the year started off nicely // in the ARTotel, building work continued and the set up of the exhibition stand for the country of brandenburg for the green week was due to be completed
luckily, I had my great team and the wonderful ph that mastered it magnificently (I met my biggest joy....) //
what I just didn't want to miss was the opening //
but there were other reasons: Berlin and cosmo, the new designhotel, and, one may not believe it, friends *lol //
after the flight had to be postponed again and again – the ARTotel was just being approved and I couldn't just disappear – I landed in snowy Tegel late at night //
I like the old airport // it is annoying, it takes long but it is a true landmark // I hope it won't be torn down in the future like everything else is for nice new worlds of living // I was slightly terrified to find out that ikea produces houses now, as well // where is this to end // omg
now, off to the cosmo // „cosmo?" the taxi driver asked // yes, the new hotel of the design group // it was a bit difficult to find the entrance since the logos hadn't been fitted until then// but they have now
once you're in the hotel, you recognize warm, very inviting colors and that the fabrics used provide a sense of comfort // the service is ideal // I can recommend corner rooms //
the entrance hall is held in a nice classical white // I like the gimmick with the lights // not too fussed about the door etc.
the bathroom is close to perfect // very nice are the special shower gels – their packaging is made bio-degradable – big plus //
they will surely do some minor things in the bathroom like the shower partition and the frost foil on the window // apart from that, the bath is great and spacious // the whole room is very nice all in all, as well // it makes one feel comfortable // the view on 'old-berlin' is always nice to look at
I didn't do much after that apart from having dinner in the lobby and go to bed
//… almost forgot to tell that t and s were there, which was a highlight // always nice to speak to them // right afterwards, I attended the reception to the 'green week', the fair in Berlin
The next morning I had breakfast with t // the juices are great, I love the ginger tea // all in all, simply a very nice breakfast buffet that leaves no whishes open, apart from a bit of structure
Great pictures on the wall, the art is well selected, the open plan kitchen is a true eyecatcher //
What I didn't quite get were the light-objects and the table cloths, considering they have these great tables, but… ok.
After that, I had to go and do my rounds at the fair // the country's exhibitors, rosi from bavarian cheese, all of them were there //
Right after the fair, I went on to tegel to pick up w, with whom I went on to caras, to meet a very talented young designer, our vic // one of the few how really know what it means to make design // on top of that: a testing for a new sportsdrink (tasty!)
Then, I went back to the cosmo // again, liked the shower and the shower gel // in the evening I went to a grill with s, t and w // dinner as always
Especially great was the ‚after-grill' cardio workout // bmw & snow = zero; why are they from bavaria anyway??? Mhh// oh well, we made it back home ok // thx, as well on ground as in the air
Well, the rest of my time in berlin was pretty much as always // pure shopping // what's a highlight though: 'the firmakosmetikset':))))) see and feel / grrr
What else to report? Well, the fair was a success and the contract was continued // also, a good gin tonic, lv disarm appointment and so forth … talk to you soon, I have to go open a hotel
Take care.
