About the Company
- The Michelberger Hotel & Restaurant is an urban oasis of relaxation, creation, togetherness, and enjoyment in the heart of Berlin.
- Founded and managed by Nadine and Tom Michelberger.
- The Michelberger group includes a regenerative farm in Spreewald, the ORA restaurant, the THEKE snack bar, the MXPSM spirits distillery, the PEOPLE Festival, and the Fountain of Youth coconut water.
- For 17 years, Michelberger has been a vibrant human place that continues to forge its own path, serving as a social space for all people and diverse occasions.
- Grown from the Berlin cultural landscape, Michelberger continuously evolves with the people and stories that shape hotel life.
- Our hotel thrives on small steps, daily collaborative creation, and maximum independence. Instead of complaining about the state of the world, politics, neighbors, or large corporations, we start where we can effect change: in this place, with the people who work with us and visit us. This is how we shape the present and create a desirable future for ourselves – through hospitality, enabling experiences, and serving people.
