Directly opposite Berlin's longest preserved section of the Wall, in the heart of Friedrichshain: The MEININGER Hotel East Side Gallery sleeps at mural-level, everything from Berghain to Oberbaumbrücke is on your doorstep, and the interior cleverly plays with the heritage of a divided city.

Sleep history, wake up Friedrichshain

The interior of the MEININGER Hotel East Side Gallery was directly inspired by the former border between East and West Berlin, and you can feel it everywhere. Opposite the bar, the slogan „be united” glows from a concrete wall, while on the way to the rooms, quotes about reunification and togetherness adorn the walls, and modern graffiti in the rooms takes up the theme. This is not a superficial Wall-kitsch concept, but a consistently well-thought-out design program. In addition, floor-to-ceiling windows offer a view of Berlin in flux. This is a hotel that actually has something to tell.

MEININGER Hotel East Side Gallery: Location that leaves nothing to be desired

At the MEININGER Hotel East Side Gallery, you literally wake up next to history and art, directly opposite the world’s longest preserved section of the Wall, now covered with world-famous murals. Furthermore: just a short walk away begins the creative heart of Friedrichshain and Kreuzberg with street art, indie cafés, bars directly on the Spree, vintage shops, and legendary clubs. And for all those who want to explore the entire city: Ostbahnhof is reachable in a two-minute walk. Room types range from classic double rooms to private multi-bed rooms to a bed in a dormitory, making the hotel interesting for both backpackers and travelers with a bit more comfort requirements. There are many special hotels in Berlin. But only a few offer this combination of historical depth, lively neighborhood, and true accessibility.
