A former military hospital, office for the Russian secret service and venue for illicit raves, the imposing white building on Rosa-Luxemburg-Strasse in Mitte – now home to the Lux Eleven – has played an instrumental role in Berlin’s life and culture for over a century. Now with 73 luxury self-contained apartments, the building remains a beacon in the neighborhood, a place where visitors can experience the city not as a guest but as a ‘Berliner’.
Amidst the vibrant ambiance of trendy bars, boutiques, and galleries, Lux 11 emerges as Berlin’s epitome of chic design, competing fiercely for its title as the city’s most fashionable hotel.
In a landscape saturated with new offerings, designers face the challenge of captivating discerning guests with unique and exceptional offerings. Claudio Silvestrin and Giuliana Salmaso, the dynamic husband-and-wife duo, have risen to this challenge with aplomb. Embracing a philosophy of minimalism, they have curated sophisticated and sensual spaces characterized by predominantly white hues punctuated by vibrant splashes of pink. This distinctive aesthetic has resonated profoundly with the fashionable media crowd. Each of the 72 apartments is thoughtfully equipped with modern amenities including a kitchenette, DVD player, fax machine, and iPod docking station, with many also featuring a balcony overlooking the tranquil courtyard.
