Nhow Berlin Hotel

Located on the banks of the river Spree, Nhow Berlin is a unique designer hotel themed around Berlin’s buzzy music scene. Not only is it a 20-minute walk from the city’s most iconic (and most selective) megaclub, Berghain, but it comes with cool perks like access to a professional recording studio and free guitar room service for when inspiration hits you.

The design of the hotel is gorgeous and impeccably on-trend, with pastel shades of blue and pink making every room an Instagrammer’s paradise. It is the brainchild of renowned interior designer Karim Rashid, and it gives the whole place fun and surreal vibe.

Rooms come in four categories, all of the luxurious and equally carefully designed. All rooms come with amenities like a Nespresso machine and a large rain shower, but you can upgrade for more floor space, a freestanding tub, or views over the river. If you’re really looking for the rockstar experience, the Penthouse comes with its own private balcony, two floors, a huge living room, and a hot tub.

There is a stylish and well-equipped gym, as well as a sauna, steam room, bio sauna, and several experience showers. The concierge service is great for booking tours and activities around the city, and you can also rent a bike to get around like a local. Both the bar and the restaurant have spectacular views of the river, and there are regular music nights on throughout the week. nhow Berlin is one of the most luxury booked gay hotels in Friedrichshain.
