The only privately owned luxury hotel in vibrant Hamburg, the Louis C. Jacob houses a notable collection of 19th- and 20th-century original artworks, including Max Liebermann’s Lime Tree Terrace. The hotel offers 85 rooms and suites, each thoughtfully designed with distinctive touches. Guests can choose rooms with views of the hotel’s extensive gardens, the harbor, or the River Elbe. Special packages include themed escapes such as “Jacob and the Musicals,” which features an overnight stay in an elegant room, breakfast, a welcome pastry, tickets to a musical of your choice, a theater menu at the wine restaurant Kleines Jacob, and a keepsake picture book of the selected performance.
While in Hamburg, delve into the city’s musical history on a Hamburg Beatles Tour led by musician Stefanie Hempel. Accompanied by her ukulele—George Harrison’s preferred stringed instrument—and drawing on many years of industry connections, Hempel guides small groups through the St. Pauli district. Highlights include a stop at Indra, where the Beatles met drummer Ringo Starr; the site used for the Rock’n’Roll album cover shoot; and the Star Club, where the band performed on its opening night. Along the way, Hempel performs songs associated with the Fab Four, and guests are encouraged to sing along and join in the fun.
