Timeless Grandeur in the Heart of Berlin – Stay on Iconic Friedrichstrasse

Located in the absolute heart of Berlin, this exceptional apartment offers a rare combination of historic prestige, architectural beauty, and an unbeatable location. Just steps away from Checkpoint Charlie, this is one of the city’s most central addresses—perfect for discovering Berlin’s rich history, vibrant culture, and dynamic neighborhoods entirely on foot. With many of the capital’s iconic landmarks, museums, and attractions nearby, you’re never far from the action. Yet despite its prime location, the apartment is surprisingly peaceful, nestled just before a pedestrian-only zone that begins 200 meters away. This offers a serene retreat without sacrificing immediate access to the pulse of the city.

The apartment is set within one of Friedrichstrasse’s most remarkable and recognizable buildings. Built in 1895, this architectural masterpiece blends Neo-Gothic and Neo-Renaissance styles, standing as a proud symbol of southern Friedrichstrasse and the neighboring Kreuzberg district. In 2014, the building underwent a full restoration, thoughtfully combining historic grandeur with modern comfort. Its striking façade—now a protected national heritage site—has been lovingly preserved, showcasing the elaborate ornamental details that define Berlin’s late 19th-century architecture. Even more remarkable, this is the only building in the area that survived World War II entirely intact, making it not just beautiful but historically extraordinary.
Over the years, the house has played host to a fascinating cast of characters. From 1910 to 1990, it was the world headquarters of the legendary magician Conradi-Horster, turning the building into a creative hub for illusionists and stage performers across generations.

The spirit of enchantment still lingers in its walls. In 2006, when the property was offered for purchase to its tenants, an unexpected twist unfolded: while bankers and lawyers lined up, it was a single mother with two children who took a leap of faith—without the funds in hand—and successfully secured the building. Her extraordinary resolve gave rise to MyBerlinStyle, the brand that now welcomes guests from around the world to experience this singular piece of Berlin’s living history.

The apartment itself has been carefully curated to reflect this unique intersection of legacy and lifestyle. With enough space to comfortably accommodate up to 6 adults and 3 children, it’s an ideal setting for families, artists, professionals, or groups of friends seeking a more meaningful Berlin experience. Every aspect—from the thoughtfully arranged layout and tasteful furnishings to the quiet ambiance and subtle historical touches—has been designed to offer both comfort and authenticity. Here, you’re not just booking a stay; you’re becoming part of a story that continues to unfold.
Staying at this house means waking up in a Berlin landmark, stepping out into the most connected part of the city, and returning to the calm, inspiring charm of a place steeped in art, stories, and resilience. Whether you’re a filmmaker, historian, entrepreneur, or simply a curious traveler, this is more than just a place to rest—it’s a destination that inspires imagination and honors history.
