Location

On the Elbchaussee - where Hamburg is purely Hanseatic - that’s the address of the Louis C. Jacob. This magnificent mile of the Elbe capital Hamburg, framed on both sides by glorious, classic Patrician villas and simply breathtaking estates, can easily and justifiably be described as the world’s longest and finest hotel driveway. The road links the city with Hamburg’s most desirable residential area as it follows the course of the river Elbe.

This fascinating river is one of the most important international waterways, continuously frequented by the worlds largest container ships,as well as luxury liners such as the Queen Mary 2, the MS Europa or the MS Deutschland. High above the Elbe, you can cast your eye over the passing ships from a prime position  and from there to the impressive terrain of the German Airbus. Sometimes one may even observe an A380, currently the worlds largest passenger plane.
