The Hacker Hotel
Berlin · Kreuzberg · Mitte-adjacent
A small hotel for people who think in systems.
Eighteen rooms inside the old Ritterstraße telephone exchange — a 1920s brick-and-brass building whose switchboards once routed half of southern Berlin, and whose new switchboard routes you to a long bath, a short walk, and a tab at the bar downstairs.
We are, by any honest measure, a boutique hotel. We are also, less honestly, a clubhouse for the people who tend to find us anyway: engineers, researchers, makers, the occasional novelist working on something paranoid. The architecture is restrained, the breakfast is generous, and the wifi is excellent — though for one floor, on purpose, it is not.

Lockpicking on Wednesdays, soldering on Thursdays, an annual residency with a Berlin art collective who'd rather we didn't name them. See what's on →
"A small hotel that takes itself unseriously and its guests very seriously."
