What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
the hotel’s hip rooftop bar — laid-back but fashionable, with sweeping skyline views, manned by serious mixologists — is a destination in itself
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Independent art galleries line Auguststraße outside, with Rosenthaler Platz and Hackescher Markt a short walk away.
The rooms
Rooms keep to clean lines and shining parquet floors, finished in a quiet palette of white and dark charcoal.
AMANO Bar
Slatted wood paneling and velvet stools surround the dark marble counter, where bartenders shake drinks under glowing red lights.
One level down you’ll step into an underground lobby—the first of its kind in Berlin—a sprawling, thoroughly glam space outfitted in plush velvet seating, brass-accented glass tables.
At the table
A decked rooftop terrace sits under fabric sun shades, and the ground-floor dining room holds dark banquettes beside mirrored panels.
How it began
Founder Ariel Schiff opened the flagship in 2009, borrowing the name from the Spanish phrase for within reach.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.

It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

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