Fontenay Bar, Rooftop terrace bar in Hamburg, Germany.
Fontenay Bar is a rooftop lounge on the sixth floor of The Fontenay hotel, featuring a 500-square-meter outdoor terrace with panoramic views of Hamburg's skyline and the Alster lake. Floor-to-ceiling windows provide 320-degree sightlines across the city and waterfront.
The location sits on the grounds of the former Hotel InterContinental in Hamburg's Rotherbaum district, an area rooted in the city's maritime trading heritage of the early 1800s. The newer structure replaced the older hotel complex while maintaining the site's prominence as a central destination.
The bar is known for its creative vermouth variations, prepared using the 'Wormwood Wagon' technique where herbs, fruit brandies, and alternative ingredients are mixed with crushed ice and aerated with a matcha whisk.
The bar is open Monday through Thursday and Sunday from 15:00 to midnight, Friday and Saturday until 01:00. Reservations are not accepted, though you can call ahead to inquire about seating availability.
The hotel building deliberately avoids right angles between walls, instead creating alternating concave and convex ceramic surfaces that curve throughout the structure. Inside rises a 27-meter-high central atrium lined with 198 shimmering satin glass panels.
