Martas is the joint brand of the guesthouses, hotels and conference center of the Berlin City Mission. Several hotels in Berlin, Brandenburg and on the Baltic Sea now operate under this name. The name martas is inspired by the biblical figure Marta, who is known in the New Testament for her hospitality. This is exactly what characterizes our work: welcoming guests, enabling them to have a good stay and creating spaces for encounters, education and recreation.
Every overnight stay directly supports the diverse work of the Berlin City Mission and other local partners. We are convinced that the best of the city can only be created if everyone is included.
