Alt-Moabit 99 · 10559 Berlin · Directions from where you are
Four-star, on the Spree. It is Moabit, not Mitte — Saturday's group dinner in Mitte is a short U-Bahn hop. 1.6 km / ~13 min walk to Berlin Hbf for Sunday's 17:37 ICE; Bellevue S-Bahn is 5 min away and the S9 runs direct to BER.
Reeperbahn 36 · 20359 Hamburg · Directions from where you are
Hotel-and-hostel on the Reeperbahn itself — you fall out of the door onto the strip, which is the point on Sunday night. Check-in Sun 13 from 16:00, check-out Tue 15 by 11:00. Warning: arriving after 21:00 on check-in day requires calling the hotel first or the booking can be cancelled — the ICE lands at 19:25, so go straight there and drop bags before dinner.
13 Blaubach · 50676 Köln · Directions from where you are
Altstadt-Süd — 2 rooms for 7 · +49 221 1653039. The brauhaus loop and Kölsch in 0.2L stangen are a walk away. Self check-in: we arrive ~19:00 and the window closes at 00:00. Cars go into the Waidmarkt public underground garage, 300 m from the hotel, open 24 hours — entrance at Blaubach 1.
Schlossackerweg 3 · Neuweier, 76534 Baden-Baden · Directions from where you are
Originally the estate building and wine cellar of the Upper Castle, rebuilt in 2015 as a country-house hotel — vineyards on every side in the Rebland. Dinner in the house restaurant with local wines and a 500-year-old vaulted cellar, so no DD is needed. Check-in Wed 16 Sep after the afternoon in Baden-Baden, check-out Thu 17. Baden-Baden and its thermal baths are 8 km away for a Thursday-morning soak before the drive.
Arnulfstr. 4 · 80335 München · Directions from where you are
On the north face of München Hbf. Friday's S2 to Dachau leaves from under your feet, and the Sixt drop at Arnulfstr. 16/18 is next door on the same street. Checks out Saturday morning, before the Wiesn.
Berlin Brandenburg Airport · Directions from where you are
The last night, right at the airport — minutes from the terminal for Sunday's staggered departures. Alex is not here — he stays in Munich Saturday night and flies MUC → DEN on Sunday, and he is sorting that room himself.
