The Reeperbahn in Hamburg

St. Joseph Hotel next to the Reeperbahn

Right in the heart of Hamburg - St. Pauli district on the street "Große Freiheit" - probably the most famous side street of the Reeperbahn!

To ensure our guests feel comfortable, we have invested considerable time and money in modernization, renovation, remodeling, and furnishing. It wasn't always easy, but our efforts have paid off! In January 2010, the German Hotel and Restaurant Association (DEHOGA) classified our St. Joseph Hotel Hamburg, located in the St. Pauli district next to the Reeperbahn, as a 3-star hotel. Every day, we dedicate all our experience, knowledge, and energy to making our guests' stay as pleasant as possible.

The Reeperbahn is the main street in the entertainment and red-light district of Hamburg's St. Pauli borough. It is approximately 930 meters long and runs west from Millerntor to Nobistor (Hamburg-Altona), where it becomes Königstraße. Its large number of discos, bars, and nightclubs has earned it the nickname "the most sinful mile in the world."
