FLYING BEDS AND UPSIDE DOWN ROOMS? - CREATIVITY IN BERLIN This is an extraordinary location. All rooms and objects were created by the German artist Lars Stroschen. Much more appropriate than "hotel" is the designation "living in a work of art". 30 rooms with an absolutely unique and personal ambience. "Unique" is meant literally, for the entirety of all furnishings and other objects you will discover here are custom-made, individual handiwork. None can be found anywhere else on this planet - one could consider the CITY LODGE to be a museum with guest accommodations or a stay-in work of sculpture. The rooms are designed and constructed without compromise varying from the tame to the extreme, and provide the opportunity to more or less alter your perspective of reality according to your taste and sense of adventure.
You're 25 minutes by bus from the central Tegel airport, or 45 minutes from the larger Schonefeld. The nearest U-Bahn stop is Adenauer Platz, a 5 minute walk from the hotel. There is a HUGE amount to do in Berlin. Museums, parks, shops, historical sights. If you’ve never been – GO! “Justifies a trip to Berlin on it’s own!”
Room examples - these are some of the most outrageous of the 31 on offer, but there is great variety from fun through funky, to fetish. Upside Down: The furnishings hang from the ceiling and you sleep and sit in comfortable boxes beneath the floorboards. Surreal! Mirror: This diamond-shaped room is completely laid out with mirrors to give you the impression of living in a kaleidoscope. Prison Cell: A friendly prison cell with a hole in the wall leading to freedom on the balcony with a parasol.
The hotel is just outside the centre of Berlin, but within walking distance of shops, restaurants (including an excellent South American restaurant) and bars. Transport by u-bahn, bus and taxi is cheap and easy.
