At the four-star Mercure Checkpoint one resides in a gorgeous Wilhelminian-style building from 1886 located close to Checkpoint Charlie at the former border in Berlin. The building was built by Aldo Rossi in 1992 as part of the Quartier Schützenstrasse - one of the most renowned buildings of the post-communist period in Berlin.
Among the buildings at Schützenstrasse 8 is the heritage building with a reconstructed facade of the Palazzo Farnese in Rome. The famous architect and proponent of Postmodernism Aldo Rossi tragically passed away one day before the official inauguration of the facade.
The Mercure Hotel & Residenz Berlin Checkpoint Charlie offers 139 rooms and suites. With the Friedrichstrasse and the Gendarmenmarkt within walking distance the Mercure is a hideaway in the busy street life of this area.
Since 1998 the hotel is run by Mercure. The operator Accor assigned us to restore the rooms and the lobby between 2015 and 2016 during running operations. Planning and design were developed by Viki Kitzig of Kitzig Interior Design, Bochum, who was already commissioned on other Mercure-projects such as sites in Munich and at Wittenbergplatz, Berlin.
