Refined brand experience for a grand hotel icon

Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten Hamburg

Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten is one of Europe’s most iconic grand hotels, known for its timeless elegance, culinary excellence, and exceptional service on the shores of Hamburg’s Inner Alster Lake. For this hospitality landmark, we developed a cross-media brand experience that captures the distinct character of the hotel. Web design, restaurant one-pagers, photography, video production, and premium print materials were all created to reflect the hotel’s understated luxury and enduring presence.

Brand identity and imagery in harmony

Working within an existing brand universe takes precision. We apply HVJ’s brand guidelines with great care, from color and typography to layout and tone of voice. Every detail is crafted to feel consistent and unmistakably on-brand. The imagery follows the same clarity, remaining authentic, composed, and calm.

Printed brand moments with character

The design of the printed materials reflects the brand philosophy of Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten: elegance, tradition, and precision. Every detail, from paper choice to typography, was thoughtfully aligned with the brand experience to make the hotel’s values tangible in the physical world.

Translating interior into experience

To make the unique suites of Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten more tangible, we created custom floor plans and room illustrations. They offer a clear sense of layout, reflect the hotel’s elegance, and are featured across various media, including the suite brochure.

Tradition with typography

We designed a series of refined print pieces for Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten, from brochures to brand-driven advertisements. Each element reflects the hotel’s visual identity: classic typography, a subtle color palette, and the signature justified layout. The result is printed communication with character and timeless elegance.

A brand to take home

For products available at the hotel, such as refined bottled juices, we designed labels that align seamlessly with the hotel’s visual identity.

Digital elegance with heritage

The website for Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten was created through a design process that translates the classical identity of this luxury hotel into a calm, contemporary digital language. Layout, typography, and structure reflect the brand’s values and carry them forward online. The result is a bridge between historic hospitality and modern user expectations: clear, refined, and thoughtfully executed.

Elegance in every season

Each season is accompanied by dedicated campaign pages and atmospheric video content. Consistent in style and detail, these landing pages bring seasonal highlights to life while staying true to the hotel’s visual identity.
