Articles: Massage in HafenCity: Relax at Grasbrookpark
You're in HafenCity and want a massage. No phone call, no waiting room, no preparation. Right next to Grasbrookpark, there's a place for that: the NAIPO Relax Lounge.
The location: between Elbphilharmonie and Grasbrookpark
The NAIPO Relax Lounge is located at Am Grasbrookpark 1 in Hamburg's HafenCity. The park is right outside. The Überseequartier and the Elbphilharmonie are both just a short walk away. The lounge is therefore conveniently located in a central area of HafenCity.
That makes it a convenient stopover. After a meeting. After a stroll through the Überseequartier. Before the concert starts in the evening. You don't need a reason or a trip across the city. You just go when it suits you.
The address can be remembered in a second: Am Grasbrookpark 1. The way there is short, whether you come from the Überseequartier, from the Elbphilharmonie or from the park itself.
The concept: your private space, your massage chair
One thing to note upfront, because it makes all the difference: No therapist is giving you a massage here. You're taking a seat in a top-of-the-line NAIPO massage chair. This is not a substitute for physiotherapy. It's something different, with its own unique strengths.
When people think of massage, they think of hands. Here, technology is at work. This eliminates all the effort involved in a traditional massage. No need to coordinate with a fully booked practice. No changing clothes, no oil. You come in during your lunch break and go back to the office afterward.
- Spontaneous: You don't need to arrange an appointment with anyone. You book online and choose your time.
- Predictable: The armchair doesn't have a full schedule and doesn't close in the middle of your lunch break.
- Private: You stay dressed, need no preparation and are on your own the whole time.
Each room is private and fully climate-controlled. This means the temperature is set by you, not by the weather outside. You control the temperature and lighting yourself using a tablet in the room. You can also use the same tablet to contact reception via chat and order drinks. You don't have to get up or encounter anyone. No one knocks, no one looks in. You decide how your room feels. The armchair takes care of the rest.

Relax Lounge Light: the open version
Not every visitor needs a private room. That's what the Relax Lounge Light is for – a more affordable open-plan area with massage chairs, but without a private room. You sit in the open area instead of behind your own door.
This is perfect if you want a short break and the surrounding space isn't important. The choice is simple: complete privacy in your own room or direct access to an armchair. Both options are available at the same address, and both can be booked online. If you're unsure, start with the "light" option and choose the private room on your next visit.
Booking, vouchers, corporate fitness
Booking is done online, with appointment selection. You can see in advance when a spot is available and commit to it. Spontaneously for tonight or planned for next week. Both are possible, without a phone call. You plan around your own time, not someone else's calendar.
Gift vouchers are available. If you want to give someone in Hamburg a break, this is the most direct way. The recipient can then book their appointment themselves, whenever it suits them.
The Relax Lounge is also a partner of Wellpass, Urban Sports Club, Hansefit, and Classpass. If you have one of these fitness memberships through your company, you can use it here. For many who work in HafenCity, it's the quickest way to relax in an armchair.
And if you are interested in the chairs themselves: In the same store you can try out NAIPO massage chairs for home use, without any pressure to buy.

Frequently asked questions about massage in HafenCity
Do I need an appointment?
You book online and choose your own appointment time. No consultation with a therapist is necessary because no therapist is involved. The chair adjusts to you, not the other way around.
Do I need to bring anything or prepare anything?
No. You stay fully clothed and don't need to prepare. Just come, take a seat, and relax. You can order drinks in the private room via tablet.
Does this visit replace physiotherapy?
No, and we're not claiming otherwise. A massage chair can help relieve tension, but it doesn't replace treatment by a professional. For medical conditions, you should consult a doctor or physiotherapist.
