GERMANY ISSUE 189 Dec 2009

The Michelberger Hotel is a budget hotel concept created by a group of friends who had the idea to build the best hotel they could - the kind of hotel they'd like to stay in themselves. A place that is individual, charismatic, stylish, fun, rebellious and inexpensive: a place where anything goes, just like Berlin itself.

The Michelberger Hotel hosts Berlin's smallest - but most charming - Christmas market. Every evening between 6pm and 10pm homemade Glühwein, Howe sausages and handmade Erzgebirge Räuchermännchen await guests. The hotel also offers lunch and, during the winter months, hosts its renowned Sunday afternoon whisky and tea concerts.
