Escape the scorching sun, swamped lakes, and sticky Berlin streets. Slip into a cool, soundproofed, overnight sanctuary, naturally insulated against the sizzling summer heat. Plunge into the crisp, bubbling waters of your very own mini pool. Here, the vibe is shadowy, the drinks are cold, and the night belongs entirely to you.
This fully soundproofed, sunblocked cocoon is yours to play with. Fill the generous 1.80×1.80m whirlpool jacuzzi with crisp, cool water for a private indoor plunge while the city swelters outside. Or, if a sudden summer storm rolls in, dial up the heat and draw a steaming hot bubble bath while lightning whips across the Berlin sky. Behind our thick walls and blackout curtains, the weather doesn’t dictate your vibe, you do.
ABSOLUTE INTIMACY
75m2 of absolute intimacy awaits beyond blackout curtains and sweaty strangers. So shut out the crowds, repel the blistering sun, and embrace your lover. Here, ambient lightscapes, cool shadows, and chilled drinks offer up pure, undisturbed connection.
IF YOU WANNA BE MY LOVER…
Looking for the best way to turn up the temperature for your lover without giving them heatstroke? Gift them a voucher for the ultimate sexy summer surprise: a night at The Circle, where you can make them sweat and cool them down in all the right ways. Birthdays and anniversaries are also covered this season with one of our curated gift vouchers ;) There’s no excuse for forgetful, fried brains!
The Circle Berlin is the result of a night once spent in an unexpected place and an idea that couldn’t be shaken. The idea to create a space for intimacy without pressure; a place to laugh and explore; somewhere that fostered connection and play in a world that is full of disconnection and noise. And so The Circle was born, with the imagination of filmmaker and journalist minds, and the artistry of interior architect Felix Pahnke. It’s a whimsical, discreet, playful retreat in Berlin. A space where we’ve provided the playground and you define the rules.
Every booking to The Circle includes hair & body care products from Sweden’s L:A Bruket; a hairdryer and towels. You will also gain full access to our 75 sqm landscape, which has been divided into three distinct spaces:
The bedroom resplendent with four poster bed and mirrored paravent;
The kitchen, dining, and chill out area facing a large TV screen and modular seating area; and
The private spa, featuring an 180x180 cm whirlpool with massage jets, heated lounge steps installed with 2 womanizer shower heads, and a rainfall shower with additional, optimally placed water jets.
See our Terms & Conditions for a full overview of the contractual obligations between The Circle and its guests. Below, you’ll find a summary of the most important house rules:

The Circle is slap bang in the middle of Berlin’s Kreuzberg! We literally couldn’t have found a better place to create an intimate cocoon for you.
Since we’re in the heart of the city’s hustle and bustle, we’ve taken a lot of measures to ensure you’re protected from the outside world, including new soundproofed windows, ceilings, and floors. As our house rules state, despite these, please do remain respectful of the neighborhood so we can continue to offer you a wonderful experience!
