The hotel was designed by architects Jost Schramm and Gert Pempelfort. Construction began in 1970 and the hotel opened in April 1973 as Loews Hamburg Plaza. It was renamed Hamburg Plaza Hotel when it was managed by Canadian Pacific Hotels.

In 1988, it was acquired by SAS Group and renamed the SAS Hamburg Plaza Hotel. When SAS Group's SAS International Hotels created a co-brand with Radisson Hotels, it was renamed Radisson SAS Hamburg Hotel.

In October 2009, a €48 million renovation of the hotel was completed.[1]

In November 2009, a European hotel fund managed by Invesco acquired the hotel for €155 million.[2] The hotel was renamed the Radisson Blu Hotel Hamburg in 2009.
