Houseboat summary
This renovated harbor crane is a maritime hideaway in the heart of Hafencity Hamburg, directly across the Elbphilharmonie. Spend the night in the room where the crane-operator steered the grip or „Greif“ of the crane to lift heavy loads around for more than 70 years.
Not only can you spend the night in this unique accommodation, but you can also admire the most extraordinary art in Harry's Hamburger Hafenbasar. Harry Rosenberg, the captain with the white beard, has collected the most wonderful items from all over the world and brought them to the harbor crane. During opening hours guest of the hideaway can visit the collection.
Enjoy a glass of wine after a long day in the city and take in the extraordinary view. There is no doubt, this is a magical experience.
Houseboat description
It is not a 5-star hotel, there is no lobby or liftboy, but you will not lack anything.
The Hafencity Hideaway is fully equipped with a mini bar, luxury Shuj silk bedding and a lovely king size bed. A special feature of the accommodation is our shower with a fireplace (world's first). Something else that makes the Hafenkran hideaway unique is the view of the Elbphilharmonie, Hamburg's infamous concert hall located on the shore of the river Elbe.
The Harbor Crane does not need a kitchen, because a kind soul will bring you a breakfast basket to your doorstep every morning during your stay. Enjoy your breakfast on your private terrace or snuggled up in bed.

Hi, we are Tim and Marc, the founders of Floatel. We have many years of experience with lighthouses and in 2018 we opened our first hideaway in a swimming Habour Crane in the habour of Hamburg.
It is our passion to find the most beautiful and unique places to stay and turn them into accommodations that make the guest feel special and let them enjoy intensely. We always try to keep the history and the character of the buildings, so that the guests can experience the life of a lighthouse keeper or a crane conductor.
Actually, what we do is difficult to describe. Experience it and you will understand much better.
Tim and Marc
