Festive Season 2026

MAGICAL ADVENT SEASON

As the city lights begin to glow more softly, a special tranquillity returns to the Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten. Subtle festive music, the flicker of candlelight in our historic rooms, and the warm aroma of spices and freshly baked delicacies set the tone for the most wonderful weeks of the year.

After a stroll through Hamburg’s Christmas markets, we invite you to arrive, unwind, and savour the season together. Celebrate with a festive Christmas menu in the company of family, delight the little ones at our Teddy Bear Tea with crafting stations and treats, or gather for a traditional goose dinner, featuring ethically raised Cassenshof goose—in a business setting.

Let yourself be surprised by how atmospheric the Advent season can be on the Jungfernstieg, with views of the festively decorated Inner Alster Lake.
