New Hotel Collection for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Travellers

Berlin stands for tolerance and openness. Together with the Berlin hotel industry, visitBerlin launched the pink pillow Berlin Collection in March 2013. This unique initiative is designed to support the attractiveness of capital as a destination for lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transsexuals. This new cooperative venture for gay and lesbian friendly hotels in Berlin that place a special emphasis on welcoming the community is one-of-a-kind. Each member hotel of the pink pillow believes that everyone has the right to be who they are and that every guest should feel safe and welcome. Meanwhile, the network consists of almost 50 Berlin hotels.
