Pink Pillow

As part of the pink pillow Berlin Collection we are sending a clear signal in favour of openness, respect and active hospitality towards LGBTIAQ+ guests. The Berlin Tourismus & Kongress GmbH initiative brings together hotels that actively promote a non-discriminatory and welcoming environment.

For us, hospitality means that everyone feels safe, seen and respected here, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. With our pink pillow partnership, we want to make visible what we stand for at MOA: diversity, tolerance and a warm welcome for all.
