Ku'Damm 101 Hotel

Ku'Damm 101 Hotel

The 4 star garni hotel Ku´Damm 101 not only trumps with lifestyle design, but is also certified as "partly accessible for people with walking disabilities". The main entrance invites all groups of people to enter the lobby and thus into the lounge area of the bar. Here visitors are welcomed by a changing colour concept, which is based on the colour series and design principles of the Bauhaus mastermind Le Corbusier. The rooms are generously designed and let guests stay and relax in the middle of Berlin Charlottenburg. A desk with foldable elements creates space for business travellers to think.
