Which design hotel in Berlin is the most spectacular?
The 25hours Hotel Bikini Berlin in the restored Bikinihaus of 1957 is an experience in itself: jungle-side rooms look straight into the zoo, and the rooftop Monkey Bar has panoramic views over the Tiergarten and the Gedächtniskirche. Architecturally striking too is the Hotel Q! with its curved walls, where bed and bathtub merge into a single built form.
Which design hotels have a signature of their own?
The nhow Berlin on the Spree was designed by Karim Rashid and is Europe's first music hotel - with two recording studios guests can rent. The Hotel Zoo on the Ku'damm combines a restored period building with the Grace rooftop bar; the AMANO Grand Central stands for clean lines and a busy roof bar by Hauptbahnhof.
Where are the best design hotels?
In Mitte (around Alexanderplatz and Hauptbahnhof), in Friedrichshain along the Spree and in City West on the Ku'damm. All three locations are excellently connected.
