Select Hotel Tiefenhal

Such was Hamburg’s influence on The Beatles that John Lennon said he was born in Liverpool but grew up in the German city. If you’re looking for an equally impactful time here, this is the hotel for you. It’s conveniently located by Wandsbek Markt Metro, from where you can reach the city centre in only 10 minutes and walk in the Fab Four’s footsteps on a special Beatles tour.

Before you head out for the day, be sure to treat yourself to the hotel’s generous breakfast buffet while admiring the views over the Wandsbeker Marktplatz square. Some of the guest rooms also feature kitchenettes, so you can cater for yourself on holiday. However, if you prefer to pop out for a local bite to eat, the neighbouring shopping centre has an array of restaurants and cafés.

After days out exploring the ‘Venice of the North’ – so called because Hamburg is home to lots of waterways and over 2,000 bridges – the hotel’s soundproofed rooms guarantee a good night’s sleep. Each room is fully equipped with WiFi, satellite TV and a private bathroom, and the front desk is open 24/7.
