# 25hours Hotel Bikini Berlin – hip and urban

> The 25hours Hotel Bikini Berlin is a hip, design-forward hotel occupying part of the heritage-listed Bikini House between the Berlin Zoo and Breitscheidplatz, built around designer Werner Aisslinger's 'Urban Jungle' concept contrasting nature and urbanism.

## What to see
- **Jungle Rooms** — Rooms overlooking the Berlin Zoo, featuring natural materials, colors, and hammocks in the larger XL category.
- **Urban Rooms** — Rooms with a view of the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church on Breitscheidplatz, styled with an edgy urban design.
- **Lobby with Hammocks** — Reception area with hammocks and tongue-in-cheek décor, offering views of the Zoo and its orangutans.
- **Wall Art by Yoshi Sislay** — Witty wall letterings and drawings created by Japanese artist Yoshi Sislay throughout the hotel.

## What to do
- **Monkey Bar** — Rooftop bar on the top floor with a panoramic view over the Berlin Zoo and the city skyline.
- **Restaurant NENI** — Top-floor restaurant by Austrian gastronome Haya Molcho serving shared dishes with Israeli, Moroccan, Spanish, German, and Austrian influences.
- **In-house Bakery** — Hotel bakery offering smoothies and cake in the lobby area.
