What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The building itself is a marvel, with Sergei Tchoban’s design cutting a rakish silhouette: the upper floors, with their shiny metallic skin, cantilever out over the Spree.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Set in Friedrichshain along the water, the hotel sits steps from the Oberbaumbrücke, the East Side Gallery, and legendary nightlife hubs.
The rooms
Candy tones and undulating furniture fill each space, accompanied by room service delivering acoustic or electric guitars directly to your door.
The spa
The bi-level spa includes Finnish and bio saunas, sensory rain showers, and a glass-enclosed relaxation lounge.
Dogs stay too.
BPM Bar
Glowing magenta canopies and curved counters line the waterfront lounge, serving cocktails and street food beside live music sets.
At the table
Breakfast is served around amorphous pink buffet pods overlooking the water, with tables opening toward the river terrace.
How it began
Sergei Tchoban designed the building to mirror the old Osthafen harbor, cantilevering an aluminum-clad upper tower high above the Spree.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.

It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.

Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
