Berlin
Bold, futuristic music-and-lifestyle design hotel. Think Karim Rashid's pink-and-blue aesthetic cranked to eleven. Not for the minimalist crowd.
Book a river-view room — the Oberbaumbrücke view is worth the upgrade
Why It Matters
The only hotel in Europe with its own recording studios (two of them). Designed by New York designer Karim Rashid with a futuristic pink palette. Sits directly on the River Spree with views of the iconic Oberbaumbrücke. A genuine landmark for Berlin's music and creative scene in Friedrichshain.
Europe's first music hotel sits right on the Spree River in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, dressed head-to-toe in Karim Rashid's signature hot pink and futuristic curves. The concept is simple: a hotel built around music and creative culture, with two professional recording studios, a Gibson guitar room service, and 304 rooms that look like they were designed for a pop star. It's genuinely different — part hotel, part creative hub, part event space.

nhow Executive Suite by Karim Rashid
The flagship suite. 90 sqm in the silver tower, with panoramic Berlin views, an open living and sleeping area, private hot tub, and rain shower — all wearing Karim Rashid's unmistakable design signature. This is the hotel's ultimate room and a genuine statement stay.

There's nothing junior about it. Separate living area, freestanding bathtub, and a TV that swings around. River-facing orientation. A genuine step up in terms of space and design theatrics.
