Fam Trip "Hamburg Design Hotels"
Architecture of Encounter - Discover Hamburg's world of design. Four hotels. Four perspectives. One shared experience.
The Hanseatic city combines Hanseatic elegance with maritime flair and offers you a backdrop that inspires, connects and delights. A very special atmosphere is created between modern architecture, historic warehouses and waterways - perfect for extraordinary events.

The city also has a lot to offer in terms of cuisine: from fine North German cuisine to international gourmet experiences and relaxed evenings in trendy districts. This is where business meets lifestyle - professional, stylish and always a little Nordic.
With our "HAMBURG DESIGN HOTELS" fam trip, we invite you to discover the city's most exciting event locations, experience innovative concepts live and get to know the unmistakable lifestyle of this dynamic metropolis.
Look forward to three days full of impressions, new contacts and fresh ideas - for events that will be remembered.
