The perfect venue for Traverse 26
Hotel Hafen Hamburg has been a fixture of the city’s skyline since 1909. Sitting directly on the Elbe with sweeping views across the harbour, it is one of Hamburg’s most iconic and distinctive hotels – and the perfect backdrop for Traverse 26.
This is not a generic conference hotel. It is a place with genuine character – a building that feels like Hamburg, in a location that puts the city on your doorstep from the moment you arrive.
- Right on the Elbe – harbour and city views from every session
- A landmark building with real character, not a blank-canvas conference centre
- Multiple spaces for main stage talks, breakout workshops and hands-on sessions
- Flexible layouts that work for 10 people or 300
- Walking distance from the heart of Hamburg
- On-site accommodation, restaurants and bar
