Location
Sonnendeck St. Pauli
The Beach Club Sonnendeck St. Pauli is the perfect venue for THE BLUE BEACH. Situated directly at Hamburg’s Landungsbrücken, with a view of the Elbe, the Elbphilharmonie and the wind turbines of the city of Hamburg, the right networking atmosphere is created as soon as you enter.
Hamburg’s first outdoor address has a capacity of up to 800 guests on 980 m2. The furnishings were designed with sustainability in mind – “second use” is the main focus here, without sacrificing an elegant and stylish ambience. Solar modules on the roof of the newly designed beach club convert Hamburg’s sun into energy. Large umbrellas preserve the unique view and the special atmosphere in case of typical Hamburg weather.
