Inside Hamburg’s Newest Luxury Hotel: The Conrad Hamburg Story

This week, The Sunday Show with Ed Finn comes from Hamburg — a city of waterways, music, culture and plenty of surprises.

Hamburg has long been known as the gateway to the world — a great maritime city where centuries of seafaring heritage meet a vibrant, modern and wonderfully cosmopolitan spirit. The Conrad Hamburg, built in 1912, is nestled within a historic landmark, the Levantehaus building and is a short walk to nearby landmarks such as Hamburg City Hall, Jungfernstieg, Neuer Wall, Alster Lake, and the famous Hafencity with its iconic Elbphilharmonie.

Ed meets Gordon A. Debus, General Manager of the fabulous Conrad Hamburg, winner of the prestigious Best Opening Germany 2026 award, and Guido Neumann, Head of Media Relations at Hamburg Tourism, who shares some of the secrets of this remarkable city. From its legendary Beatles connections and magnificent harbour to the Elbphilharmonie, beautiful lakes, green spaces and vibrant neighbourhoods, discover why Hamburg is one of Germany’s great city breaks.
