The Curtain Club is like a gateway that allows its guests to travel back to the high society of the golden 20s. The evening begins punctually at 6 p.m. with a champagne tower for the hotel guests. With this ritual, the curtains of the Curtain Club open and both hotel guests and external visitors can enjoy the hotel’s cocktail bar, designed from front to back in Art Deco style. Not only the interior, but also the cocktail menu is curated with attention to detail for the 1920s. With specially created black and white videos, which can be accessed via QR code, it offers an impressive selection of sophisticated cocktails with exciting twists, à la Great Gatsby for signature drinks. Every taste is catered for here, and if guests are unable to decide, the waiters are on hand to offer sound recommendations. The bar is given a personal touch by the fact that each waiter has created their own gin, which is served under their name and with their own branded gin bottle. In addition, live music from 9 pm from Tuesday to Saturday with changing artists and music styles provides an authentic Gatsby experience.
Guests also have the option of ordering food from the hotel’s restaurant or snacks from the bar menu until 10 pm. The selection ranges from upscale German cuisine with Sylt oysters and beef tartare to currywurst, Königsberger Klopse and other delicacies. In keeping with the interior design, the Curtain Club also remains true to its 1920s motto when it comes to cutlery and glasses.
A pleasant surprise is the separate cigar room, which is so cleverly integrated into the hotel’s architecture that it resembles a speakeasy and can only be found by those who already know where it is, or by those who are pointed out to it by the waiters. This means that smokers, who have now been pushed out of most bars, do not have to go out into the cold air to pursue their hobby, but can move from the Curtain Club to the well-ventilated cigar room at any time in the classically furnished gem with its fine leather sofas, paintings and an impressive selection of cigars without having to give up their table.
The Curtain Club is suitable for anyone who wants to spend a classically elegant evening in the middle of Berlin. Especially for those who enjoy exquisite cocktail creations and want to be transported back to the golden 20s for a few hours.
