Max Brown Ku'Damm
Tu’damm cool
Right by the boulevard
Budget boutique hotel Max Brown Ku’damm, part of Sircle Collection is a shot of colourful cool into the arm of Berlin’s leafy Charlottenburg. Inside, you’ll find copper pipes and exposed ducting muddled with mid-century furniture that’s spun through a bold, bright colour wheel. Hotel restaurant Benedict is similarly non-conformist, flying in the face of tradition by serving devilishly good breakfast. A wurst’s throw from the upmarket Kurfürstendamm boulevard, Max Brown is also close to some of the city's best boutiques; perhaps your room's Saar Zafrir interior will inspire you to hunt down a slice of Berlin design to call your own.
Food & Drink
Top Table
If the sun’s shining, take one of the tables outside on the street and watch the city in motion. Inside, there’s a set of half-moon booths up against the far wall, which give you a view across the room and the street outside.
Dress Code
Berlin has an almost city-wide cool-but-casual dress code, and Benedict is no different. Just don’t come down in your dressing gown…
Hotel Restaurant
Benedict is a bit of a rule-breaker. Here, breakfast is on the menu all day – and when we say all day, we mean it: this place is open round the clock. A neon sign hangs over the bar, bidding you Guten Morgen even if it’s darkest night. Like the rest of the lobby area, the look is half industrial, with exposed ducting and strips of naked bulbs running across the ceiling, and half organic, with parquet flooring, leafy-green wallpaper and potted plants. All manner of sweet and savoury breakfasts are available, ranging from North African to American to traditional German.
Hotel Bar
Benedict's wooden bar is a handsome affair with a strong vintage look to it: the bar and bar back are filled with small metal-handled drawers, giving it the look of 1950’s cabinetry. The drinks selection includes a range of brunch cocktails such as Cinnamotion, a medley of Kraken Black Spiced rum, apple juice, lime and home-made apple and cinnamon jam. There’s never been a better time to discover that cocktails and breakfast make very good bedfellows indeed.
Last Orders
Benedict is open between 8am and 11pm.
