Welcome to Hotel Louis C. Jacob

Step into the world of Louis C. Jacob – a place where you are more than just a guest; you become part of a living masterpiece. Here, between the open sky and the River Elbe, light and air create moments of magic. Mornings arrive with golden sunlight dancing across your sheets. Evenings fade into soft colors as voices mingle on the terrace and the river glimmers below.

 

At Jacob, it’s not about capturing moments – it’s about living them. Come and let yourself be carried away.

Jacob in Nienstedten. Over the centuries, our house has been shaped by remarkable people and timeless traditions. Discover the history behind Hamburg’s most storied hotel.
