Telegraphenamt

Hotel
(5 stars)

Steeped in history, Telegraphenamt is housed in Berlin’s former Telegraph office, which was considered Germany’s most sophisticated postal building. Its basement contained one of the largest pneumatic mail tube systems in Europe – revolutionising the way to deliver mail at the time. Spearheaded by renowned Berlin proprietor Roland Mary, the historically listed building was lovingly restored and modernised, reopening as Telegraphenamt in late 2022 to enrich the neighbourhoods around Hackesche Höfe, Auguststrasse and Torstrasse with its diverse offerings of culture, venue uses, and gastronomy.

The meticulously restored historic building boasts 97 charming rooms and maisonettes, ranging from 21 and 140 square meters, serving as retreats in the metropolis. Inspired by the Berlin of the 1920s, the building’s history and the current lifestyle of the city, the original building elements such as the columns, capped ceilings in the rooms and the exposed brick walls have been integrated into the modern interior design. Rooms facing Monbijoupark afford views of the TV Tower, the Berlin Cathedral, and the red City Hall. The seven maisonettes, with 14-feet high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows, offer an exceptional living space.

Telegraphenamt is also home to the destination restaurant ROOT. With a versatile offering, the ROOT menu has influences from across the globe, but with most of the ingredients being sourced locally. Behind the concept is the team of Roland Mary, who operates several restaurants in Berlin including the iconic Borchardt – a celebrity favourite, with past guests including George Clooney, Leonardo DiCaprio, Madonna, and Barack Obama. Guests can also enjoy bespoke cocktails at ROOT bar: where chic ambience meets eclectic cocktail art, and the hotel’s meeting and event spaces that have played backdrop to Berlin Fashion Week parties.
