Trendy Hotel Michelberger / Berlin / Germany

House & Hotel Magazine welcomes you in Berlin, this hotel in former East Berlin, in the so called “party, hipster area” is a special place. Everyone knows Berlin is different and on fire. People come over to enjoy the “Berghain” club or just take a look at the left overs of the wall.
At the Michelberger Hotel in the eastern part of the city you will find different things:
Rooms can be comfortable, homey, full of light and use space cleverly and playfully. All come with a very loving mattress, Michelberger TV, private bathroom, window-shower, as well as WLAN access.
You will also find the so called “Michelberger WG”.

‘WG’ is German for ‘flatshare’ (unfortunately not ‘group sex’ as people used to think…).

So if you are in for some socializing or want to save your pennies for partying, book yourself a bed in the Michelberger WG. Take pot luck with your room mates… You could get Rudi and his trumpet. You could get the whole Michelberger crew passed out after a heavy night. Or you could even get the whole place to yourself. Never a dull moment and making new friends is guaranteed.

Enjoy.

If you saved some money on accomodation, watch out for our resto tips.

Unfortunately my favourite restaurant in Berlin-Mitte closed: It was the Margaux – Chef de Cuisine – Michael Hoffmann

New resto tip: LABANCA, a bit of “stylish bella Italia” in Berlin-City.

The new restaurant by Chef de Cuisine Jörg Behrend is located in the groundfloor of Hotel de Rome. The dining room is just cool. Tables are generously spaced, set with good quality linen tablecloths. The kitchen is well staffed. We tried during the opening the whole menu, eight small courses of tasting menus, including vitello tonnato, Watermelon with thunfish, caprese, Gnocci with Parma ham, Saltimbocc with spinacah, seebass. Everything was perfect, most of the vegetables on the menu came from local gardens.

The wine list has coverages from France, Germany, Italy and Spain in particular, with some rare wines as well. We tried Chardonnay by Alois Lageder South-Tyrol and a lovely Riesling from Anthony Hammond, Rheingau.

This worked well with the food, the textural contrast of the different kind of foods was delicious effective and everything tasted very fresh.

The food was attractively presented and also the Barbecue meat had a pleasant meaty taste, but the itself had a slight chewiness of texture, which I was not expecting.

The vegetables had excellent flavour.

The seabass with artichokes, was an unusual dish, tasty and well balanced.

Dessert came in three stages. Classic Pannacotta, Tirami Su and a lovely chocolate bar.

This is a restaurant that can produce genuinely top class dishes, and the control of balancing flavors was impressive. Yummy.

I am in love with LABANCA, even Sir Rocco Forte (with his daughters) joined the opening.
