Hotels in Mitte
Mitte is Berlin's historic and geographic heart. The Brandenburger Tor (Brandenburg Gate), the Museumsinsel (Museum Island), the Reichstag and the boulevard Unter den Linden all sit within a couple of square miles. Stay here and you can walk to most of what brought you to Berlin.
Staying in Mitte: location, transport, price level
Mitte has the highest hotel density in Berlin. From the five-star addresses on Pariser Platz to the chain properties at Alexanderplatz, everything is within walking distance. First-time visitors mainly save time here: the Brandenburger Tor, Museumsinsel, Unter den Linden and Gendarmenmarkt can all be covered on foot in a single day.
Transit is just as convenient. Hauptbahnhof (the main train station), Friedrichstraße and Alexanderplatz each bundle S-Bahn commuter rail, U-Bahn subway, regional and long-distance trains. The trade-off is price: during trade shows, the Berlinale film festival or state visits, rates climb fastest in Mitte. If your dates are flexible, book Sunday through Tuesday or move one district out.
Atmosphere
Stately, history-heavy, urban but polished. Tour groups by day, theater and white-tablecloth dining by night.
