeates the property throughout.
