Hotel Nollendorfplatz

About this place Hotel Nollendorfplatz

Hotel Nollendorfplatz occupies one of the most significant addresses for Berlin's LGBTQ+ history: Nollendorfplatz itself, the square that was the social centre of Berlin's gay and lesbian culture in the 1920s and which Christopher Isherwood immortalised in Goodbye to Berlin. The Magnus-Hirschfeld memorial plaque is on the adjacent building. The U-Bahn station below connects directly to Schöneberg's bars, Kreuzberg, and the rest of the city. The hotel is gay-owned and operated, with a team that understands LGBTQ+ travel requirements without requiring guests to explain themselves. The property is not a design hotel — the emphasis is on location and community rather than spa facilities or interior concept — but it delivers on its core offering: a comfortable, fairly-priced base in the exact centre of Berlin's historic gay neighbourhood. For first-time visitors to Berlin who want to be embedded in the Schöneberg scene, this is the logical choice.
