Rooms with Elbe views
The Elsa Brändström Haus offers 27 guestrooms, including three premium rooms with accessible bathrooms. Rooms feature free Wi-Fi, TVs, telephones, minibars, and coffeemakers. Some rooms overlook the Elbe River. The neighboring guesthouse, 'Die kleine Elsa,' has 24 balcony rooms, some with river views.
Breakfast with homemade treats
Daily breakfast includes fresh brioches with homemade jam, individually prepared egg dishes, and honey from the hotel's own beehives. Early Bird breakfast boxes are available for guests departing before 7:30 AM. Coffee breaks feature homemade granola ('Elsas Krümel'), fresh fruits, and small snacks.
Team activities & outdoor training
Erlebnis & Training organizes raft building, soapbox car races, archery, ropes courses, tower building, and marble runs. Guests can rent bicycles for exploring Blankenese. The rooftop terrace offers sunset drinks with Elbe River views.
Near Blankenese stair district
Located in Hamburg's Blankenese neighborhood, the hotel is close to Treppenviertel Blankenese (2 km), Hirschgarten park (1.5 km), and Jenisch Haus museum (5.5 km). The Elbe beach and scenic river walks are nearby.
Seminar & event services
The hotel hosts conferences and team-building events with outdoor sessions and meditation workshops. Private events like weddings are possible but limited due to noise restrictions. The kitchen prepares customized menus, including Moroccan tajine dishes.
“Gaestehaus Des Elsa Braendstroem Haus offers a retreat just outside Hamburg, where the quiet of the forest meets views of the Elbe. I think it's particularly well-suited for those arriving by car and seeking higher standards; the rooms include nice balconies and amenities. The self-service model might not suit everyone, but it's a worthy trade for such a serene location.”
