Scenarios and venues in Berlin
Meeting formats and venues we work with: five-star hotels in the centre, signature restaurants, theatres, private spaces.
Berlinale Premiere and After-Party
The February scenario, the principal one for our Berlin team. From 4 to 8 hours: preparation in the hotel (Adlon, Ritz-Carlton, Hotel de Rome), transfer to Berlinale Palast, the premiere, then dinner or after-party at Borchardt or Grill Royal. The model — full-length dress, restrained jewellery, experience of public events. For the after-party sometimes a continuation on the Soho House rooftop or at Pauly Saal.
Berlinale Palast (Theater am Potsdamer Platz)
Marlene-Dietrich-Platz 1
The principal venue of the Berlin International Film Festival. Premieres, the red carpet, the main competition. Accompaniment at premieres is a separate scenario, agreed 2 to 4 weeks before the festival. The ticket is on the client's side; …
Hotel Adlon Kempinski Berlin
Unter den Linden 77
A legendary hotel opposite the Brandenburg Gate. A restored classic that remains the principal Mitte address for state guests, Berlinale film figures and old money. The Lorenz Adlon Esszimmer restaurant — two Michelin stars. Our base pick f…
The Ritz-Carlton Berlin
Potsdamer Platz 3
On Potsdamer Platz, in the epicentre of Berlinale. Modern premium tier, the Curtain Club bar with the right vintage atmosphere, the POTS restaurant with contemporary German cooking. Convenient for clients in town for the festival or busines…
Restaurant Borchardt
Französische Straße 47
German, French, bistro
The principal Mitte restaurant for politicians, media and film figures. The classic Wiener Schnitzel — the place's signature. Live atmosphere, tables tight, someone always recognises someone. For a business or cultural dinner "in Berlin's o…
Grill Royal
Friedrichstraße 105b
Steaks, seafood
On the Spree embankment, a cult address of Berlin's media and art scene. Properly aged steaks, oysters, a long bar. After midnight — the city's strongest late-night dinner. For an after-Berlinale-premiere evening — the standard.
Hotel de Rome
Behrenstraße 37
Rocco Forte brand, the building of the former 19th-century Dresdner Bank. The most aristocratic atmosphere among Berlin's five-stars. Bebel Bar — one of the city's best hotel bars, the La Banca rooftop with a view over Bebelplatz. Suits whe…
Tip:
agree 2 to 4 weeks before the festival; same-day is almost not realistic for finding a premium-segment model for this scenario
Dinner in Mitte
The most frequent Berlin scenario. Borchardt, Grill Royal, Rutz, Tim Raue, Pauly Saal — we hold direct contacts with the maître d's. A 3-5 hour format: meeting at the restaurant or at the hotel lobby, dinner, sometimes a continuation at the bar (Bebel Bar at Hotel de Rome, Curtain Club at the Ritz-Carlton, Soho House rooftop). The model arrives ahead of time and waits at the agreed point.
Restaurant Borchardt
Französische Straße 47
German, French, bistro
The principal Mitte restaurant for politicians, media and film figures. The classic Wiener Schnitzel — the place's signature. Live atmosphere, tables tight, someone always recognises someone. For a business or cultural dinner "in Berlin's o…
Grill Royal
Friedrichstraße 105b
Steaks, seafood
On the Spree embankment, a cult address of Berlin's media and art scene. Properly aged steaks, oysters, a long bar. After midnight — the city's strongest late-night dinner. For an after-Berlinale-premiere evening — the standard.
Restaurant Rutz
Chausseestraße 8
Modern German, fine dining
Three Michelin stars, the only one of its kind in Berlin. Chef Marco Müller, tasting sets of 4 to 6 hours, wine pairings from one of Germany's finest sommeliers. For a first impression of Berlin — a top pick.
Restaurant Tim Raue
Rudi-Dutschke-Straße 26
Author's Asian
Two Michelin stars, the author's Asian cooking of chef Tim Raue. Intimate room, strong design, focus on flavour without decorative excess. For clients with a gastronomic background — a mandatory point in Berlin.
Pauly Saal
Auguststraße 11-13
Modern German, fusion
In the building of a former Jewish school, next to the Auguststraße gallery quarter. Designer-led interior, modern cooking, rooftop bar with a view over Mitte. Atmosphere closer to the art scene than to a business dinner.
Hotel de Rome
Behrenstraße 37
Rocco Forte brand, the building of the former 19th-century Dresdner Bank. The most aristocratic atmosphere among Berlin's five-stars. Bebel Bar — one of the city's best hotel bars, the La Banca rooftop with a view over Bebelplatz. Suits whe…
Tip:
a table at Borchardt and Grill Royal — book 1-2 weeks ahead; Rutz and Tim Raue — 4-6; multiply for Berlinale
Evening in Charlottenburg
For clients who prefer "West Berlin" classicism without the noise of Mitte. Base — Waldorf Astoria in City West, from there the evening: classical restaurants on Kurfürstendamm, upper-floor bars with a view, an unhurried late dinner. A less fashionable format, more "calm refinement". Suits guests who value European classicism over contemporary Mitte.
Waldorf Astoria Berlin
Hardenbergstraße 28
A high-rise in Charlottenburg, City West. Premium-format Hilton/Waldorf brand, strong spa on the upper floors, Lang Bar in the style of classic American cocktail bars. Convenient for clients based in West Berlin or working with KaDeWe and K…
Tip:
Friday evening in Charlottenburg is quieter than Mitte — that's a plus for an intimate format; taxi to Mitte is 15-20 minutes if the scenario mixes both
Weekend in Potsdam and Wannsee
From 24 to 48 hours. A daytime programme in Potsdam (Sanssouci, Cecilienhof, the centre), lunch in Potsdam, evening — back to Berlin (Das Stue in Tiergarten — a convenient "in-between" hotel), dinner in Mitte, the night. The next day — Wannsee or Müggelsee in summer, or a walk in Tiergarten in winter. The model accompanies throughout: breakfast, activities, evening.
Potsdam, Sanssouci
Maulbeerallee, Potsdam
Sanssouci palace and park in Potsdam, 35 to 40 minutes from central Berlin. A daytime programme: palace, park, lunch at Cecilienhof or one of the central Potsdam restaurants. Return to Berlin in time for dinner. The standard "weekend" or "d…
Das Stue
Drakestraße 1
A boutique hotel in Tiergarten, in the building of the former Danish embassy. Quiet, designer-led, with its own Michelin restaurant. Suits clients who prefer a "secret hotel" format — no big-brand publicity, but the same level of service.
Client's Private Location
A scenario where the client organises the meeting in their own flat, at a rented villa in Wannsee or Potsdam, on a yacht on Müggelsee, in a private members club. For returning clients — agreed without further checks; for new ones, the first…
Tip:
agreed 5 to 7 days ahead; for the summer variant with Wannsee — we organise a boat or a table at a waterside restaurant in advance; the winter variant is shorter, no water section
Business Evening in Tiergarten
The business format for clients working in the diplomatic circuit, embassies, NGOs. Base — Das Stue in Tiergarten or Regent on Gendarmenmarkt. A quiet dinner, minimum publicity, dress code strictly smart elegant. The model — English and German at the level of business conversation, an understanding of negotiation etiquette, a neutral look.

Tip:
for a first format like this we agree the details deeper than usual — the business context, the dress code, topics for small talk; the model arrives prepared
Fashion Week and Art Events
January and July — Berlin Fashion Week, plus regular openings in the Auguststraße gallery quarter and Gallery Weekend in April. Format: a show or opening, then dinner at Pauly Saal or on the Soho House rooftop, a continuation in the designer bars of Mitte or Kreuzberg. The model — art casual, designer pieces, restrained makeup, an understanding of the industry.
Soho House Berlin
Torstraße 1
A members-only club in the building of a former department store in Mitte. Rooftop bar, restaurant, spa, cinema. The principal members format in Berlin for the creative industry, media and fashion. Accompaniment is possible only with your m…

Tip:
Soho House requires your membership; for gallery openings the dress code is softer, but "no piling on the sparkle" stays the rule
Client's Private Locations
When the client has their own place — a rented villa in Wannsee or Potsdam, a flat in Mitte or Charlottenburg, a yacht on Müggelsee, a private members club. For a first meeting with a new client we usually suggest one of our proven options; for returning clients — your address is agreed without further questions.
