n the banks of the river Spree, in the heart of the German city, the nhow Berlin has recently been opened, the world’s first ever music hotel. A hotel of this type could be nowhere else but in the epicentre of the creative and musical city scene: Berlin east side, where Universal and MTV stand, in addition to the city’s best clubs. The nhow Berlin bears – as though the novelty of the concept did not suffice – an important signature. The interiors have been designed by Karim Rashid: a triumph of colours and curves in clear contrast with the rigid, linear forms of the exterior, instead designed by architect Sergei Tchoban. The calendar for the hotel bar already features the world’s best DJ. The music manager deals with the sound of the rooms, all equipped with 100 radio stations, amplifier for iPod and more than 1000 music video clips on demand. The staff mainly consists of girls and boys from the city’s schools of music who, in addition to providing the services of a hotel, are also able to satisfy any type of musical curiosity. And the real novelty is the two recording studios positioned on the hotel rooftop and available to guests: top professional equipment chosen by René Rennefeld, manager of the legendary Berlin Hansa Studios (where U2 recorded much of Achtung Baby).
