Ultimate Business Travel Guide To Hamburg

Germany’s second largest city, Hamburg is a strategic, modern hub for business industry, and companies involved in the digital economy. It’s a place of exciting ideas and opportunities, and if that’s where you’re headed, our ultimate guide to business travel in Hamburg is for you.

The city’s origins as a business and trade centre are rooted in history, thanks to its location between the North and Baltic seas. The port grew in prominence as a central European gateway for carpets, coffee, spices, and tea. Since then, the city has grown to become a major banking centre, a manufacturer of aluminium, copper, and steel, an important location in shipbuilding and the civil aerospace industry, and a technology hub.

Business travel to Hamburg is big – the city is Germany’s fourth most popular business destination, receiving approximately 3.5 million local and international visitors annually. Hamburg’s prominence has been recognised by various city rankings. The city was in first place for Bitkom’s Smart City Index, placed in the top half of EU-Startups’ Biggest Start-Up Hubs Index, and a finalist in the EU’s Capital of Innovation Awards.

The Finance And Business District

Our business hotel in Hamburg is in a lovingly conserved listed historical property on Rödingsmarkt in HafenCity. This area of urban revitalisation continues to grow as an important financial and business district.

In addition to a high number of offices, major company headquarters, and shops, the area boasts hotels and residential properties, as well as several sites of historic and cultural importance, such as the Elbphilharmonie concert hall. The area is served by the U4 underground line, which has two new stations. Other public transport links in the area include buses, shuttles, and harbour ferries. HafenCity’s also bicycle and e-bike friendly.

HafenCity is part of the larger borough of Hamburg-Mitte, the city’s economic centre.
