'A room with a hammock' never fails to catch my eyes. I love the laid-back feel and "away-from-everyday-life" feel produced by the hammocks. I guess it has a magical effect that converts ordinary space into charming and inspirational space.
The picture above is one of the rooms with a hammock from 25hours Hotel Bikini Berlin, which opened January, 2014. Not only the hammock, but you also notice the bike on the wall . . .
This hotel offers free MINI and bicycle rental to their guests. Some larger rooms are even equipped with personal in-room bike. Then you wake up and just hop onto "your own" bike just like locals, without going to the frontdesk to rent the bike. How nice, isn't it?
[A little bit about the hotel]
  • 25hours Hotel Bikini Berlin is located in Berlin's City West, between the Berlin's Zoo and the shopping and high-end retail street (Ku'damm).
  • The redevelopment project centered on five historic buildings in this area including the Zoo Palast cinema and Bikinihaus, a unique post-war architectural icon, is being completed in April, 2014, and now the collection of the buildings have been reborn as BIKINI BERLIN complex. This hotel is a part of the complex, along with the cinema and concept mall.
  • Of the 149 rooms, half face the zoo ('Jungle' rooms), and another half face the city center ('Urban' rooms).
  • The room size varies between M (22-26sqm), L (38-41sqm), and XL (43sqm). It seems that in-room bike comes with the L type. (Personally, I'd love to stay in a Jungle L room.)
  • Architecture: KEC Architects
  • Design: Werner Aisslinger (Studio Aisslinger)

Extra-long pendant lump gives this room good vibes.

Just imagining to have breakfast in this glass-walled rooftop restaurant makes me feel good.

 

What I like about this hotel:
  • Pop and warm colors.
  • Simple design yet with playful touch.
  • Large windows that give an open feeling.
  • Free MINI and bike rental is an extra plus!
  • Free WiFi included too.
  • iPod docking statin in rooms and iMac workstation at shared space.
  • 360-degree panoramic view is most likely available from its rooftop bar and restaurant.
