The Property — Haus Pacific
Haus Pacific is a no-frills, family-run hotel in Cuxhaven's historic centre, its 19th-century façade a nod to the city's maritime past. Inside, it's a cozy retreat with 30 rooms, each with a nautical theme and modern comforts like flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi. The hotel's USP lies in its prime location near the harbour and the iconic Cuxhavener Leuchtturm lighthouse. It suits families, solo travellers, and couples seeking a convenient base for exploring the town.
Chronicles of Cuxhaven
Cuxhaven has a rich history dating back to the 13th century, when it was a small fishing village. The town's strategic location on the Elbe estuary made it an important trading hub during the Hanseatic League era. In the 19th century, Cuxhaven became a major port and naval base, with the iconic lighthouse, Cuxhavener Leuchtturm, built in 1875 to guide ships safely into the harbour. Today, Cuxhaven is a charming seaside resort with a strong maritime heritage, its cultural identity shaped by its fishing and naval traditions.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Haus Pacific, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
For a quieter stay, request rooms on the higher floors (4th floor and above) at Haus Pacific. These rooms are likely to be further away from the Cuxhavener Strasse, which can be busy with traffic and pedestrians. The hotel's data doesn't mention a lift, so it's likely a smaller lift, which might be less frequent and less noisy. However, the floors are concrete, which can contribute to a noisier stay. Still, the higher floors should offer a better balance between quietness and convenience.

Rooms facing the Cuxhavener Strasse or on lower floors (1st-3rd) might be noisier due to street traffic and potential lift usage. The exact rooms to avoid aren't specified, but these factors should be considered when making a request.
