Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg is our city’s funkiest neighborhood and it’s yours for the taking at our Berlin boutique hotel. Our guest rooms overlook the East Side Gallery, a notorious relic of the Berlin Wall now covered in political murals. Artistic creativity thrums throughout the district, from boho cafés and design studios to world-class performance venues such as the Mercedes-Benz Arena. Shops and bars open constantly, graffiti appears overnight, and our area keeps on reinventing itself. Even our parks are used creatively, as venues for gigs and flea markets full of vintage finds.
All of Berlin’s sights are within easy reach, whether you want to gawp at the socialist architecture of Karl-Marx-Allee, check out the Museum Island galleries and museums, or admire the vast Brandenburg Gate.
Soak up the spellbinding sight of Berlin’s buzziest neighborhood spread at your feet from our chic rooftop bar. Enjoy perfectly mixed cocktails, or perhaps a BRLO craft beer. We’ve got you covered with all-day snacks and German tapas sharing plates, so sit back and revel in views of the Spree River and East Side Gallery below.
Unwind in our retro-chic restaurant-bar, full of eclectic artworks that reflect our dynamic neighborhood and the vibrant colors of the East Side Gallery opposite. Let us tantalize your palate with German tapas, prepared with fine local ingredients. Pair them with craft beers from the BRLO Brewery or our carefully chosen wines.
Don't leave Berlin without trying Burgermeister burgers. This iconic eatery is bizarrely located in the cutest public loo you’ll ever see, dating from the early 1900s. Its juicy burgers, served in a sesame-seed bun with caramelized onions and spicy chili fries, draw long queues of local aficionados, but service is quick and cheerful.
A contemporary brewery and restaurant housed in upcycled shipping containers, BRLO Brwhouse will wow you with its creative vegetarian dishes, prepared in every imaginable way. They’re all accompanied with BRLO’s award-winning beer, of course. It’s a favorite with young urbanites, who gather in the post-industrial beer garden outside.
Boxhagener Platz in bohemian Friedrichshain hosts a flea market on Sunday. Rummage stalls piled high with an eye-popping jumble of vintage clothing, wonky furniture and pre-loved vinyl, and chances are you’ll unearth a rare treasure. Celebrate with a takeaway smoked sausage and lounge with the cool crowds in the shady park.
Our city’s subversive alternative culture thrives in this vast complex. Set in a former train-repair yard, it’s the ideal place to soak up the urban street vibe. It’s got Instagrammable graffiti and boho cafés, and if you like to party hard with attitude, RAW is one of the few remaining outposts of true clubbing hedonism in our city.
You can physically touch history at the East Side Gallery, an astonishing 1.3-km stretch of the Berlin Wall located right in front of our hotel. Preserved as a permanent memorial to peace, these days it's swathed in murals, including an iconic depiction of post-war politicos Leonid Brezhnev and Erich Honecker locked lip-to-lip.
A 20-minute stroll from our hotel, you’ll discover the monumental, post-war Karl-Marx-Allee boulevard. This sweeping, showcase avenue cuts a swathe through the modern city and was built in the GDR era to showcase the creative might of socialist East Germany. The scale of the landmark Frankfurter Tor towers is simply breathtaking.
There’s nowhere better to pass a chilled, sunny Sunday than at the Mauerpark, strolling around the flea market. Check out Joe Hatchiban’s renowned karaoke show in the Bearpit amphitheater. Launched in 2009, it always attracts huge crowds, all good-naturedly cheering on the musicians and dancers – whether they’re any good or not!
Famous for its acoustics, you’ll find Berlin’s most technologically advanced music venue right next door to our hotel. The Verti opened in late 2018, and offers a wonderfully eclectic program of pop and rock, jazz and classical music concerts. Performers have included star DJs Marshmello and Deadmau5, and songwriter George Ezra.
Berlin’s biggest indoor arena is mere steps from our hotel. For sports fans, it’s home to the Eisbären Berlin ice-hockey team and the ALBA Berlin basketball club. All the biggest international music stars, from Depeche Mode to Beyoncé, have performed here, along with world-class shows like ""Lord of the Dance"" and fight nights.
This beautifully preserved theatre and music hall first opened in 1911. Nowadays it has 3 performance spaces, but the sumptuous Grand Hall – all red velvet and dripping chandeliers – is the most atmospheric. Classic Berlin revues and cabaret, along with operetta and music performances, are on the program, including some in English.
