Wow, where else can you experience something like this? Open your eyes and look at a mega container ship passing in front of the window. The Louis C. Jacob is located on the high bank of the Elbe.

So let's start by saying: If you want to watch the pots, book with a view of the Elbe. The historic ensemble is made up of various listed buildings. Facing the river is the main building with its fine dining, while on the other side of the street is the garden wing with a small but fine wellness area and the quaint and cozy Kleines Jacob wine bar.
I indulge in high tea in the living room. In my eye is the famous Lindenterrasse, which will be my favorite spot again as soon as the temperatures allow. Max Liebermann immortalized it in a painting in 1902. Art is very important at the Jacob. There are around 500 paintings, drawings and photographs to admire. The hotel radiates a cozy, Hanseatic atmosphere that is a pleasure to linger in. Be it in the lounge or in the generously proportioned rooms. The stylish furnishings are sometimes historic under high ceilings, sometimes classically modern or sometimes a little playful. Some suites extend over two floors, others overlook the garden and have a terrace.
Until now, the Jacob Restaurant , crowned with two Michelin stars, has been a culinary temptation for Hamburgers and city guests to make a pilgrimage to Blankenese. Due to the current situation, it is taking a break. Breakfast is now served in the beautiful premises. I currently have to make my selection the evening before. It doesn't matter, because I can get what I want on the table as soon as I sit down. If the urge to move then arises, I head down to the Elbuferweg. It runs past Blankenese to behind the Falkenstein nature reserve. Alternatively, you can hop on a bike. A fleet of the hotel's own e-bikes is available. From spring onwards, there will again be sociable e-bike tours in small groups (led by me) to the Nabu Swarovski bird station.
