“Empire Riverside Hotel stands out with its modern architectural flair and prime St. Pauli location. I'm particularly drawn to the rooftop bar, Skyline Bar 20up, promising some of the best panoramic views in Hamburg. The combination of Nordic cuisine at waterkant and easy access to Reeperbahn make it a compelling choice.”
