The Estrel Showtheater in Neukölln belongs to Germany's largest hotel and has been hosting the impersonator revue Stars in Concert since 1997, which is now in its 29th season.

Show Theater, Hotel, and Congress Center on Sonnenallee
The Estrel Show Theater is located at Sonnenallee 225 in Neukölln and is part of a complex consisting of a hotel, congress center, and stage, which are connected by a 2,800 square meter and 13-meter high atrium and a rotunda. The Neukölln Shipping Canal flows directly alongside the building, where a summer garden and a private boat dock for boat tours are located. Next door, the Estrel Tower has been rising for several years, planned to be Berlin’s tallest skyscraper at 176 meters and 45 stories. The Sonnenallee S-Bahn station, with ring lines S41 and S42, is about 250 meters away, the M41 bus stops directly in front of the hotel, and the A100 highway is accessible via the Grenzallee exit. A hotel-owned parking garage offers around 450 spaces including charging stations, plus four disabled parking spaces in the underground garage and a taxi stand in front of the entrance. The hotel opened on October 14, 1994, with the show theater added in 1997.
