Empire Riverside Hotel

St Pauli tower hotel with dog beds and a ground-floor bar welcome

This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
A 20-storey, 74-metre tower with 328 rooms designed by David Chipperfield Architects, rising above the Reeperbahn with floor-to-ceiling windows and harbour views. It suits city travellers who want nightlife, the harbour and a rooftop bar. Dogs get a bed in many room categories and are welcome in the ground-floor DAVID's bar and fireplace lounge, though not in the Skyline Bar 20up. The waterkant fish restaurant serves Nordic cuisine downstairs.
