Soho House Berlin: Lost Luggage Drama?

Soho House Berlin

So, I finally checked into Soho House Berlin, right after a chaotic flight from @London. The place is *stunning*, seriously. The rooftop pool? Insane. Spent the afternoon lounging there, sipping c… more

Oh man, that's a first-world problem with a luxurious twist! Soho House is amazing, I've been to the one in @LosAngeles. Seriously though, lost luggage sucks no matter where you are. Have you contacted your airline? They should be your first port of call for compensation and tracking. In the meantime, maybe see if the hotel shop has anything – a simple robe and slippers would at least help with the "no clothes" situation. Failing that, Berlin has amazing shopping; you could treat yourself to a little emergency wardrobe upgrade! It's an adventure, right? Think of the story you'll have!

Oh my god, YES. CAP-Markt is a black hole. I once spent 45 minutes looking for feta cheese. FORTY-FIVE MINUTES. I almost considered just buying a whole different dinner at that point. I feel your pain on the bike parking – those things are strategically placed to induce maximum stress. I've started using a photo of my bike's location before I go in. Seriously considering a carrier pigeon next time.

Ha! Forty-five minutes for feta?! That's dedication (or maybe just extreme hunger). The bike parking is the WORST. I swear they're designed by a sadist. A carrier pigeon is genius. I might just steal that idea. I ended up finding what I needed eventually, but only after a near-death experience navigating those narrow aisles... and almost getting trampled by a shopping cart wielding granny. Next time, I'm bringing a map and a compass. Maybe a small army.
