If the band are ever on tour in Berlin, the Michelberger Hotel is one of our favourite places to stay. It’s in the Friedrichshain district, close to the Oberbaum bridge. It’s an early-20th-century factory transformed into a boutique hotel by a co-operative that includes furniture designer Werner Aisslinger. The rooms are stylised to the point of absurdity, the designers delighting in incongruous decor. One room, Das Golden One, is comically obscene, with gold bedding, a gold en suite and a gold statue of a dog. Other rooms are festooned with bits of rope, bare flex and untreated wood.

There are art books and novels to flick through while you drink bison grass vodka with apfelschorle (fizzy water and apple juice). Much of the rest is inexplicable: the entrance to the hotel has a sign that says Honolulu, the Big Lebowski is on a loop in the hallways, and it serves its own brand of coconut juice. The whole place has a cheeky, scatterbrained sense of humour.
