What it’s good at
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
it’s a luxe vision, with lines as clean as you expect from modern German design, mixed with a touch of plushness that at times recalls London or New York.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Spittelmarkt station sits just outside the doors. Gendarmenmarkt and the shops along Friedrichstrasse are an easy stroll away.
The rooms
Bedrooms favor tailored neutrals and uncluttered layouts, with streamlined bathrooms designed in collaboration with Keuco.
The gym and sauna
Cardio machines and dumbbells stand in the fitness room, and a Finnish sauna helps guests unwind.
scent Restaurant
Tall windows look onto the adjacent park, and white-clothed tables host daily breakfast buffets and made-to-order morning dishes.
At the table
Plush velvet stools line the illuminated counter at COSMO Bar, where bartenders pour craft drinks and wine.
How it began
Allianz developed the building as speculative offices, but it became a hotel in 2010 before any corporate tenants moved in.
