Hotel Type

Design Hotel

On the outskirts of the Mitte in Berlin's still edgy Friedrichshain, Michelberger Hotel is an alternative hotel haven located in an old factory conceived by its current owners as a place made by friends, for friends to feel at home. Bohemian culture reigns in a truly independent hotel concept defined by a lobby of hangout spaces that mix communal kitchen and Selby-ready lounge with nightly live music and intellectual Kaffeeklatsch throughout the day. The man behind the property is Tom Michelberger, a youthful and arty character in his own right that looks not unlike the cool guests and artist patrons that are regulars within his hotel's lobby. Offering a hotel product that caters to those on an artist's budget as much as those with more room to pay for just a cool design hotel, Michelberger finds opportunity in Berlin's current hotel market that has no shortage of stylish newcomers in recent years.

The Room

Michelberger Hotel is a hit in the neighborhood, offering a sort of local commune that merges local artists with tourists and would-be Berliners. Unlike US’s Ace Hotels or Standard Hotels, Michelberger maintains a truly custom and handmade feel from its community-inspired rooms that give the feel that the city’s artistic spirit is alive and well �" even if a little further from Berlin’s center than a decade ago. Rooms are ideal for laidback roadies or even writers with a lingering Marxist fetish offering a gamut of budget-to lux rooms like a “Cozy” ideal for singles or an “in love couple” and suites like “The Clever One” with its own private library.
