Hard Rock International’s highly anticipated hotel, REVERB by Hard Rock Hamburg, opened within the historic St. Pauli Bunker in the German city. Designed to be a cultural hub for connection, creation and inspiration, the hotel offers 134 guest rooms and suites as well as a range of culinary options, Hamburg’s largest public rooftop garden and a live music hall.
REVERB by Hard Rock Hamburg was designed with a commitment to lessen environmental impact, with 4,700 shrubs and 16,000 perennials planted on the property. With the help of environmental scientists, more than 107,600 square feet of green and communal areas were created, making REVERB by Hard Rock Hamburg an international flagship project for climate adaptation in large cities.
The roof garden on top of REVERB by Hard Rock Hamburg offers a 360-degree view of the city and can be reached via 335 steps or the 1,837-foot-long, rail-lined “mountain path,” which starts at ground level on the north side of the bunker.
The property also houses a new three-field hall, the Georg-Elser-Hall, which can accommodate 2,200 people, as well as various event spaces for smaller groups.
