The property combines overnight accommodation with an extensive on-site events infrastructure, comprising 11 flexible event spaces ranging from a 32 m² conference room (up to 16 people) to the 280 m² Auditorium AB (up to 330 people), collectively hosting up to 1,000 events per year for organizations drawn from politics, business, religion, and society. The hotel is affiliated with the Catholic Academy (Katholische Akademie), and the property's VIP Room is named in honor of Pope Benedict XVI's 2011 visit to Berlin.

The accommodation product consists of 26 m² rooms with custom-made 2.10-metre box spring beds and small balconies; recent investment has added Superior rooms on the upper floors with 43-inch TVs and complimentary coffee/tea facilities.

The property holds DEHOGA Superior and organic food certifications.

Hotel Aquino generates revenue from three primary streams: (1) hotel room bookings sold direct via the hotel website and through third-party OTAs (Booking.com with Digital Award, Guestline); (2) one-off conference and event venue rentals, handled through dedicated inquiry forms and a sales team led by Ulrike Gnade (Director of Conference & Events) and Martin Bartels (Banquet Manager); and (3) food and beverage services, including the restaurant, beer garden, and event catering, plus ancillary transaction-fee revenue from underground parking (€2.00 first hour, €2.50/hour thereafter, €17.00 per 24 hours). Room and event pricing are quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Technology is limited to standard hospitality integrations; there is no proprietary technology or AI/ML capability.
