Venue

 

The location of the Global Demand Conference will be the East Hotel in Hamburg, Germany. This uniquely designed hotel is located in the heart of Hamburg's most vibrant district, St. Pauli, just behind the world-famous Reeperbahn and a short walk from the harbour.

The venue has several meeting rooms and a large conference-area, fit to cater for a large amount of people. These facilities are equipped with the newest techniques and form a great environment for any conference or meeting.

The heart of the building is a soaring 35 foot tall atrium with huge columns, sculpted plaster walls, exposed original brick, and floor to ceiling velvet curtains.
A staircase leads down to the 250 seat Asian-fusion restaurant with 28 feet tall glass doors that open to the leafy courtyard, Dedon Island, an extension to the restaurant during the summer.
The atmosphere is both intimate and open with different areas in the restaurant separated by exposed original brick arches.

On the top floor you can treat yourself to a few hours of relaxation on the roof terrace, in the sauna, especially designed for the east by Jordan Mozer, or in the wellness area which has a full agenda of treatments.
The hotel offers rooms, suites and lofts of various size, comfort and style. Twelve rooms are in the old building while the remaining are located in two new buildings, linked by an atrium.

The area is just a short distance to the center of Hamburg and even closer to the exciting new HafenCity development.
