HOTEL WEDINA AN DER ALSTER, Hamburg – A Smart Stay in the City
About the Hotel
Rooms with literary flair
Hotel Wedina An Der Alster offers 57 rooms across four color-coded buildings, each themed around literature and architecture. Options range from compact budget rooms (starting at 9 sqm) to spacious apartments (up to 40 sqm). Many feature garden views through floor-to-ceiling windows, private balconies, or direct garden access. The Blue House contains 14 author-inspired rooms with exposed concrete and modern design, while the Harry Rowohlt room (33 sqm) includes event space with daylight and garden access. All rooms have flat-screen TVs, parquet floors, and free Wi-Fi; apartments add kitchenettes (€35/stay).
Books and breakfast
ZeitBar in the Red House serves a breakfast buffet (€19.50) with regional products, homemade bread, and lactose-free/vegan options from 6:30-11:00 AM. The same space transforms into a bar from noon-10:00 PM, offering small homemade dishes and drinks. Over 300 autographed books by authors like Henning Mankell fill the in-house library, borrowable from reception. A painting/reading corner in the Red House caters to children.
Garden and events
Behind the Red House, a quiet garden with seating is open 8:00 AM-10:00 PM. Three flexible event spaces (19-112 sqm) host readings, meetings, or weddings, some with garden access.
