The elegant O.V.A.L. Bar is the centerpiece of the 5-star Fraser Suites Hotel at Rödingsmarkt. In the Hamburg institution of the imposing Oberfinanzdirektion, the 1920s Great Gatsby times come alive when you enter the former cash hall and take you away to an evening in style, as you know it from famous New York bars.

The listed showcases contain one of the most extensive selections of spirits in Hamburg bars.

From the four eponymous letters O.V.A.L., the well-known bar manager Carolin Thompson develops cocktails here depending on the occasion of the evening and the mood of the guests - from her ORIGINALS classics with a modern twist, the VIBRANTS, which reflect the exciting bar atmosphere at the blue hour, the ARTISTS with cinematic presentations to the final LUSCIUOS cocktails, which accompany the transition into a sprawling lustful evening.

Wine lovers will also find what they are looking for in the large wine list of the attached DINING RooM restaurant, and with the rotary evaporator located in the bar, guests can also bottle their own individually flavored gins and vodkas to take home.

The hotel bar also invites guests to enjoy champagne during the day while shopping or lunch with the exciting menu of the Dining RooM restaurant. In the afternoon, the FRASER`s TEA PARTY with homemade fine patisserie from the British chef and exclusive leaf teas from the renowned tea house TWG from Singapore enjoys great popularity upon advance reservation.

In addition, the bar team offers cocktail training, gin, rum, and whisky tastings and workshops with the only rotary evaporator in Hamburg to celebrate private or business occasions at any time. For tourists, a look in the showcases is also worthwhile as a souvenir or gift, where the stylish interior furnishings of the bar can also be purchased.
