WIRTSCHAFTSWUNDER
The transformation of a previous bank building into an exciting hostel experience.
Alletto Hotel & Hostel Ku-damm // This youth hostel opened in a listed building, a beautiful example of 1950s architecture, with many original features. West Berlin's diverse history and post-war optimism were used as a concept for the refurbishment. The transformation of a previous bank building into an exciting hostel experience is an education for school classes visiting the capital and an introduction to the post-war years. Inspired by the era's youth culture, "Lebensfreude", and the beginning of rock 'n' roll, furniture, colours and materials were combined to create an all-embracing late 1950's atmosphere.
There is lots of chrome, kidney shaped tables and garden swings on the rooftop terrace. The ground floor bar evokes the feel of an american diner.
SPECIAL FEATURE : One could believe the building had always been a hotel but nobody had told you about it.
