Corporate operated chain supply as of 01/01/2017 (rooms)
Leisure travellers come to Hamburg to enjoy its unique heritage, such as its many canals and rich cultural offer. Business tourism remains strong: the city is home to an airport terminal where many airlines from Asia land, and is a major seaport (1st in Germany, 3rd in Europe) and a railway, river and highway hub for Northern Europe.
Many companies have offices in the city state, particularly in the building and heavy industries (Airbus, Blohm+Voss, etc.), as well as publishing and media (Axel Springer AG, Bauer Media Group, Gruner+Jahr, Der Spiegel, Die Zeit…). In 2017, the city will launch the “Elbphilharmonie Hamburg”, a 120,000 m² project with 3 concert rooms. Meanwhile, the city’s Congress Center will close its doors due to planned refurbishment works; it will reopen in 2019.
As of January 1, 2017 corporate chain supply reached 18,658 rooms.
