SiR Nikolai Hamburg, The Hotel Conquering the North of Germany

Right in the heart of the city, the SiR Hotels opened SiR Nikolai Hamburg, located at the historic Nikolaifleet canal. Like all other 4 SiRs, this hotel aims to be much more than a ‘where to stay’ option, as it is involved with the city’s history, culture and personality. It aims to be an experience of Hamburg through its architecture, interior design, restaurant, bar and library.

The first SiR Hotel was founded in 2013 in Amsterdam by Liran Wizman. Within four years, the SiRs are already five, between two in Amsterdam, SiR Albert and SiR Adam, one in Berlin, SiR Savigny, one in Ibiza, SiR Joan and the most recent SiR Nikolai in Hamburg. This a chain of boutique hotels that allows the visitors the true experience of each city and is managed by EHPC, the award-winning management company European Hotels Private Collection.

SiR Nikolai stands on a seven-storey building with 94 rooms and the best facilities for the guests: from The Studio, a lounge to check-in, The Patio, a glass-roofed courtyard that invites people to the IZAKAYA Asian Kitchen & Bar and then to the open kitchen of the restaurant and the 360-bar with two balconies that float over the canal. Besides all this, it also has a 300sqm spa, which includes a gym, an indoor pool, a sauna and various other treatment rooms for the guest to relax and enjoy.

All the spaces of the hotel were thought out and designed by the Dutch design studio FG Stijl that collaborated with Circle Culture, a platform that features international artwork, activism and culture projects. The project is also associated with GCH Hotel Group, one of the top hotel management companies in Europe. With more than 120 hotels in Germany, Austria and Belgium, the group manages over 15 500 rooms and over three million guests annually.

GET THE LOOK – MALAY ARMCHAIR

SiR Nikolai offers wide, open and highly sophisticated spaces, from the corridor to the common areas and all the way to each one of the 94 rooms. This luxurious hotel features high-end furniture pieces such as the MALAY and the SIKA Armchairs from BRABBU, the Collins from Essential Home or the extraordinary Turner Floor from DelightFULL.

The MALAY Armchair was brought to life through the different ethnicities of the world. It is a graceful green velvet armchair with a mystical soul that will fulfil any room with energy from nature. It is a strong piece that speaks in the amazing suite where is placed.

GET THE LOOK – SIKA ARMCHAIR

The SIKA Armchair is a blend of strength and elegance inspired by a deer specimen rooted in Japan. The most distinctive features of SIKA wingback chair are its wildness and protection features, which make you feel comfortable and sophisticated. It goes spectacular in SiR Nikolais common area, and it serves as an invitation for a nice and pleasant get together while enjoying the entire design of the space and hotel itself.

The timeless furniture pieces embrace the spirit of the hotel and add personality, filling each room with a different feeling of modernity and culture. It is the entire combination of concepts high-quality handmade design products, placed in such a historical city, that make SiR Nikolai the incredible monument that it is.

SiR Nikolai, as are the other SiRs, is a celebration of life and what exists to make it better. The professionalism and greatness of the minds behind the creation are notable and admirable. The design team perceives itself as passionate about the art:

“Designed for people – perhaps an obvious sentiment, but one that is often forgotten in an era when design saturates day-to-day life. For FG Stijl Interior Design, designing for people was a seedling idea from which sprung countless three-dimensional experiences, and now, more than a decade on, it is the expression of our interior design company’s DNA”.

Both philosophies of the team and the concept of the hotel are in consonance to provide the best and trustworthy experience of each individual place and city to each one of the guests. The experience provided by SiR Nikolai’s design is absolutely incredible and the proof is its nominations for the Interior Design of the Year: International project award within the CID Awards 2017 by DesignMENA and the AHEAD Europe Awards by Sleeper Magazine for URBAN HOTEL-CONVERSION.
