The appointment of 52-year-old Esposito also sees more than simply an acknowledged hotel expert taking on the major challenges of the traditional Hamburg hotel. “In addition to professional expertise a strong emotional connection to the Atlantic was of paramount importance to us,” stated Stefan Massa, co-director of the Atlantic Hotel’s operating company. “And with Franco Esposito we certainly have that.”
This factor was also underlined by the new hotel boss himself: “As a native of Hamburg, it is a privilege to be a part of the Atlantic’s history and now its future. It was here with my apprenticeship that my career began and I am now being offered the chance to share my experience. I’m looking forward immensely to the special challenge ahead.”

The five-star-superior hotel offers 221 elegant rooms, 33 of which are suites, with unmistakeable regional charm of the highest standard.
