Lux 11 Berlin Mitte

Lux 11 is located in the pulsating heart of Berlin-Mitte. Surrounded by the shops of Berlin’s fashion scene, art galleries, media agencies and countless cafes, bars and restaurants, the essential Berlin is just around the corner.

Hackesche Höfe, Alexanderplatz with the landmark television tower, Gendarmenmarkt, Prenzlauer Berg and Museumsinsel are just a little walk away.

The property was built in the end of the 19th century as a residential building for officers before it became a military hospital during the First World War. The house also survived the Second World War and was occupied by the Russian secret service from then on. The KGB operated a telephone surveillance station to monitor the phone conversations between East and West Berliners. A few weeks after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the agents left the building overnight, their job was over. From 1990, the neighbourhood became a booming district for arts, underground clubs and galleries, and so the house was a place of subculture and parties for over a decade. In 2005, after two years of refurbishment, Lux 11 opened as a boarding house.

It became the favourite of Berlin’s creative scene immediately and is now the most popular designer residence in Berlin, being first choice for models, actors, DJs, musicians and celebrities. It offers 72 spacious open-plan apartments, ranging in size from 25 – 55 m2, featuring a fully equipped kitchenette, creating a truly cosy and at-home feel. All four-star comforts, such as 24-hour reception and room service, are available. The 160 m2 penthouse can also be used as an exclusive meeting room.

Lux 11, named after its location on Rosa-Luxemburg-Str. also houses Luchs Restaurant, serving traditional german cuisine, and the bar The Lodge, as well as an Aveda HairSpa and the fashion store Ulf Haines.

Luchs is a restaurant with understated elegance, where food, not design, take centre stage. The restaurant’s long rectangular dining room is flanked by floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing massive amounts of natural light to flood the room. It provides a great contrast to warm darker tones, such as the charcoal-grey seat

cushions, wooden floor and indirect lighting, creating a serene and cosy environment. Luchs has a capacity of 100 guests plus another 60 seats on the sunny terrace. The cuisine features traditional german dishes based on local ingredients.

The Lodge, an adjacent lounge made of stone and wood, is a cosy, intimate refuge where to begin or end one’s

night with the perfect libation. Open from 7 p.m. to all wee hours of the night, Lux 11 guests and Berliners can come

together to mingle and enjoy classic cocktails, or to discover unusual flavours created by the in-house mixologist.
