Hilton has opened the iconic Reichshof Hamburg under its growing Curio brand, and has plans to open a spa and fitness centre at the hotel in the coming months.

The 278-bedroom Reichshof, built in 1910, is located in central Hamburg opposite the Central Railway Station, and combines Hanseatic Art-Deco elegance with contemporary design.

“The hotel’s 20th century charm was meticulously preserved during the hotel’s extensive renovation by leading artisans,” said Folke Sievers, general manager of the Reichshof Hamburg.

Operated by Event Hotelgruppe, the Reichshof Hamburg is Curio’s first hotel in Europe.

“The uniqueness and special character of Reichshof Hamburg is a great example of what we seek when hand-picking respected and distinguished hotels for our Curio collection,” said Dianna Vaughan, global head of Curio.
