Add The Michelberger to Our 'Worst Hotel Rooms For Drunk People' List

Where: Warschauer Strauss 39/40, Berlin, Germany, 10243

Remember our list of the Worst Hotel Rooms for Drunk People? Yes, well: just as we were reminiscing about our fantastically blurry, buzzed and stumble-y weekend, we came across photos of Berlin's new Michelberger Hotel on Contemporist. And as we gazed at the pics of these rooms, the party girl alter-ego inside of us, well...she cried.

The 119-room hotel is on its way to Berlin and is slated for a September opening. Contemporist says:

Five different room categories offer a range of different layouts. The rooms display a high level of space efficiency and lots of vertical drama and airiness - a feat allowed by the placing of loft bed areas above the bathrooms. Most rooms are for singles, couples and threesomes but other options including The Big One allow groups of 4 or even more to room together.

East Germany Is Hot Again!

Where: Wriezener Karree, 5, Berlin, Germany, 10243

Why can't hotels just be hotels these days? You know...places to lay your head, eat some good food, possibly get a massage and be mildly entertained by the box-office stinkers that you order from the hotel TV's movies-on-demand system?

Nope, not anymore. Hotels are routinely trying to best each other with new services (did anyone say "Gladiator Lessons"?), new amenities, and funky design.

One Berlin hotel, the Hotel Ostel, has really gone overboard by essentially recreating East Germany and all of the trappings of Communist living. No, we're not kidding you.
