From 1970 to 1973 the building was built by the then owner and client Neue Heimat , which belonged to the German Trade Union Federation (DGB), for the United Hotel Holding GmbH according to plans by the architects Jost Schramm and Gert Pempelfort . When it opened, it was named Hotel Loew's Hamburg Plaza . Subsequently, it traded as CP Hotels Hamburg Plaza . After the acquisition in November 1988 by the SAS Group , the name was then changed to SAS Hamburg Plaza , later to Radisson SAS . The current operator of the hotel , which was renamed Radisson Blu in 2009, is the Rezidor Hotel Group , the owner of the area is Azure Property Ltd. based in London. In November 2009 Invesco Ltd. , One in Hamilton on Bermuda registered investment company headquartered in Atlanta , Georgia , the hotel property for 155 million euros.

renovation
A thorough renovation took place from October 2008 until the reopening on September 24, 2009. A new natural stone facade was installed, which, however, should change the overall impression of the hotel little because of the preservation order. From 2008 to 2010, Wolfgang Wagner was in charge of the project management of the overall renovation, who was Vice President Technical Development for Rezidor especially from the owner company AZURE London was requested. Inside, the Swedish architect Christian Lundwall redesigned all public areas and the rooms. Among other things, he used furniture from the chain's first hotel, the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen , which opened in 1960 . The " Ei " armchairs by Arne Jacobsen are in one of the two lobbies . Works by Le Corbusier and Walter Knoll were also used. The former indoor swimming pool has been converted into a fitness and wellness area, the Vierländer Stuben restaurant into a conference and event area and the bar on the 27th floor into an area for receptions. For this purpose, new catering areas were created elsewhere. Only the now closed Polynesian restaurant Trader Vic’s remained during the renovation, which cost 54 million euros.
