Elysée Hamburg at the time of the year
that is at once most glamorous and contemplative
too. We have planned some
awesome highlights for you, your family

In addition to the traditional Advent and Christmas brunch
in Restaurant Le Parc, our Boulevard too has donned a
festive apparel, which makes it an ideal place to take a
break at from your daily routine, hectic life and Christmas
shopping and relish the aromatic mulled wine and delicious
Christmas cookies.
On holidays, we have decided to pamper you with a selection
of ceremonial Christmas menus in the Piazza Romana
and Brasserie Flum!
Celebrate your way into 2014 with over 1000 guests! 35
artists, performers and musicians will conjure up a great
atmosphere and ensure that you have fun, and set the
right tone for a celebration. Grand Elysee Hamburg, with
all its diversity, is transforming for the “big night”.
To make the first day of the new year as relaxed and restful
as possible, we are happy to offer several New Year’s
Eve arrangements with overnight accommodations.
The entire team at Grand Elysee Hamburg looks forward

The big night
Anima Planet
throughout the hotel
The Anima studio has compiled a collection of fascinating
characters and fantastic mythical figures, who give successful
small-time acting performances in varied combinations
across Europe. Three of these special characters
will enchant you too!
Pajagio – the imaginative pep pill – is
an amusing contemporary. With his jokes
and pranks and with his vivacity, he
charms his way into the heart of his audience.
He, juggles, balances, rotates,
mimics and improvises with light-handed
dexterity.
Calero – the Mediterranean charmer –
whose dictionary does not contain the
word ‘sorrow”. He ensnares the audience
with charm and wit, makes them
laugh, encourages them to participate
in his act and gives them some food for
thought. Beware of Calero: you will
hardly be able to resist his Mediterranean
charm.
Calimero – the musical compère – lives
in the world of musical notes. As an accordionist,
he accompanies his juggler
colleagues and makes your world
swing. Music is his language. Calimero
enchants the public with small performances
and is not easy to forget.

Jan-Rasmus Lippels and Janine

Casino
in the Grand Foyer
New year, new luck? Why don’t you simply try it out! Roulette
and a Black Jack table have been laid out for you to
try your luck. Do you want
your fate to be decided by
a ball or would you rather
go with the cards? The

our gift to you. And if lady
luck smiles on you, you
