The rebellious Hotel
Every detail of Michel Berger Hotels in Berlin to the last detail thought through. Guests should always stay in their experience new things and above all to discover. The designer Werner Aisslinger has contributed to the implementation of the project. He has given the old factory building on the Warschauerstraße a new face, but the architectural, for the period of the early 20th Century typical characteristics carefully embedded in an innovative design concept: brick facades, huge mullioned windows, high ceilings were preserved and frame the modern and fresh interior design of Michel Berger Hotels.
The 119 rooms are divided into five categories, and named for their size. An essential component of the overall concept, the rooms of the larger categories, which can accommodate up to 10 people. All rooms are decorated in soft shades of gray and with a custom-made, hand-drawn wallpaper equipped, on the objects and symbols are portrayed them that love the team and Michel Berger expensive. The sunflower yellow of the curtains is the feel-good splash in the 119 rooms of the hotel. Attention to detail on even the smallest bite was taken, starting with the self-designed labels of water bottles, to the design of the shower gel - everything is hand drawn. Numerous small and unique items from flea markets and antiques shops in Berlin, which all tell a very personal story, are an exciting contrast to the modern design of the hotel and the bustling city outside the door.
Also spectacular is the entrance: a huge illuminated sign, as otherwise usual in Hollywood movies, has the guest the way to the old factory driveway leading to the courtyard of the building and the actual main entrance of the hotel and dangle from the ceiling of countless oversized light bulbs. All areas on the ground floor of the lobby to the restaurant and bar area with Hollywood and the swings and wooden platforms recorded courtyard which flow into one another.
