The house
SuperbudeUpcycled design hostel
It runs like an easygoing shared flat, where communal kitchens and salvaged industrial fittings replace typical hotel formality.
What it’s good at
Listed
Self-service beer fridges and communal tables anchor the round-the-clock Kitchenclub lounge.
What they say
Also in Wallpaper*.
The playful interiors, designed by Armin Fischer of Dreimeta, cleverly blend the outlandish with the contemporary: walls are covered in newspaper and Konstantin Gricic’s ‘Mayday’ lamps hang from goal-netting headboards.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Schulterblatt's independent boutiques and bars sit around the corner, placing you right in the bustling Schanzenviertel.
The rooms
Newspaper lines the walls, and plunger coat hooks hang beside private rain showers in the bright bedrooms.
Restaurant
Kitchenclub
Wheelbarrow armchairs pull up to the counter, and the morning buffet has a DIY waffle station.
How it began

The red-brick building served as a postal telecommunications exchange around the turn of the twentieth century.

The eight vibes

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.

Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.

A place apart: the property is the destination.
