Discover our neighborhood in Friedrichshain Berlin

Absolutely! You'll find the MEININGER Hotel Berlin East Side Gallery within the district of Friedrichshain, right next to the popular Warschauer Straße neighborhood and Kreuzberg; the center of East Berlin.

Staying at the MEININGER Hotel Berlin East Side Gallery equals: you being at the very heart of East Berlin and close to Berlin Ostbahnhof, from which you can easily explore the city's must-sees via its public transport. All you have to do is plan your next adventure and hop on a direct train to Friedrichsstraße, Brandenburger Gate or Potsdamer Platz.
Look no further than right across your room and you'll spot it in seconds: the famous East Side Gallery of Berlin itself. Step out of the MEININGER Hotel Berlin East Side Gallery and walk along this historical strip of the old Berlin Wall after the fall of which the reunification of East and West Germany happened and is now symbolized through this mural. It's been painted by over 100 different artists whose works are displayed on what's basically the longest open-air gallery in the world, stretching over 1,316 m in length! Have your camera ready because it's a great spot to snap some shots and make memories.

Tip: keep your eyes peeled for the most legendary art piece of the gallery dedicated to the notions of both unity and art: the painting of Leonid Brezhnev and Erich Honecker kissing created by Dmitri Vrubel.
So many things! You'll soon discover that the district of Friedrichshain is a multifaceted neighborhood which makes it everybody's cup of tea. It doesn't matter if you're traveling for business or pleasure, with company or by yourself; you'll love the location of the MEININGER Hotel Berlin East Side Gallery.

Are you looking for an introduction to the Berlin nightlife scene while trendy clubs with the latest techno/house/club music are your thing? You're in the right neighborhood: fresh vibes, Berlin parties and dancing are a just a short walk away. Do you have in mind a more relaxed, laid-back experience? Lucky you! Friedrichshain has another gorgeous side, as well. Visit the Volkspark Friedrichshain, an urban park with idyllic ponds and a 50-meter-long toboggan track where you can sled in the winter. Nearby, you'll spot the Urban Spree art gallery where works of art-representing the urban culture of Berlin and intending to foster peace within the community-are displayed. You can also find a multitude of thirst-quenching beer gardens and appetizing restaurants to try out.

Love shopping, eating and enjoying tasty beverages? Take a walk on Warschauer Straße which is close to the hotel and its mile-long stretch is studded with a variety of shops, cafés, bars and restaurants and treat yourself! Cross Warschauer Brücke and you'll be able to enjoy stunning views of the Uber Arena (formerly known as Mercedes Benz Arena)-a multi-purpose arena that sees 1.3 million visitors a year-, Berlin Ostbahnhof (Berlin East railway station) and the Berlin TV Tower in Alexanderplatz.

Absolutely! There's a secure paid parking garage (€17 per day) for you to use on-site. Just make sure to reserve your desired parking space in advance because there's only a specific amount of parking spots available.

MEININGER Hotel Berlin East Side Gallery
The name says it all

Between the Oberbaum bridge and Ostbahnhof is the longest remaining piece of the Berlin Wall, which was immortalized by over 100 East and West German artists after reunification. The street art of the "East Side Gallery" tells the story of the radical political change and reunification. 

Opposite the impressive open-air gallery, our hotel in Berlin Friedrichshain celebrates the exuberant lust for life that was felt in the early nineties. The graffiti and interior architecture of the property are reminiscent of new beginnings infusing MEININGER Hotel Berlin East Side Gallery with a positive and hopeful atmosphere.
