A nice fireplace and backgammon board is what we conjure up when someone drops the members-only-men’s-club card. But apparently we have low expectations. How about secret spinning doors hidden in the wall, an Italian room, a hunter’s room, a living room and conference room and overflowing champage? These are the amenities offered to members of the the stylish but down-to-earth Münzsalon, located in a luxurious 19th century apartment. The style: British traditional with abundant Berlin influence.

As a member you can host conferences as well as parties in a very exclusive setting. Or just meet friends for an intimate meeting. Regular club evenings take place throughout the week and include readings, lectures and film screenings. How do I apply?
