Hotel Description - The Louis C. Jacob Hotel Hamburg

A veritable Hamburg institution, the Hotel Louis C. Jacob is in Nienstedten, one of the most charming and elegant areas of Hamburg's Elbchaussee. Its history began in 1791, when French horticulturist Daniel Louis Jacob established the site as a wine restaurant. For five generations since, the Hotel's Jacobs Restaurant has been recognized as one of the premier restaurants and wine cellars in Germany. The Jacobs was recently named Best Restaurant in Hamburg, with chef Thomas Martin winning the prized "Chef of the Year 2002" award. Both the Hotel Louis C. Jacob and its restaurants boast endless credentials - they have received kudos from such respected organizations as Gault Millau, the Wine Spectator, and the Guide Michelin, and the hotel was recently granted the prestigious distinction of being a "Leading Small Hotel of the World."
Fully renovated in the 1990s, the Hotel Louis C. Jacob has been modernized without sacrificing any of its characteristic charm. The hotel features one of the largest private art collections in the north of Germany. It has carefully restored the "Liebermann" Room, where the famous German impressionist once lived and painted. The Hotel's Jacobs restaurant offers a breathtaking view over the River Elbe, and diners will be enchanted by its sumptuous dÈcor, surrounded by carefully restored murals, stucco ceilings and heavy crystal chandeliers.
The hotel's rooms are meticulously appointed with all modern amenities. All rooms have polished oak floorboards and hand-woven carpets, walk-in closets, and gorgeous marble and granite en-suite baths. Business travelers will be pleased to find a spacious desk equipped with fax and Internet connections, as well as standard amenities such as direct-dial telephone, cable television, and air conditioning. Guests can enjoy a workout in the Louis C. Jacob's state-of-the- art fitness facility, or take a long walk alongside the River Elbe. The Hotel Louis C. Jacob offers guests a once-in-a- lifetime experience combining history, high culture, fine dining and magnificent surroundings, and is convenient to Hamburg's finest shopping, sightseeing, and entertainment venues.
