Need a place to stay in Hamburg? Check-in to the lovely small stilwerk Hotel Heimhude and feel like an aristocratic local in one of the best neighbourhoods.
Finally, there is a perfect place to stay in Hamburg, located in the residential neighborhood of Heimhude, amidst elegant white villas with large rooms and green front gardens.
The stilwerk Hotel Heimhude is the brainchild of Alexander Garbe. The Hamburg native is well-versed in beautiful things. Garbe owns a platform for design, space, culture and living called stilwerk. In Hamburg – located at the harbor – and in Düsseldorf, he successfully offers space for major furnishing brands.
Now he has opened two hotels – the boutique place stilwerk Hotel Heimhude with 23 rooms and the stilwerk Hotel Blankenese with 12 studios, located directly on the Elbe. We can also highly recommend the one in Blankenese and it is also a member of our club.
But what is it like to stay at the stilwerk Hotel Heimhude?
The Hotel
stilwerk moments: 23 very cozy rooms and studios in an old building, with lots of creativity and space.
First, those arriving by train will disembark at Dammtor, an ICE station, and then casually stroll a few meters into the residential neighborhood of Heimhude. Among the magnificent houses, the hotel entrance is tucked away. It’s a mix of Notting Hill and the Hamptons. Inside: a cozy reception with an honesty bar, a small shop, and a large breakfast room. The colors: quite vibrant. Beautiful floors and a relaxed atmosphere. You quickly feel at home in this place.
We get to stay in a Medium Studio – with 18 square meters of space. Here too: a cozy ambiance. The chair from Thonet, the lamps from Occio, the bed from Wittmann. In addition, fluffy organic cotton bed linen and a view of the garden. A star-worthy experience.
The garden
Speaking of the garden: it is stunning. You feel like a local, perhaps a publishing executive or an advertising agency boss. With a total of 23 rooms, it is quite likely that you can snag one of the deck chairs for yourself and enjoy a leisurely day here. One of the studios even has its own terrace with a deck chair. Add a bit of morning sun, and drinks are available all day from the honesty bar (you simply write down what you’ve taken). Delightful.
Probably the coziest hotel garden in all of Hamburg: At the stilwerk Hotel Heimhude, you enjoy life at the level of a CEO with your own villa.
Breakfast
In the morning, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee fills the air. A lady asks what you would like, everything is very warm and above all, very personal. On a sideboard, there are various types of muesli, freshly baked bread, and a variety of ingredients. To put it simply: nothing was lacking. P.S.: You would also expect to find the other guests in Pretty Hotels, so you are in good company.
Gym
For athletes or those who feel like one, the stilwerk team has even converted a room into a small gym. It’s not a fitness palace, but it’s perfect for keeping up with your daily workout routine.
Good to know
The hotel has a few bicycles that guests can borrow for free. It’s only a 5-minute ride to the Alster, and about 10 minutes to the lovely shops in Eppendorf or Eimsbüttel. The area is, of course, one of the most beautiful places to live in Hamburg. The hotel provides restaurant recommendations as well. Our favorites in Hamburg are: Bistro Café Paris in the city center and Neumann Bistro & Winebar in the Grindelviertel.
