donderdag 14 februari 2013
It's always amazing the way that new concepts continually revolutionize traditional ideas. Plus One Berlin is one of these new concepts.
Ethical Fashion Show Berlin
donderdag 17 januari 2013
January is one of Berlin’s months for mode, with events popping up the length and bredth of the city in honour of Fashion Week. Whilst Tempelhof may be the setting for Bread and Butter and the Brandenburg Tor the spot for the high end glitz of the upmarket brands, there are other parts of the city showcasing design for all tastes.
Dialogue Books
maandag 7 januari 2013
Filling your suitcase with English language books may not be top of your to do list for your Berlin stay at Miniloft, but that doesn’t mean you can’t squeeze in a spot of browsing along the way. Those venturing down Kreuzberg way for the Turkish market on Maybachufer are just a stones throw away from Dialogue Books, a haven for the literary minded.
Charité
zaterdag 29 december 2012
Located a stone's throw from Miniloft is the world-renowned Charité hospital.
Transmediale 2013
woensdag 19 december 2012
The early months of the New Year may seem like prime time for Berlin hibernation, but it’s just the season for us at Miniloft to make the most of the city’s cultural highlights. Straddling January and February, and connecting the many dots between art, culture and technology the transmediale 2013 (http://www.transmediale.de/) festival always promises a special few days for the 20,000 strong media art professionals, artists and activists who make their annual pilgrimage to the Haus der Kulturen der Welt.

Bread and Butter Winter 2013
donderdag 13 december 2012
Fashion in Berlin has been a slow build, with the city often languishing below London, Paris and Milan. In recent years though, Berlin’s presence on the global style stage has been subject to it’s very own makeover. The bi-annual Mercedes Benz Fashion week is Berlin’s acknowledgement to high end and high concept design. But haute couture & up-and-coming ateliers are not the only ones represented in Berlin’s twice-yearly fashion and design extravaganza.
Literature Fest 2012
maandag 3 september 2012
For those of us who don’t head back to school anymore in the fall, the annual International Literature Festival is a welcome intellectual pick-me-up after summer’s lazy lounging. The feast of readings and events is celebrating its twelfth year, with the usual bounty of amazing authors from around the world.
Komische Oper
zondag 29 juli 2012
Miniloft-gasten krijgen 10% korting in de gouden Komische Oper, de mooiste van de drie operagebouwen in Berlijn (vooral nu de Staatsoper een jarenlange renovatie ondergaat). Dit jaar hebben ze een nieuwe regisseur, de Australiër Barrie Kosky, vroeger bij Schauspielhaus Wien. Dit seizoen start met een 12 uur lange marathon van de drie complete opera’s van Monteverdi. Het is voor het eerst dat de werken achter elkaar worden opgevoerd. Onder de andere hoogtepunten zijn 12 nieuwe producties, waaronder drie premières; een Kurt Weill festival in januari (dit wordt goed!) en Mozart in mei.
