Like many other clubs in the city, it was established in the bones of an old and out-of-use building (in this case, a former Deutsche Demokratische Republik kindergarten), and hosts primarily house and techno artists for its music. It has an extensive outdoor space with a lush garden that has become a staple for queer partying and cruising. While not an explicitly queer establishment, it has a place in Berlin’s queer party culture and has been known to host queer events and parties put on by community organizations and collectives.

Title A name given to the resource ART Hotel Connection Subject The topic of the resource Hotel Description An account of the resource The ART Connection Hotel is a boutique hotel in Schöneberg that is open for the queer community and is tolerant of all people. It is centrally located to the rest of the popular queer spots in Berlin. It has a friendly atmosphere, is dog friendly, and is an LGBTQ+ hotel. It was previously a building of rentable rooms with the first floor being a club, and has since been transformed into what it is today—a small hotel on the third floor of the building. The first floor of the building that this hotel is in is Prinzknecht, a club exclusively for gay men. The building was built in 1910 and in 1928 another floor was added to it. In 1974, "Chez Romy Haag" was opened on the first floor and then sold in 1983. The Connection Club was then opened in 1989 in the same location and was a popular queer space. It seems that this space (specifically the third floor) has held temporary accommodations since the 1960s. In April 1999, the "Männerkneipe Prinzknecht" opened on the first floor of the hotel and is one of the most well-known meeting place for queer folks in the city. In 2009, the hotel was sold to new management and became the boutique hotel that it is today. It was the only hotel managed by folks from the queer community in West Berlin before the wall fell. Today it is a nice, welcoming space for all queer folks.

The space opened in 1922, first catering to elite straight men, then from 1922-1933 the space transformed into a flourishing lesbian oasis, making lesbians the main clientele. It had a "hot, weird, loud" atmosphere, full of young women in men's clothing (and mixed male and female clothing), with a "Japanese Cherry Blossom" theme, paper lanterns, red sofas lining the walls, and crude erotic cartoons drawn on the walls in green and black. The entertainment in the club: "Upbeat, contemporary dance music played on piano by eccentric former Russian prince. A female lead-dancer performs solo pieces."

Title A name given to the resource Axel Hotel Berlin Subject The topic of the resource Hotel Description An account of the resource This is a hotel aimed at members of the LGBTQ+ community and is advertised as a "hetero-friendly hotel." In Berlin, it is known as "the Grindr hotel" and is an adults-only hotel. It is located in Schöneberg, which is considered to be the center of queer culture in Berlin. The hotel's motto is as follows: "Without judgment or prejudice," which applies to all branches of the hotel. According to their reviews, the clientele is mainly younger men and the wellness (or spa) area is clothing optional cruising area. According to one reviewer, "The answer to ‘does [insert activity] happen?’ the answer is yes." Their websites states that Axel Berlin is "a temple of rebelliousness. An elegant and majestic building where passion becomes a sacred act of connection and discovery. Diversity is not only respected; it is celebrated without fear or shame. And freedom is a right that is acquired when coming through the door." It is part of a chain of hotels that opened its first hotel in 2003 in Barcelona and now has many locations. The Berlin location is Berlin's most iconic and famous gay hotel and accommodates mostly gay men but is welcoming to all.
