The Living Hotel Großer Kurfürst – Berlin charm and a flagship project

Big city meets here with big heart. Like a mirror of the city, equally unexcited and a little rough in its outer appearance, reveals it its true Berlin charm and chic in its interior, which is immediately reflected in the seven-storey lobby. The retro-style lobby, reception area, workspace, bar and TV lounge flow into one another in a seemingly natural way. And above it all, like a patron saint, sits the eponym of the building, the Great Elector, in the form of an XXL sculpture.

The rooms are cleverly designed, functional and cosy at the same time, so that you a9> feel completely at home here right away. Whether you’re staying in a clearly structured business room or a spacious executive apartment, comfort meets thoughtful amenities with complimentary welcome drinks in the minibar, Meissen tiles in the bathrooms and a feature that the hotel group pioneered in Germany over 40 years ago: serviced apartments, i.e. hotel rooms and apartments with fully equipped kitchens – particularly smart and pleasant if you are travelling with children, staying in the city for a longer period of time for work, or simply don’t want to go to a restaurant or out into the city every morning or evening.

The 15 allergy-friendly rooms, which have been specially designed for guests who suffer from increasing environmental pollution or allergies, are also particularly smart. Filtered air instead of pollen, roller blinds instead of curtains, hypoallergenic care instead of a cocktail of fragrances, hypoallergenic bedding instead of upholstered furniture – a little refuge where you can breathe deeply. And every morning you can expect a breakfast as well, which takes into account your needs and any requirements you may have. your needs and any food intolerances.

This is how the Living Hotel manages to combine modern city proximity with genuine moments of well-being – without any frills, but with a smile in every detail.

Right across the street, also in a prime location on the Friedrichstraße, is located the Living Hotel Berlin Mitte. The house is the little sister of the great Elector, plays but once in a12> year a very special big role. Since 2023, the hotel has been transformed into a “trainee hotel” for six weeks every autumn.

In this flagship project, 14 trainees from the hotel chain will have the opportunity to gain work experience from the second apprenticeship year will have the opportunity to for six weeks the Living Hotel Berlin Mitte independently and independently for six weeks and hotel operations already during your a23> training from a new perspective get to know to learn.

The third round of hotel apprenticeships will begin in October. After the first two years, it was clear to see how much new knowledge and self-confidence the apprentices brought back to their home hotels – a living example of how much Living Hotels cares about promoting young talent and personalities.

The philosophy of Living Hotels is based on a clear value proposition: hotels should not just be places to stay overnight, but living spaces where you feel at home – whether for a short stay or a longer period. This includes a warm welcome, personalised service and a concept that emphasises individuality and authenticity. Living Hotels see themselves as hosts who create closeness – to guests, to cities and to the people who live and work there.

The Living Hotel Großer Kurfürst and the Living Hotel Berlin Mitte embody the same attitude in different ways: they represent a piece of Berlin’s lifestyle, a sense of community that goes beyond the ordinary, and a vision of hospitality that connects people.
