The essentials for a work trip
| Need | Where to look | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Meeting room by the hour | Serviced-office operators (for example Regus or WeWork) in Mitte and Potsdamer Platz | Book online, ask about the screen, video call set-up and coffee |
| Business hotel | Mitte, Potsdamer Platz, Charlottenburg, near the central station | Ask for a room with a desk and the "Tagungsraum" |
| A desk only | Coworking with a day pass | See coworking and remote work in Berlin |
| Arrival | BER airport, central station | The train links the airport to the centre in about thirty minutes |
Meeting rooms by the hour
A room rented by the hour suits meetings of four to twelve people. Compare three things: the real capacity, the video-conference kit (screen, camera, microphone) and access, because a room close to an S-Bahn or U-Bahn station avoids delays. Ask about the cancellation deadline too. Coworking spaces often have phone booths for short calls. For a trade fair or a congress, see instead the calendar of Berlin trade fairs 2027.
Business hotels and Wi-Fi
Many four-star hotels have a meeting room and free Wi-Fi, but the speed is never guaranteed for a video call: ask before booking. The areas of Mitte, Potsdamer Platz and those around the central station are the handiest for chaining meetings on foot or by metro. Choose a flexible rate if your schedule may change. A German SIM or eSIM is a good backup: see SIM card and eSIM in Berlin.
Getting there and around
From BER airport, regional trains reach the central station and Alexanderplatz in about thirty minutes; see BER airport and Berlin transport. Taxis wait at the exit, but the train is more reliable at rush hour. Business meals are covered in the business dinner in Berlin.
