Michelberger

A long time coming, and finally the opportunity arose. A quick flight and I was enjoying a magical few mid-summer days sampling the delights of Berlin, paying homage at Berghain and gathering some bits and pieces before heading to a magical summer festival in Poland. 

I was fortunate enough to find myself in the “Chalet Room”… beautiful high ceilings, windows looking into the courtyard… and decked out like a mountain cabin. Amazing bed. It felt more like a home.

Loved it. Loved the laissez-faire attitude… people rolling in from large nights out at all times. The spaces seemed to encourage interaction. The playful aesthetic. The live music and talks. The savvy staff. A philosophy of fostering and supporting creativity and arts. The tasty organic bites and spinning cocktails. Can’t wait to go back.

Berlin perhaps has to be one of the coolest, hippest and of course most progressive cities in Europe, if not the world. It has a smorgasbord of bars, restaurants and clubs across so many neighbourhoods around the city and those in the area surrounding the Michelberger are some of the best. Just one minute to the U-Bahn, two minutes to the S-Bahn or just roam the streets by bike and go wherever your heart takes you.

Hanging out in the reading lounge I met a lovely couple in their late 30s from New York, who were also on the way to the same music festival. We still keep in contact!
