Gastwerk Hotel in Hamburg is built in a former municipal gasworks building, and its name alludes to both the previous and present function of the property. The imposing industrial shell from 1896 is now integrated within a modern hotel with a loft-style ambience.

North German cool is embodied here with quiet places to read, write and relax in. Oversized chairs, light natural colors and soothing textures soften the rough industrial structure, giving its once purely functional form new life. After reconstructions in 2002 and 2006 Gastwerk Hotel has extended its capacity with new business rooms and Penthouse Suites. The "new" rooms are designed with the finest walnut wood trimmings, warm lighting, high casement windows and exposed cement walls, in contrast to the "old" rooms with conserved original brick walls and windows.

Natural light has been flooded in to give the hotel energy and vibrancy. Gastwerk Hotel has transformed an industrial monument into a new creative center. A source of renewable energy for years to come.
