Axel Hotel Berlin opened in 2009 in Schöneberg, the district that has been the centre of Berlin's LGBTQIA+ life since the early 20th century. The hotel occupies an emblematic building on Lietzenburger Straße, close to the bars, clubs and specialist shops that define the neighbourhood, including Tom's Bar and Hafen.
The hotel has 86 rooms and a comprehensive wellness centre with sauna, steam bath, hammam and jacuzzi. Berlin's broader LGBTQIA+ infrastructure, including Christopher Street Day and numerous club venues, makes it one of the most visited cities for gay travel in Europe, and the Axel Hotel provides a committed base within the historic core of that community.
