“Discover the RIVERstyle” –  so goes the invitation at Hamburg’s Empire Riverside Hotel, and it captures perfectly the blend of international flair, timeless elegance, and Hanseatic understatement that defines the place. The design hotel occupies the bronze-clad tower conceived by celebrated British architect Sir David Chipperfield, commanding a striking presence above the St. Pauli Landungsbrücken –  as impressive within as without. Guests are treated to sweeping views over Hamburg and the port, 327 beautifully appointed rooms and suites, the celebrated Skyline Bar 20up, and the inventive fish restaurant waterkant.

We have been accompanying the Empire Riverside Hotel since late 2025 with strategic counsel, hands-on support, and first-rate public relations.
