Halfway to Heaven

High above the rooftops of Berlin, the new club Puro Sky Lounge Bar has landed. It’s located on the 20th floor in the Europa-Center, one hundred meters above the Kurfürstendamm. Thanks to the fully glassed exterior walls, there is a 360° view of the city and hopefully a beautiful sunset too.
Guests can chill out and enjoy a cocktail or two in the South wing, where a fireplace and candlelight, lounge corners and islands invite to relaxation and breathing in of the city, in front of the huge windows. The north wing, with its white lounge corners, provides a framework for communicative evenings above the skyline of Berlin.
No food, only drinks and lot’s of lounging in its purest form. And Berlin litterally lies at your feet.

Romantic at San Nicci

Go and get romantic at San Nicci on Valentine’s Day!
This Italian venture of Roland Mary, owner of prestigious Berlin restaurants Borchardt and Pan Asia, is a perfect place for cozying up.
The ambience is relaxed and the interior has a classy and elegant feel, and makes it a lovely setting for the high quality, well priced food. Their traditional Italian cuisine will satisfy your taste buds and the wine list will probably entice you to pick something Italian.
A pasta dish for two, please.

Meet The Duke of Berlin

In the heart of Berlin and at the Ellington Hotel, you will find a handsome Duke. Modern, international and sophisticated but yet low-key, The Duke offers stylish business lunches, dinners in a relaxed atmosephere and sometimes cool, jazzy evenings where music is also in the menu.
The interior is open, modern and simple and all culinary creations are prepared in a show kitchen. The restaurant seats 92, but if you are looking for a more private atmosphere you can request a separate dining room, seating 12. The restaurant bar extends through the hotel to a grand conservatory, where you can relax beneath the open sky. Diners are also welcome to enjoy their meals here, choosing from a Mediterranean or Asian-inspired cuisine. And for the nightowls, there is a Late-Night Menu after 11pm.
