Budget design hotel group Motel One is opening a new hotel, Motel One Berlin-Upper West.

It will be the group’s ninth hotel in the German capital, and offers partnerships with Italian luxury furniture brand Baxter and star photographer Jim Rakete.

The hotel’s ideal location in the west of Berlin, right by the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, its unique, artistic interior and high-quality furnishings make it an exquisite showcase for Motel One’s design and quality statements.

The hotel has 582 rooms and occupies 19 floors of the new Upper West building, which can already be described as a City West landmark.

The highlight is the One Lounge – the centrepiece of every Motel One – situated on the tenth floor with luxurious furnishings, a roof terrace and a panoramic view of Berlin.

The hotel has a cinema theme, picking up on Berlin’s tradition as a film location, and on the legendary Zoo Palast cinema next door.

The cinema theme is echoed in the rooms, and the new hotel is also the first to implement the enhanced concept with even more luxurious furnishings.

“Berlin is a very important location for Motel One and one that we are strengthening further by opening our ninth hotel in the city,” said Dieter Müller, founder of the Motel One Group.

“With our exclusive location right by the landmark Memorial Church and our high-quality art and design partnerships, we are positioning ourselves even more clearly as a budget design hotel group. Motel One Berlin-Upper West is a true expression of our brand philosophy.”

The systematic enhancement of the One Lounge concept under the motto “work, meet and relax” has been perfectly realised at the group’s new hotel, which places the bar centre stage as the visual and social focus.

The One Lounge location on the tenth floor is spectacular, offering fantastic views of the city.

Its individual design is based on the cinema theme and realised in an exclusive partnership – a first for Motel One – with Baxter, the Italian luxury leather furniture manufacturer.

Finest leather, comfortable armchairs, interesting shapes and signature pieces let guests experience the world of Baxter interiors and create a modern, exclusive mix of top-quality design.
