"A spectacular copperclad towerblock that rose over a former brewery (much to locals’ chagrin) in 2008, this is all about the astonishing views over the port available from its rooms."

"The location near the Reeperbahn and the harbor, the clever use of space and light, and a cool bar that attracts thousands every weekend make the Empire a favorite."
