Hotel

WWelcome to The Knast – where today, you choose to spend the night behind bars. Once a women’s prison in Berlin-Lichterfelde, the listed historic building is now an adults-only hotel for those looking for something beyond the ordinary. Where life was once confined, today it is free to unfold within these very walls.

Close the cell door and disappear for a while. Open it and see what happens. There’s room for privacy and intimacy, for encounters and art, for long evenings and nights that have a habit of lasting a little longer. And sometimes, the best thing about doing time is knowing you don’t have to leave in the morning.
