Wil7 is a boutique hotel shaped by the spirit and history of Berlin itself. Located on Wilhelmstraße 7 in Berlin-Kreuzberg, our home sits within a classic Gründerzeit building that has witnessed the city’s many transformations. Originally constructed in the late 19th century and restored in 2016, its elegant facade and generous windows reflect a time when Berlin was rapidly growing and redefining itself.

But the story of this address goes even further back. Long before the current structure took shape, Wilhelmstraße was a lively location of industry and community life during the early days of Berlin’s industrialization. In the 18th century, enterprises like cotton weaving and printing helped shape the neighborhood’s character, and buildings here once housed workers, families and schools that supported them.

Today, the street carries Berlin’s layered history — from artisan workshops to elegant townhouses — into the present. Our hotel honors this legacy by preserving the original charm of the building while offering a refined and contemporary stay.

We are a small, international team united by a shared love for Berlin and for genuine hospitality. Being small allows us to keep things personal — attentive communication, warm interactions, and a sincere interest in every guest’s experience.
