Port des Lumières hosts gala dinners, product launches, company events and receptions for up to 800 standing guests or 450 seated. The venue is Hamburg's permanent centre for immersive digital art, opened by Culturespaces in April 2025 in the Überseequartier of HafenCity, a few steps from the harbour. Guests stand inside the projections, which cover the walls and the floor.
Seminars and company events
The main hall works for conferences, product presentations and gala dinners, with projections across every wall and the floor and ceilings up to 12 m high. Companies can show their own content: the venue offers projection options for brand staging and product launches, and it cites a product launch for Vorwerk among past events. Four formats are marketed: reception, gala dinner, company event and product presentation. A raised platform called the Schiffsbug can hold a smaller group within the same evening, and the Infinity Room and the Selfie Room add interactive moments for brand activations. A dedicated events team prepares each proposal.
Rooms and capacities
The venue covers 1,700 m², with more than 3,200 m² of projection surface across walls and floor. The Halle, the main hall, seats 30 to 450 guests for dinner and takes up to 800 for a reception. The Schiffsbug, or ship's bow, is an elevated platform reached by stairs or a step-free lift, for up to 100 at a reception or 50 at a seated dinner, and it can turn into a dance floor later in the evening. The Infinity Room is round and lined with mirrors that multiply the projections, suited to product presentations, brand staging, science labs and interactive experiences. The Selfie Room can carry the client's branding, with a backdrop adapted to the occasion. No capacity is given for these two rooms.
Catering
The website does not describe in-house catering or name a caterer. Ask the events team which caterers work in the hall, how a seated dinner for several hundred guests is served and what technical support comes with the hire.
History and setting
Culturespaces runs immersive art centres in several countries, and Port des Lumières is the first permanent one in Hamburg. Its programme mixes large art shows, such as a Monet exhibition, with an Asterix and Obelix adventure, immersive yoga and Pilates sessions, and a format that brings together five Hamburg artists. The building sits in the Überseequartier, the new district at the southern end of HafenCity, close to the water and the port. For an event, guests arrive in one of the newest parts of the city and step into a show that changes with the programme.
