Sir Nikolai Hotel, Hamburg, a Member of Design Hotels

Sir Nikolai—with curated art, vintage rugs, and polished marble throughout—is a showcase for artisanal quality and tradition, seamlessly blending local heritage and international sophistication in the shadow of one of Hamburg’s oldest churches, Sankt Katharinen. When guests are not retreating to one of the hotel’s 94 luxurious guestrooms, they can relax with a cocktail by a fireplace in the lbrary or by a second fireplace at the patio, a glassed conservatory incorporating the old courtyard and featuring wooden flooring. The patio also boasts a glass roof that opens effortlessly onto Hamburg’s outside world, enhancing the view to a projected art installation and the green walls of the upper floors’ courtyard. Izakaya Asian Kitchen & Bar, which begins at the patio, stretches majestically to two sun terraces that sit high above the historical Nikolaifleet.
