Stadthaushotel Hamburg Altona, hotel in Hamburg, Germany
Stadthaushotel Hamburg Altona is a hotel located at the corner of Holstenstraße and Max-Brauer-Allee in the Altona neighborhood. The building has a simple and functional look with a welcoming entrance where guests can check in and receive assistance.
The hotel opened in 1993 as Europe's first of its kind: a place where people with and without disabilities work together. It grew from an organization founded in 1987 by parents of children with disabilities who wanted to create work opportunities for everyone.
The neighborhood's name Altona reflects its Danish past, visible in how streets are arranged and how people use local shops and markets. Visitors walk through a place where everyday community life continues much as it has for generations, mixing residents and travelers naturally.
The hotel has a total of 13 rooms, with some specially designed for wheelchair users and all set up to be allergy-friendly for guests who need this. Staff can help you purchase tickets for shows, musicals, and events happening around Hamburg.
This was the first hotel of its kind in Europe and became a model for over 30 other hotels in Germany that adopted similar working practices. This expansion shows how one business idea can spark a larger social movement and prove inclusion works in everyday operations.
