Sarotti-Höfe, Gebäude der ehemaligen Schokoladenfabrik Sarotti in Berlin-Kreuzberg
Sarotti-Höfe is a hotel complex in Berlin housed in the buildings of a former chocolate factory. The site consists of several red brick buildings arranged around open courtyards and features a mix of historic elements like large factory windows and modern amenities for guests.
The history of Sarotti-Höfe begins in 1859 with a small house on Tempelhofer Straße and develops over decades into a large factory complex. The Sarotti chocolate factory was founded in 1868 and employed up to 1800 workers in the early 20th century before a fire in 1922 halted production and the company relocated its manufacturing.
The name Sarotti recalls the famous chocolate factory that operated here for over a century. Today, visitors use the courtyards as quiet gathering spaces, while the brick walls and old windows remind people of the site's industrial past.
The Höfe are easily accessible by public transport and located in an area with cafes and shops within walking distance. The quiet courtyards offer a pleasant escape from Berlin's busy streets and are safe to explore at any time of day or night.
The site was once renowned for high-quality chocolate distributed by train across Germany, and workers would have smelled cocoa in the air daily. Today, the visible dates 1868 and 1894 marked on the facades tell the story of that bygone era.
