Viva Con Agua opens New Hotel in Berlin: A social milestone!

Hammerbrook, Deutschland - In Hamburg there are some news to report that should move the "Viva con Agua" fans in particular. In the Hammerbrook district, the non -profit organization \ “Viva con Agua \” opened its first hotel, the “Villa Viva”. But the start was anything but smooth. As the mopo , the guests only remained two nights, the offers of the hotel were barely used, and several employees have already been used: Wanted. Despite this bumpy beginnings, boss Benny Adrion has great visions for the future.

Adjusted to the challenges in Hamburg after almost a year, Adrion is now looking at Berlin, where a new exciting project is being created. The "Villa Viva Holzmarkt" is built in the creative wooden market district on the Spree. This location could very much attract the audience, because Christoph Klenzendorf, managing director of the wooden market, emphasizes the social responsibility of the new project. At a press conference on July 17, 2025, it was announced that the new hotel will offer a total of 155 rooms and will be opened in 2027.

a social vision

What makes this hotel project so special? On the one hand, the overnight stays in Camping Ground are already available for less than 20 euros per night. This price category primarily addresses socially committed travelers and people with narrower budgets. The operator of the new hotel, Viva con Agua de Sankt Pauli e.V., pursues clear social goals with his construction. The association was founded in 2006 by Benedikt Adrion to provide people worldwide access to clean drinking water and sanitary facilities. This is also supported by the information in the annual reports of the organization, which always report transparently about income and expenditure, including the significant sums that went into projects in 2021.

At the same time, it is noteworthy that investors are willing to provide capital without having a return expectation. Alexander Pätzold, the architect of the wooden market, sees the vision of making the hotel a social hub. A place is created here that wants to offer more than just overnight stays. The project is the next step in a long series of developments in the region from 2013 to 2017, which have already taken place as a collaboration between cooperative members, the evening red and the environmental bank.

challenges in the city

in Hamburg is therefore an exciting spectacle of the opposites when new hotels are suddenly stamped out of the ground in a city that suffers from a lack of lack of living space. But with a clear social focus and the possibility that committed people will get together for a good goal, this could actually be the way to make a hotel sustainable. But the challenges remain and the focus remains on how the situation will develop for both the Hammerbrooker Hotel and the new project in Berlin.
