Colourful Wedina world
The hotel’s four colourful buildings reflect our enthusiasm for literature and as well architecture and art in a special way: the Red House with our library, the Blue House with author’s rooms, the Green House with its avantgarde architecture, the Yellow House with literature from Hamburg.
One feature they’ve all got in common: each building was individually designed with great passion.
Enjoy our legendary breakfast here in the morning, with artisanal regional produce, and selected teas specially matched with local water. You can sit either in the bright winter garden or if weather permits in the lush summer garden, our quiet oasis in the middle of the city.
In the main building our open library is growing. You’ll find more than 300 personally dedicated works of contemporary authors. Read and relax in the garden or take books up to bed for browsing at night in your uniquely decorated room. Recently renovated, no two rooms in the Red House look alike.
Yoko Tawada, Joseph Conrad and Max Frisch have all engaged with travel, departure and arrival in their works, and with gathering experiences and impressions. Thanks to those writers our Blue House has fourteen authors’ rooms to inspire travellers and globetrotters.
You’ll live in light and open spaces – urban with lots of concrete and modern, clean lines. From the entrance this building makes a statement about itself: it talks about its visitors and makes geometrical forms dance. This building has completely embraced literature – every room is its own library.
Do you know our smallest room? It is room 202, on the ground floor of our Blue House, also affectionately called "the shoe box". Dedicated to the author Hubert Fichte, it clearly belongs to the mini-mini-small category due to its floor plan.
Boxes piled on top of each other, some of which emerge like cubic bowfronts from the facade. Raw concrete, glass, timber and green granite. Specially crafted furniture. Peaceful and quiet rooms, concentration and space, always in sight of the alpine Zen garden’s green.
In the avantgarde Green House you live and sleep facing the garden, in each of the eleven rooms. Enjoy a glass of wine with tapas in the evening, on our terrace or your balcony. Surrounded by light-filled architecture.
Live clear and free, in simple spaces with a tidy nordic attitude. Our Yellow House embraces Hamburg’s literature and presents a selection of it on every wall.
Like the city, it has many faces and caters to almost every taste with ten different genres, including Low German, thriller and children’s books. Selected by Stephan Samtleben, for reading addicts. Light-filled spaces and silence will enhance your experience. Just read!
