Clärchens Ballhaus | Steward

Clärchens Ballhaus

The historic Berlin institution turns 111 Fall 2024, and for this reason opens its magical doors in a fresh new light. Inside, a beautiful restaurant will emerge, telling the stories of the past decades and guiding guests through traditional German cuisine with a flair. Additionally, the historic Spiegelsaal and the Private Dining Room in the conservatory will be lovingly awakened from their winter slumber and made available to guests from near and far to continue the tradition of spectacular parties and dance.
