At the beginning of July, the team at the 25hours Hotel Bikini Berlin celebrated the hotel’s eleventh birthday in the City West with over 1,000 guests. But the anniversary wasn’t the only reason to celebrate, because just in time for the “More than a decade” event, the renovation work that had been ongoing since November 2024 was completed. studio aisslinger was responsible for the further development of the design, just as it was eleven years ago. All 22 Large Urban and Large Jungle rooms were given a completely new look. In line with the changed room concept, the bed has been moved to the centre of the room and, thanks to its frontal orientation, now offers unique views of the Tiergarten or City West. The bathtubs still function as Bluetooth speakers. All Large Rooms also have their own library. This wooden capsule not only offers a cosy retreat and invites guests to read, relax and dream, it also underlines the 25hours Hotels’ connection to all things analogue.

In addition to the changes to the Large Rooms, all Medium Rooms (Medium Jungle, Medium Urban, Medium Urban Twin) have also been renovated and fitted with a modern lighting concept. Light sources have been integrated into the mirrors and new swivel lamps have been installed. Special attention was paid to the renovation of the bathrooms. In addition to new tiles and brighter but cosier lighting in the bathrooms, a unique upcycling project was carried out in collaboration with Kaldewei. For the first time in the history of the premium manufacturer of high-quality bathroom solutions, the hotel’s disused shower trays and bathtubs were recycled, technically and visually upgraded and then reinstalled in the renovated bathrooms of the 25hours Hotel Bikini Berlin.

The area, which is also popular with locals, is ideal as a co-working space during the day. The large new community table and various work areas contribute to this. In the evenings, there is a cosy bar atmosphere with a fireplace and hammocks, offering a nice alternative to the lively atmosphere in the Monkey Bar on the tenth floor. Monthly events are also planned, such as workshops, comedy nights, quiz nights, readings and concerts in small groups. Of course, the area can also be rented for various types of events.
