The Fontenay Hamburg (March 2018)

The Fontenay Hamburg is a luxury hotel in Hamburg, Germany, to be opened in March 2018. The hotel is part of the consortium The Leading Hotels of the World.[1]

Hotel[edit]

Builder and owner is Klaus-Michael Kühne.[2] The building is located in Hamburg-Rotherbaum on the road Fontenay on the Außenalster and offers 131 guest rooms and suites, some with Alster view. The organic architecture was designed by the architect Jan Störmer. The foyer, the Atrium Lounge, has a room height of 27 meters.[3]

History[edit]

The hotel is named after the shipbroker John Fontenay, who acquired a large piece of land between Mittelweg and Aussenalster in 1816, through which today the street Fontenay runs.[4] The building stands on the site of the former Hotel InterContinental, also called InterConti.[5][6] It had to close in February 2013 due to bankruptcy. In March 2013 it was announced that Klaus-Michael Kühne had acquired the hotel for around 20 million euros, who demolished it in February 2014.[7][8][9]

The cornerstone ceremony for The Fontenay Hamburg took place on 14th August 2014.[10] Originally the hotel opening was planned for the summer of 2016. In November 2015, the topping-out ceremony was celebrated and announced that there were delays.[11] Due to a water damage in the summer of 2017[12], the appointment was again postponed several times. The Fontenay will now be officially opened on 19 March 2018.[13][14][15]
