Chippo opens big braun Hamburg Hotel

David Chipperfield Architects' Empire Riverside Hotel in Hamburg opened today.

Appointed back in 2002, Chipperfield has provided the lucky Hamburgers with a hotel complex that includes a 20-storey tower, an L-shaped building at the base of the tower, and the Brauhaus – a retail and office building.

 

Located on the former Bavaria brewery site, the 74m-tall tower has 328 rooms and includes a hotel bar at the top, which offers panoramic views over the River Elbe and the rest of Hamburg.
