Berlin Fashion Week: quiet moments at Château Royal

by Team RetreatPublished

From 30 June to 3 July 2025, Château Royal, our partner hotel in Berlin-Mitte, was the official hotel of Berlin Fashion Week. Under the name “Runway Recharge” we ran a station there for the guests of the house, most of them working in fashion.

What we offered

Château Royal is a few minutes from our practice on Mauerstraße. The station ran without appointments; whoever came by was seen. Four short applications were on offer: lymphatic drainage, a neck massage, chilled ice globes for the face and eye area and, on request, an infusion.

The three short applications each took only a few minutes, which is where the second half of the name came from: a five minute reset. Anyone who wanted to could talk with us about skin and recovery. No treatments were carried out at the hotel: anyone who wanted more, a longer infusion for instance, was driven over to our practice. There the usual rule holds: the conversation first, then the decision.

Why this, and not more

For the people who carry it, a fashion week is above all work: long days, little sleep, a lot of light and a lot of make-up. A few cool minutes change little about that, but they interrupt the day. That was the point.

Understand first, then treat

If you would like to place any of this in the context of your own health: the next step is a conversation.
