ABOUT ME
I am the 25hours Bikini Hotel. I have eight uniquely designed siblings spread throughout Europe. Luckily I live in the coolest city: Berlin. Located right next to the Berlin Zoo, there really is no better place to settle and explore such a vibrant city. I am 10 floors of urban jungle with a modern retro flare sending all who venture inside my walls back in time with a healthy mix of happy colors and calming subtle tones.
Take a ride to the top floor and let out the animal in you. Good music, tasty treats and the best view in the house, the Monkey Bar is a high class and popping place in Berlin. The bar is the perfect place, not only for my guests but also for the locals to mingle and enjoy a perfect summer night in Berlin.
WHAT TO DO IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD
Jump on one of my cruisers and bike Berlin. The Berliner Tor is only a 10 minute bike ride down the road, you can’t miss it. From there all other sightseeing spots are just a couple pedals away.
25Hours Bikini Hotel is located only a couple minutes away from all the shopping stores from Bershka to Gucci. Hungry from all the shopping, there are plenty of places to grab a bite or sit down for a yummy meal in the vicinity as well.
And of course the Berlin Zoo.
SHARED SECRETS
There is no better way to take on the city then with a bike that can be rented at the reception free of charge. For those, who have a need for speed can take a Mini Cooper for a fun ride through the city. Did we mention that both are free.
How good does a hot steaming sauna sound after a full day of exploring Berlin on a bike? Pretty damn good to me. Literally no better way to end the day sweating away sore legs while overlooking the Berlin Zoo once more. Make sure to take advantage of the Jungle Sauna (on the 9th floor). It is a beautiful little oasis in the middle of a bustling Berlin.
A couple blocks from the hotel there is a restaurant called Thai Elephant. Best Thai food we have had outside of Thailand. The service was terrible, but the food made up for it ten fold.
Not in the mood for a big meal, the Döner shop down in the Zoologischer Garten U-Bahn station is sooo good. Enter through the east exit and you will find it.
$$$$
Rooms start at $150 USD. Breakfast costs around $22 per person for a delicious all you can eat buffet (So worth it).
WHAT TO EXPECT
Expect waking up to the sound of monkeys fighting over bananas, a lovely sunrise over the Berlin Zoo and a breakfast so rich in taste and variety that overeating will be a given. Not so hungry, grab one of the oh so famous German pastries at the indoor Woodfire Bakery. In the evening, you can enjoy a lovely dinner at the Neni Restaurant with menu ranging from Moroccan, Russian, Spanish to Austrian and many more culturally inspired dishes. Expect good food, fine service and comfortable spaces.
