Discover the secrets of St. Pauli

The ARCOTEL Onyx is situated on the Reeperbahn at the heart of Hamburg’s famous entertainment district St. Pauli and we like to think that this unique location is reflected in the character of the hotel. The key to understanding it is to get out and explore the fascinating area in which it is located.

To celebrate 25 years of ARCOTEL Hotels we invited guests to join us for an extraordinary tour of Hamburg’s most famous quarter.

And what better starting-point for any tour of the ‘Kiez’ (the local name for this district) than our Kiez room! Directly overlooking the Reeperbahn it gives a real ‘feel’ for the character of this part of Hamburg and is furnished in suitably exotic style, with a purple designer sofa, a headboard in the shape of a pair of lips and a pole-dancing pole! The room also features a glass cabinet containing original exhibits from the St. Pauli Museum, carefully chosen to give a flavour of life in the ‘Kiez’ and how it has changed over the years.

Just a few minutes’ walk from the ARCOTEL Onyx, and directly opposite the Davidwache police station, is the Casino Reeperbahn. Visitors to the authentically-styled casino suite can learn all about the fascinating world of poker and even get to try out their skills (with guidance, of course) in a friendly tournament. Don’t forget these tips from the professionals – always keep your opponent guessing, brush up on that probability theory… and don’t forget the dark glasses!

The next stop on our tour is the St. Pauli Museum in Davidstrasse. A walk around this collection of unique exhibits gives a real insight into the eventful history of the St. Pauli district from medieval times right up to the present day. Find out what the origins of this ‘naughty’ part of town have to do with, of all things, a monastery, why Herbertstrasse has gates to keep out prying eyes and why Nutella is much more than just something you spread on your bread! And when you have had enough history for the day, there is always table football to keep you amused or maybe a drink and some live music in the museum’s trendy bar.

Those on the lookout for a good place to eat will find the ideal spot just a few yards away - the Schatto Pauli theatre restaurant. Whether you are off to the theatre or sampling the city’s nightspots, a tourist or a local - at Schatto Pauli every guest is king! What better way to get your evening started than to sit at a long table with friends old and new and soak up the charming, rustic atmosphere of this wonderful eatery? The house speciality, the legendary “Original Wiener Schnitzel”, is definitely a treat too good to miss. And with the Schmidts TIVOLI theatre literally just the other side of the wall, the Schatto Pauli could not be more convenient for theatregoers.

Our tour takes us finally next door to the famous Schmidts TIVOLI theatre and its long-running hit musical “Heisse Ecke”, set in St. Pauli. Since it opened back in 2003, this ever-popular Kiez classic has entertained over 1.5 million people, making it the most successful German-language musical production to date. The cast of nine actors and actresses take on over 50 different roles in a fast-paced show based on different stories played out over a period of 24 hours at the local “Heisse Ecke” snack-bar. With music from a superb live orchestra this really is an exciting production, which offers us a glimpse of the craziness of day-to-day life on the Reeperbahn.

As things start to really get going in the many bars and clubs clustered along the Reeperbahn, so our tour of Hamburg’s ‘saucy’ side ends, appropriately enough, with a currywurst and a bottle of Astra beer at the “Heisse Ecke” snack bar across the road from the theatre.

Like the sound of this amazing tour? Then join us at the ARCOTEL Onyx on the Reeperbahn!

Höhenrausch.3 The Art of Towers 14th of June to 13th of october

The central feature of HÖHENRAUSCH.3 is the redesign of the rooftop pathway: the path across the roofs is expanded by a vertical axis. Towers add architectural accents to the bridges. The main Attraction and landmark of HÖHENRAUSCH.3 is the 30-meter-high "Upper Austria Observation Tower" made of fir wood, erected over the elevator shaft of the parking garage.
Two 30-meter-high, modern "Energy Towers" are set up in the OK Square. A manipulation of the steel skeleton gives them a sculptural quality. The useful towers are turned into a "playing piece", and the covered set-up area is turned into a place for visitors to linger.

These were just two of many worth seeing highlights of the summer in linz. Certainly it has much more to offer and discover! 
Annyhow we wish you  a lot of fun experiencing linz and if you're looking for the perfect accommodation we would be very pleased to welcome you in the ARCOTEL Nike Linz!
