Estrel Berlin

Berlin ’ s global player for exhibitions , congresses and extra-large events

T he inspiring success of the Estrel Berlin is the story of a unique and visionary entrepreneur , Ekkehard Streletzki . Utilising conceptual models from the US , Streletzki continues to successfully realise his vision in creating Europe ’ s largest hotel , congress and entertainment centre .

Located 13 kilometres from Berlin ’ s new major airport , in one of the world ’ s hippest city districts , the property offers quick access to the downtown areas of Germany ’ s most exciting metropolis .
Today , the Estrel Berlin is among the top international players when it comes to large and extra-large events . 30,000sqm of event space , an Estrel show theatre , restaurants , bars and 1,125 hotel rooms lend a completely new dimension to the claim ‘ all under one roof ’.
The event area of the Estrel Congress Center ( ECC ) contains two convention halls , each with capacity for 5,000 guests . Additionally , the 2021 construction of a 5,000sqm new complex that includes an auditorium for almost 800 guests and ten new meeting rooms , all comprise the centrepiece of the venue .
There is state-of-the-art technology and cost advantages through in-house expertise for all event requirements .
The new auditorium with its 48sqm LED screen , special acoustic walls and numerous function rooms , is ideally positioned for the digital future . Offering a fibre optic network with broadband internet , streaming encoders for hybrid events and remote cameras , all rooms can be connected via video and network . With permanently installed laser projectors , screens ,
AES-encrypted microphones and state-of-the-art lighting technology , events can be staged quickly and with minimal effort for set-up and dismantling . Clients are free to access the sophisticated technology at any time , saving in turn the high costs for external service providers . Congresses with exhibitions , as well as exhibitions with accompanying content sessions , will benefit from the extremely flexible function space concept .
And the story continues ... Soon to be the capital ’ s new landmark , the 176-metre Estrel Tower is currently under construction . A unique mix of hotel , serviced apartments , offices , creative spaces , sky bar with an outdoor terrace and much more , the Tower will be seamlessly connected to the ECC by an underground walkway .
