What they say

In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Kurfürstendamm's luxury boutiques sit just around the corner, and Breitscheidplatz is a short walk down the street.
The rooms
Bedrooms are finished in custom American chestnut, with original contemporary German paintings in every room.
The spa
The second-floor thermal suite has a Finnish sauna heated to 90 °C and an illuminated ice plunge in brown mosaic tile.
Restaurant
Le Faubourg
Modern French brasserie cooking is served beneath brass drum chandeliers, and tables spill out onto a leafy summer terrace.
At the table
Breakfast on the first floor includes a live egg station, and tables downstairs sit beside an illuminated wine wall.
How it began
The seventeen-story tower rose between 2002 and 2005 on the site of a demolished C&A department store.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
