An exclusive lifestyle hotel with a private members club
Nobu Hotel Elbtower Hamburg will offer 191 generously designed rooms and suites, a 200-seat Nobu restaurant as well as a stylish terrace bar and lounge overlooking the Elbe river. In addition to the restaurant, the hotel will also have high-quality function rooms for corporate and social events. Another highlight is the Nobu Private Members Club. Members will benefit from a private lounge, access to the hotel’s fitness and wellness area as well as exclusive events. Nobu is one of the world’s best-known luxury hospitality brands renowned for its award-winning “new style” Japanese cuisine. Its exceptional hotel offerings with their charming service can be found in the world’s most attractive locations.
The Elbtower – a high-point of architectural and urban development
The 245m-high and 64-storey Elbtower was designed by the renowned architectural firm David Chipperfield Architects and will complete the city’s silhouette with its striking curved façade. It forms a counterpoint to the famous Elbphilharmonie concert hall. It is both a prelude to and the conclusion for the still young HafenCity district. With their innovative layouts, the publicly accessible lower floors offer a variety of shops, restaurants, co-working spaces and cultural uses. In this way they form the centre of the Elbtower. Here, office users, hotel guests, tourists and Hamburg residents will find an elegant place that invites them to linger. The tower itself consists of the most modern, flexibly configurable office spaces in which the working world of tomorrow will find a home. A roof terrace at a height of 225m offers an incomparable view over the city.
