Where else in Berlin can you sleep in a retro caravan under the roof of a factory hall? The Hüttenpalast in Kreuzkölln, between Kreuzberg and Neukölln, is probably the most original hotel in the city: indoor camping with real charm, operating year-round.
Camping Meets Factory History: The Hüttenpalast
In the heart of Berlin, on the border between Kreuzberg and Neukölln, an old backyard factory was expertly renovated and converted into a small, very original hotel. The concept behind it is as simple as it is compelling: retro caravans and wooden huts stand on an indoor campsite in two old factory halls. Camping without the risk of rain, right in the city. The caravans and huts are comfortably furnished and bear very special names like “Herzensbrecher” (Heartbreaker) or “Schwalbennest” (Swallow’s Nest).
The range of sleeping options is particularly noteworthy. Impressive, for example, is the “Old Palace”: The hut was created from the historic wood paneling of the factory’s former reception room and now offers space for families or small groups. Those who want their own bathroom can choose the hotel rooms: The Hüttenpalast also offers modern hotel rooms in the style of former factory lofts, characterized by large windows, high ceilings, and plenty of daylight. Televisions and minibars have been deliberately omitted. Instead, the focus is on peace, deceleration, and a pleasant living atmosphere.
Breakfast, Garden, and Location in Kreuzkölln
Those who wake up in the morning and want to start the day comfortably are in good hands at the Hüttenpalast. For breakfast, the operators collaborate with the neighboring James Tagesbar, where guests can expect a cozy atmosphere and a selection of breakfast options. Snacks, homemade cakes, and coffee specialties are also offered until the afternoon. In summer, you can then sit outside in the garden area. Furthermore: Many interesting bars, cafés, and restaurants are reachable within a five-minute walk, and from Hermannplatz subway station, the U8 line goes directly to Alexanderplatz. As a special hotel in Berlin, the Hüttenpalast primarily attracts travelers who prefer character over standard, and at a price that is absolutely reasonable for this type of experience.
