Soho House Berlin
Soho House is arguably London’s best-known private members’ club, and is a favourite haunt of those in the film, media and creative industries. It was founded in London in 1995 with the first premises in Greek Street in Soho. It now has four clubs in London as well as Babington House near Frome in Somerset, and USA branches in New York, Miami and Hollywood. Another addition is Soho House Berlin.
Soho House Berlin has an interesting history; the club is located in the Mitte district of Berlin, spread over eight floors of a restored Bauhaus building. The building was founded in 1928 as a department store before being taken over by the wartime government, and then the East Germany communist regime where it was used to store government archives. On German reunification, it was restored to its original owners and subsequently transformed into Soho House Berlin.
The club has 40 luxury bedrooms, all individually decorated and in a variety of sizes, as well as bars, restaurant, library, the Cowshed gym and spa, terrace with swimming pool and other facilities. Soho House operates as a private members’ club and a variety of annual membership schemes are available ranging from individual branches to the worldwide group of clubs. Non-members can also book rooms at the hotel, however, and as a boutique hotel experience in one of the trendiest parts of Berlin, Soho House Berlin is second to none.
