Moving… just keep moving

18. April 2013 in Circus News by Paul

With the sound of Supergrass in our ears, the back office team from The Circus moved offices yesterday, which means the finance, design, events and communication departments of the company, as well as three of the managing partners, have a new home in an old workshop building on Brunnenstraße – just a short hop and skip away from the hostel and hotel on Rosenthaler Platz. As you can see from the pictures the new space is very much a work in progress, although the fact that you are reading this is testament to the great organizational work of the team that got the Circus Ministry for Communications up and running first thing this morning. Once all the boxes are empty and everything is smooth again we will post some more pictures and introduce you to the “behind the scenes” team, but for now we hope you enjoy a glimpse of how we arrived in our new home.

Into the second courtyard…

Café Conversations at The Circus Hostel

15. April 2013 in Berlin, Circus Hostel, Circus News, Circus Talks, History by Paul

Cafe Conversations

Tomorrow evening sees the start of a new series of events at The Circus Hostel, that is tied into our current monthly programme of Circus Talks that takes place across the road at The Circus Hotel. In a couple of weeks we will be welcoming the next of our “Eyewitnesses” to Fabisch (keep an eye out here on the blog for details) but our new event brings one of Brewer’s Berlin Tours expert guides to the café to talk about a particular period in the city’s history. Tomorrow the topic of the talk is The Rise of the Third Reich, and it promises to be an informative and interesting evening.

As always at The Circus the event is free, and guests can also join us an hour earlier for free dinner as part of our daily “Dinner Time”.

The Kitchen in “Let’s Go Out” from Gestalten

10. April 2013 in Books, Circus Apartments, Circus News, Design by Paul

LetsGoOutCircus

We were extremely pleased and excited to find out that The Kitchen at The Circus Apartments – the ground floor café and lounge designed by our good friend Rani al Rajji – has been featured in the book “Let’s Go Out! Interiors and Architecture for Restaurants and Bars” published by Gestalten. Here’s what they say about their book:

“Let’s Go Out! presents engaging architecture and interior design for restaurants, bars, and clubs.

The pleasure we get from going out to eat, drink, and spend time together no longer just depends on the quality of food and beverages offered and the company we keep. Today, our level of enjoyment is also determined by how a location enables us to experience and share what we undertake. Consequently, more and more creatives are applying their talents to designing memorable atmospheres for the places we choose to meet.

Against this background, Let’s Go Out! is a stunning contemporary survey of extraordinary possibilities for going out from around the world. In addition to new interpretations of restaurants, bars, and clubs, the book documents striking temporary events, concept spaces, and installations.”

We are extremely proud to have been included in such a wonderful collection of spaces – and if you get a chance to flick through the 280-odd pages packed with beautiful pictures and lots and lots of inspiration.

13. März 2013 in Art, Berlin, Circus News, Events, Museum by Paul

longnightmuseums

This coming Saturday, the 16th March, is the next Long Night of the Museums here in Berlin. Twice a year over 70 museums open their doors throughout an evening to give a special glimpse of their exhibitions, through guided tours, interesting concerts, special performances and interactive workshops. There is loads to see and do, and actually the choice can be somewhat overwhelming… which is where Ally comes in.

Ally, our bartender and street art tour guide is our self-proclaimed art nerd, and she wants to take you on a unique trip through the Long Night of the Museums to give you a taste of Berlin’s fascinating culture. She will curate your evening for you, so you can let yourself be guided and be surprised at what she has in store.

Tickets for the Long Night of the Museums cost €18 (which includes all entry fees and public transport) and Ally will take you from the Circus and into the night. If you are interested in joining in, please let the reception know as there are limited places available. See you for some culture on Saturday!

English Channels and Champions League at the Hotel

6. März 2013 in Circus Apartments, Circus Hotel, Circus News by Paul

New telly

We know that the sun is shining, and even if it wasn’t there is so much to see and do in Berlin, but sometimes at the end of a day tramping the streets or in the morning after a night on the dancefloor, you just want to put your feet up and whack on the telly. Which is why we have recently upgraded our television package at the Circus Hotel to include two new English language channels – Fox (entertainment) and Sky Atlantic (with all your favourite HBO shows), as well as Sky Sports – which now means you can catch the Champions League and Europa League football, the English Premier League, as well as the Bundesliga, golf, Formula One and other sporting events in your hotel room. Sweet. And don’t forget, you can order from the Fabisch menu to be delivered to your room for no extra charge.

Meanwhile, over in the Circus Apartments, it is now possible to rent a Sky box for your apartment during your stay, which is packed full of international channels for your entertainment and information. So your apartments can feel even more like a home away from home.
