Michelberger Hotel

With creative monochrome interiors and an innovative approach to room design, the Michelberger is a great option for people who need their hotels to look as good as they feel. Every room is unique, but every single one looks like it could come straight out of an interior design magazine. Add in a location that’s under 15 minutes from Berghain (and a stone’s throw away from an S- and U-Bahn station), and you can understand why this is a favorite gay Berlin hotel. Michelberger Hotel is one of the most booked gay hotels in Friedrichshain Berlin.

The rooms come in a variety of categories and styles, with something to suit every budget. There’s the small cozy room, perfect for solo travelers or a couple on a short city break, or the Loft for a bit more room. The Overlook and Luxus rooms come with plenty of natural light and a complimentary yoga mat, the Hideout has a more homey feel, while the Band and the Big One are great for larger groups.

The stylish hotel restaurant serves organic, beautifully presented dishes made with locally-sourced ingredients, while the Cafe Bar offers a more laid-back environment. If you’re visiting in the summer, the courtyard is a great spot for mingling with fellow travelers. The breakfast is truly exceptional, if not a bit pricey. There is not a gym, but the hotel does have a yoga studio with regular classes and special sessions.
