The experience

It’s not just the imme­dia­te vici­ni­ty of the Bran­den­burg Gate. It’s not only the visio­na­ry con­s­truc­tion of Frank Gehry. And it’s not the modern cui­sine with a com­mit­ment to regio­nal pro­du­ce. It’s the inter­play of loca­ti­on, archi­tec­tu­re und the stan­dard we set for an event loca­ti­on that ensu­res a uni­que AXICA-experience.

Unique experiences need visionary places

the architecture

A place of encoun­ter has to reflect the trans­for­ma­ti­ve power that occurs when peo­p­le get tog­e­ther. Archi­tec­to­nic trail­bla­zer Frank O. Gehry mani­fes­ted this trans­for­ma­ti­on archi­tec­tu­ral­ly by con­s­truc­ting the DZ Bank – the buil­ding that hou­ses the AXICA event venue. Built in the 1990s in the imme­dia­te vici­ni­ty of the Bran­den­burg Gate, the Hotel Adlon and the Aca­de­my of Arts.

While the archi­tec­tu­re cap­tures the inher­ent chan­ge of a reu­ni­ted capi­tal, Gehry fur­ther­mo­re crea­ted a visio­na­ry monu­ment to postmodernism.
This is whe­re flowing lines with orga­­nic-see­­ming ele­ments meet sym­me­tric design. This is whe­re warm pine­wood paneling enters into playful ten­si­on with straight­for­ward glass constructions.

In that way a place of move­ment and flow was crea­ted who­se impres­si­on no one can with­draw from. AXICA’s lar­gest event space, the Forum, is distin­gu­is­hed by floa­ting glass sculp­tures by Niko­las Wein­stein, who is now inter­na­tio­nal­ly renow­ned for his uni­que glass art­works. Crea­ted in col­la­bo­ra­ti­on with Frank O. Gehry, the instal­la­ti­on at AXICA was one of Weinstein’s first major inter­na­tio­nal com­mis­si­ons and beca­me a defi­ning mile­stone in his career.

the catering

Tog­e­ther, we crea­te events whe­re archi­tec­tu­re, atmo­sphe­re and cui­sine come tog­e­ther to form a har­mo­nious whole.

Hof­lie­fe­ran­ten Ber­lin crea­tes culina­ry expe­ri­en­ces for events at AXICA: regio­nal, sea­so­nal and pre­pared in-house. The cui­sine is firm­ly roo­ted in Ber­lin and Bran­den­burg and brings the region’s diver­si­ty to the table in a con­tem­po­ra­ry way – from busi­ness mee­tings and con­fe­ren­ces to evening galas.

A par­ti­cu­lar focus is on vege­ta­ri­an and vegan dis­hes. At AXICA, we thus offer cate­ring that con­sis­t­ent­ly com­bi­nes enjoy­ment, sus­taina­bi­li­ty and quality.

When you book your event at AXICA, you auto­ma­ti­cal­ly choo­se cate­ring by Hof­lie­fe­ran­ten Ber­lin – and with it, an event that is as impres­si­ve in culina­ry terms as the venue itself.
