The first opened in Hamburg’s Altona district in 2003, with a retro sixties-and-seventies look; the collection has since grown beyond German-speaking Europe and now belongs to Ennismore.

History

Kai Hollmann wanted a hotel with a personality of its own after years of running conventional hotels for other people. That ambition gave 25hours its individually imagined interiors and theatrical concepts. The name suggests a day with an hour to spare, a fitting invitation for a collection that encourages guests to settle into the neighborhood.
