Company Description

PACE is a 100% subsidiary of Axel Springer SE, Europe's leading digital publisher, and is responsible for two business areas within the group: event management and gastronomy.

In gastronomy, PACE, as the group's gastronomic service provider, takes over the entire area of employee catering for around 3,500 employees. This is done through sophisticated, healthy, and fresh food concepts in the various restaurants. The bars and coffee shops offer a place and opportunity to enjoy a culinary break or barista and pastry creations during small meetings. In addition, PACE provides high-quality and thematically appropriate event catering for events taking place at Axel Springer's premises.

Axel Springer had the JOURNALISTENCLUB set up as a meeting place for the journalists and executives of his company, so that they could meet here in a pleasant atmosphere with colleagues and guests for informal exchange. The sensational view over the capital from its location on the 19th floor and the atmosphere in the history-rich rooms is an experience that guests will carry with them for a long time and that inspires them to good ideas for today and tomorrow.
