The Michelberger’s Hideout Suite is one of the most unique in Berlin. With a king sized bed for adults and a sweet loft for kids, the whole family will enjoy it. This room has a SAUNA!! In the room! There’s a bathtub for two in the living room, shower in the bathroom and a gorgeous sauna to warm up after Berlin winter tourism. Kitchen, minibar, projector for a tv, dining table, this suite has endless potential! Would you sleep here?
Picking a hotel on the Spree means you can host an event on the river! The MS Rhein and the MS Peter are two examples of historic ships that you can book for your guests. MS Rhein was built in 1925 and can fit up to 120 guests. And the MS Sir Peter can fit 30. Both with on board catering and built in bars, your guests will have an unforgettable view of the city of Berlin from the water. There are docks throughout the city for your guests to be picked up and impressed!
Follow me to see their dock and event venue, the perfect stop to surprise your guests with a Summer party!
The Nhow hotel is just at the end of the East Side Gallery in Berlin. With more than 100 paintings on what was the east side of the Berlin wall, the art is commentary on political changes in Germany. Dimitri Vrubel’s Fraternal Kiss is one of the most popular works of art. Your guests will leave the music hotel and walk for 1.3 meters to enjoy art and culture. I loved photographing clients along this strip with !
Follow me this week as we move to See and visit some boats that can be rented for events on the Spree!
Welcome to the music floor! This part of the hotel has the largest suite with access to a nice sized meeting room, patio, and Baldwin piano. Check out the living room of the suite! How can you not create gorgeous music from this room?! This area is the perfect set up for brainstorming and creativity. Imagine what your group could get done on this floor! I could relax for an hour in that tub with views of the Spree!
The rooms at Nhow Berlin are super groovy! From the waves on the ground to the waves on the walls to the pink linens, this hotel screams rock ‘n’ roll! With 304 guestrooms, including premium rooms and suites, this hotel is a great location for a millennial heavy event. Did you know they have a guitar room service? You can order a guitar, keyboard, or Bluetooth speaker up to your room, at no additional cost!
Stay tuned to see the Nhow penthouse and music floor meeting spaces on Friday!
The Nhow Berlin offers 12 function rooms that can hold up to 750 people. The best part is, they all have gorgeous windows offering natural light. With access to the Spree terraces, it is an ideal location for a barbecue or a summer event. The conference room has floor-to-ceiling windows looking out over the river and the Terrace. With names like Soul, Jazz, Music Lounge, and Music Hall, the theme of a music hotel continues into the meeting spaces. Spaces like these make it easy for your group to think out of the box!
Think pink! Making the Nhow Berlin an art space was quite easy for designer Karim Rashid. He wanted to make the music inspired Hotel tactile and a truly immersive experience of color, texture, and vibrancy. How do you think he did? These public areas are stunning! With the dramatic reception desk of a high gloss fiberglass sculpture that flows into the hotel bar and lounge, guests have a difficult time keeping their eyes still. I love how the buffets match the front desk.
I watched locals enjoy the lobby DJ, businessmen discuss deals in the restaurant, and families checking into their rooms. The diversity of this hotel fit in so well in Berlin.
I just finished a contract with Nhow London (Yay!), so I figured I would share my past visit to Nhow Berlin. Europe's first music hotel is located on the river Spree in the center of Berlin's music and art scene. Architect Sergei Tchoban approached the limits of what is structurally possible by protruding the upper tower 21 meters out from the building over the banks of the Spree. The spacious terraces and reflective steel panels are a marvel for those on the river side of the hotel, but those on the road see an ordinary structure.
Follow me this week to see this amazing design hotel with wild guest rooms, meeting spaces, recording studios, live music, and art as far as the eye can see.
My last highlight from ABC Denver is a night out at the Denver Art Museum! DAM opened a few floors for us to view art, drink tequila, and socialize with our colleagues and venue partners. The live music was so unique and dancers were on every floor. They did an absolutely stunning job!
A trip to Denver is not complete without a A hike in their local mountains! I was so lucky to hike two different locations while in town for ’s ABC. My favorite was the Turkey Trot Trail, an easy 3.2 mile loop with views and tunes from Red Rocks Amphitheater! Host your own event in Red Rocks for up to 9500 guests and they will go home raving about your event!

The Colorado convention center in downtown Denver is the 12th largest convention center in the United States. Even with our conference of 2000 guests, we only saw a fraction of the rooms available for events. Our opening ceremony was in the Bellco Theater that can seat 5000 guests! The venue offers some of the best acoustics in the city for concerts lectures and general sessions. Our Partner Fair was in the Mile High Ballroom which can accommodate over 5000 attendees. The 50,000 ft.² of event space can be divided into 18 individual rooms! The convention center was the perfect place for our event and had such creative catering and welcoming staff.
The grand Hyatt Denver is across the street from the convention center and has 516 rooms, including 27 suites. They have three dining outlets, an indoor pool, a great gym, and the highest bar in the city. Walking around I was able to find bars, restaurants, shops including a target, and so much culture. We were able to enjoy part of the city's Cinco de Mayo celebrations! It seems there are events downtown every week!
Back from an amazing week away in Denver! Enjoyed every minute of fresh air, hiking, partner connections, team building at bars and on the dance floor, and a weekend away with my husband and no kids. This is !

Follow me this week as I share and explore Denver, Colorado!
I am not typically one to tour churches in my travels, but the cathedral in Cologne is not to be missed! I took a tour with a local art historian who filled us in on the frescoes, architecture, and paintings within. The Shrine of the Three Wise Men was brought to the Cathedral in 1164 and has been a Catholic must-see since then, even though the church wasn’t completed until 1880! The High Gothic architecture allows all locals to see the church spires like I did from my guest room. It was an easy walk to the train station for my return to Berlin, so a break from train travels would be so easy in Köln!
It has been fun diving into past travels, but now it’s time to move forward! Follow me this week as I return from a trip to Denver, Colorado and our Annual Business Conference.
NENI is such a delicious restaurant that you must visit in Köln. With Israeli, Romanian, and Spanish influence the menu is served family style for your group to share. At the top of the 25hours Hotel The Circle, NENI has views that will make you want to sit and eat for hours. I had breakfast with a view of the Cologne Cathedral before I went and took a tour. The food and the view were amazing.
I just love me a Monkey Bar! The top floor of the 25hours Hotel The Circle is dedicated to their restaurant and bar. The Monkey Bar has amazing cocktails, great DJs, and the most stunning rooftop views! It is a great event space for daytime meals and for evening buyouts. If the weekend lines are anything like the Monkey Bar, Berlin, it is best to be a guest and walk right in!
I loved the guestrooms at the 25 hours hotel the circle! The hotel has 207 guestrooms with five different room types. I stayed in the large outer circle which is 279ft.² with stunning city views. Colonius Turm sat center stage! I love that the bathroom had live plants and the shutters to the bedroom. It made me feel like the room was endless. My kids LOVED the robot pillow and your meeting attendees will too!
Goodbye BoHo, hello futurism! 25hours Hotel The Circle in Köln is one of the wackiest hotels I have ever visited! With an outer space theme, walking into the lobby makes you feel like you are walking into NASA. Astronauts, UFOs, work pods, and the trippiest elevator ride you will ever take are waiting for you at this Cologne Hotel.
Follow me this week to see this Accor hotel. The rooftop bar is amazing and the guestroom was so comfortable I didn't want to leave. 25 hours has got to be one of my favorite hotel brands in Europe with 15 properties in 7 countries! Have you visited one?
Eeny Meeny Miny Moe, which of the 10 meeting spaces at Yours Truly D.C. is the best for your meeting or event? With 15,000 ft.² of event space, this property allows you to be so creative with your meetings including cooking demonstrations, outdoor space, and even a ping-pong room! The pantry with it's five beer taps and the studio with its operating kitchen and mirrored ceilings are my two favorite spaces in this hotel. Perfect for the addition of team building without leaving the property!
That's a wrap on the tour of the newest Vignette Hotel. I'm ready to introduce you to a similar hotel style in Europe. Stay tuned…
The guestrooms at Yours Truly are so cool! You aren't going to get your normal boring hotel carpet as the boho threads welcome you with their bright colors. Even the hallways are lined with these gorgeous rugs! The standard king and premium double queen room are just a taste of the options at this hotel. Just wait until you see the two and three bedroom suites with over 950 ft.² of space!
