Philip Ibrahim

GM Mercure Hotel MOA Berlin, ex-GM Social Hub Berlin


Innovation, guest experience, and networking: Philip Ibrahim is a passionate host. Since October 2019, he has been responsible for the opening and launch of “The Student Hotel,” a concept dedicated to a community of students, urban explorers, and locals in an inspiring place in Berlin. The name was rebranded to “The Social Hub” in October 2022.


Originally from Baden-Württemberg, Ibrahim discovered his passion for hospitality during his civilian service in a youth hostel. After training at Accorhotels and gaining international experience, including an assignment in Chad with Kempinski, he fulfilled his dream of becoming a hotel director at the Mercure Hotel Berlin City.

Philip Ibrahim's leadership philosophy emphasizes interaction with guests and staff. In 2012, he co-founded the pinkPillow initiative with visitBerlin, a unique hotel collection worldwide dedicated to the LGBTI community, united by the belief that every guest should feel welcome as they are.
