A dream has come true for Bernhard Paul, founder and Director of Circus Roncalli and a lover of the Viennese coffee house culture. He played an advisory role in the development of the concept, acted as sponsor for the opening and many of the rare and antique items of furniture that give the Roncalli Grand Café its special charm came from his own extensive private collection. The overall effect is ideally complemented by the premium Hommage collection, a strong and puristic modern-day interpretation of turn-of-the-century style features, together with La Diva tiles in a delicate used look pattern with gold highlights. And to ensure perfect hygiene, Subway urinals with the patented ProDetect 2 radar control are installed in the gents' toilets.
The historic Levantehaus building in Hamburg's Mönkebergstraße provides the perfect setting for this typical coffee house style. With over 40 shops, including exclusive fashion boutiques, jewellers and craft stores, the imposing former office complex built in 1912 is always worth a visit. Visit the website
