A few years ago Superbude, a completely new hotel concept, was born in Hamburg‘s St. Georg district. It has now been revealed that it was a twin birth which was kept secret up until now by the mothers of design at 3meta! For good reason too, since they fi rst sent the cult hostel’s rocking sister on an inspiring world tour and it is only now,that she has fi nally returned to Hamburg. We introduce the Superbude St Pauli, located in Hamburg’s distinct ‘Schanze’ neighbourhood.

We introduce the Superbude St Pauli, located in Hamburg’s distinct ‘Schanze’ neighbourhood.
Rock meets world music
On the way to your room, Superbude shows you what a rock-pipe could look like: over a length of 50m, the reception, lounge and ‘Kitchen Club’ follow each other, featuring all the ideas Superbude stocked up during its world tour. The shelves, right behind the
entry door, will delight the profi cient drinker! Unmistakeably – those are bottle-tops, whispering a multiple Oooooo! at you. These rectangular bottles originally contain fresh water and have been specially developed to be sent into crisis regions worldwide.
After being emptied they are bound together and used as building material for solid hut walls – at Superbude they are recycled to bear groovy merchandise, local news and entertainment suggestions for Hamburg’s amusement districts.
Bedtime stories wall paper – sweet dreams, Quiddje!
The fact that there’s no common thread at the new Superbude is entirely due to it being replaced by a thick rope, used as an ornament throughout the whole hotel, spelling out the word “Quiddje” in the lounge area (the endearing nickname Hamburgers use to refer to the rest of mankind). If this is your fi rst time here, it‘s better to book an extra day or two, as the hotel alone o. ers too many things that need to be discovered. In each of the 89 rooms you run the risk of getting hitched to the wall, covered with texts and articles which were especially written for Superbude by bloggers, authors and journalists from various countries.
