Das Stue (“living room” in Danish) is a truly unique place, serving as the first luxury boutique hotel in Berlin. Housed in an elegant 1930’s building right in the city but surrounded by greenery and quiet, this gem of a hotel is like an urban retreat. Inside this magnificent place is a personal, intimate atmosphere where the staff addresses its patrons by name.
Destination Luxury was very fortunate to get to sit down with Alexander Doerr, the General Manager of the hotel, Das Stue in Berlin. With his impressive resume and proven expertise in management and hospitality, he graciously shared with us his insights of being a boutique-sized individual luxury hotel in a large, capital city.
DLX: So we saw that you started your first hotel internship at age 15. What led you to the hotel industry from such a young age?
Alexander Doerr: Actually only one thing: that you’re dealing with a lot of people; not only the guests but also colleagues and peers. This is something that makes it really unique for me. You meet so many different people every day, there’s so many things to do, and it’s never boring – really never, never boring....
With Audi making a statement in the luxury industry, Audi gave the S6 and S7 a refresh and we had the opportunity to experience the A6, S6 and S7 on a beautiful day in Malibu to drive the cars for ourselves for a car run along the winding roads up Malibu Canyons. A drive that was exciting enough to get F1 racers hearts pumping and smiles on their faces just from a daily driving car.
