This imposing hotel in Berlin’s Charlottenburg district is a 120-year-old women’s prison with courthouse. It has been transformed in 11 years (!) by a family of architects into a fantastic minimalistic design hotel . Eye-catching… and what work has been put into keeping the soul of the building intact but making it a comfortable and beautiful hotel. This Hideaway is a must for design lovers! And I can tell you from experience… it is absolutely no punishment to sleep here!
This Hideaway is a monumental building with enormous grandeur, the old Stadtbad – public bath – dating from 1902. In 2011, the owners of the Language Centre behind it seized the opportunity to restore the bath and breathe new life into the building. The building still exudes the nostalgic atmosphere of the early last century but has cleverly integrated all modern requirements. The various rooms (including family rooms and flats) are very comfortable and little details have been thought of.
This hotel is the embodiment of Berlin: a creative, social, alternative and modern melting pot. Not a standard hotel but rather the result of a group of friends and soul mates giving shape to their ideas! A place to gather for those of us who are young at heart and unconventional.
Staying at this Hideaway feels like you’re visiting with friends. Only 4 beautiful appointed rooms and 1 suite. If you need more space they also rent out lovely apartements. The wonderful ground floor café offers a great range of drinks and food.
