ArtHotel Connection ***

ArtHotel Connection lovingly refers to itself as the Grande Dame of Berlin’s gay hotels, and we couldn’t agree more. From its stately entrance of chandeliers to its grand wooden staircase, the hotel evokes all the charm of yesteryear while maintaining the essential amenities for the modern-day gay traveler. Positioned on a quiet tree-lined street in Berlin’s gayborhood, Schöneberg, ArtHotel Connection puts convenience at the heart of the guest experience.

The art nouveau hotel that is proudly ‘everybody-friendly’ has recently been renovated to cater to the demands of today’s traveler, with rooms coming complete with flat-panel TVs, DVD players, and portable device docking stations. Room types vary from single occupancy right through to superior double rooms and suites, and are suited to different occupancies and budgets.

Whichever option you choose, you will be treated to a modern aesthetic that pairs beautifully with the building’s original features. Iron beds and fresh colors give way to wooden floorboards and high ceilings, while large opening windows provide the perfect amount of natural light.

However, if you are looking for something special to celebrate a birthday, an anniversary, or you’re simply craving that ‘treat yourself’ kind of moment, we recommend opting for the suite. Originally the reception in the building’s former function as a private residence, the large room boasts high ceilings, parquet flooring, and a large bay window. A king bed and modular sofa also guarantee the perfect amount of comfort after a night of clubbing in Berlin.

Gone are the days of needing to set the alarm to wake up early enough for breakfast, ArtHotel Connection serves the most important meal of the day from 7:30am to 4pm Monday to Friday, and 9am to 4pm on Saturdays and Sundays. If a buffet of fresh fruit, breads, and cereals isn’t enough to tempt you, surely the breakfast room in itself will. Purple-colored walls coexist perfectly with zebra-print chairs, creating just the right amount of pizzazz for any moment of the day.

So if you’re looking for a gay hotel experience in Berlin that stylistically blends the old and the new, give ArtHotel Connection a go for your next gaycation to the German capital.
