Timeless elegance and reticent design - All rooms and suites of the Hotel Louis C. Jacob are decorated under this motto. Whereby the distinct sense of quality of the proprietor family is noticeable everywhere: valuable natural stone bathrooms, furniture by expert craftsmen, high quality carpets on antique oak floorboards, are the features common to all the guest-rooms, their prevailing colour - an aesthetic surprise - is green, red, blue or yellow depending on the direction they are facing. The lovingly coveted highlight is the Liebermann Room where the famous German impressionist once lived while he painted the famous Lime Tree Terrace which is one of 500 original paintings. The art exhibition is one of the largest private collections in Northern Germany.

The highest awards of all the most important international hotel and restaurant guides are the outward signs of the most impressive “savoir cuire” that assures Jacobs Restaurant a permanent place among the leading restaurants of Germany (1 Michelinstar, 18 Points at Gault Millau). Chef de cuisine Thomas Martin’s contemporary light and fresh cuisine with French accentuation, full of fantasy, refined but not over-fashionable, and the competently stocked wine-cellar, have all made the restaurant a hotspot for connoisseurs. The splendid view which Jacobs Restaurant affords through its high glass doors, across the Lime Tree Terrace to the Elbe, the lovingly restored murals, the stucco ceilings and the heavy crystal chandeliers create an extraordinary atmosphere which makes every visit to Jacobs Restaurant an experience, as well as lunch or dinner under the shining green of the famous Lime Tree Terrace. From here, the front row, high above the Elbe river, it is possible to experience the unforgettable sight of what has made Hamburg special and famous: the port, the ships and the wide river. Formal dinners in Jacobs Restaurant and small delicacies on the opposite side in the Wine Bistro “Kleines Jacob” – an homage to the founder of the hotel, the French emigrant Daniel Louis Jacques. Enjoy the cosy atmosphere with the open kitchen and its large stone oven while trying the specialities from international vineyards served at clean-scrubbed wooden tables. The wine bistro is well-known to the people of Hamburg and our hotel guests. At the same time this popular “après” meeting place is the ideal location to round off a successful day or a visit to a grand opera or theatre evening with good friends. The plush leather armchairs in Jacobs Bar tempt its guests to take a digestif, a cocktail or a glass of wine in pleasant company. The optical centre of the bar is a glass cube in which the stocks of wine are not only kept but also exhibited. Jacobs Bar is a refuge of class and tradition. Classical drinks are just as easy to find on the list as rare kinds of wine, champagne, sherry and port. A relaxing hideaway after a strenuous day.

Wellness area with sauna, solarium, whirlpool as well as biking and jogging along the Elbe river.

Whether festive occasion or business meeting, whether wedding or conference, the Louis C. Jacob offers the perfect solution for every circumstance. An intimate atmosphere for smaller gatherings in the expertly restored and historically furnished Biedermeier Room, a large ball in the festive ballroom or concentrated efficiency in one of the many banqueting rooms. Apart from perfect service and the most modern technology in communication and in particular the unforgettable view over the river ensures a relaxed conference atmosphere. A welcome rest for body and soul is something that the Louis C. Jacob Hotel can offer its guests, but not only because of its view of the river. Long walks in beautifully conserved nature parks along the banks of the Elbe or a visit to the wellness rooms of the hotel are the best ways to take an active break.
