Backstory
Architect Tommaso Ziffer reinterpreted this 1889 Dresdner Bank headquarters, blending Prussian grandeur with contemporary Italian design flourishes.
Wellness
The former jewel vault now houses Berlin's longest hotel pool, framed by gold mosaics and original bank safe doors.
Eat & drink
CHIARO restaurant pairs Italian-Japanese fusion with a leafy garden terrace, while the rooftop offers skyline views of the Cathedral.
The neighborhood
Set on Bebelplatz, the hotel sits directly across from the State Opera and steps from the Museum Island complex.
“It doesn’t get much heavier than the Hotel de Rome, a converted 19th-century bank building off the Bebelplatz in old East Berlin — its stone walls and neoclassical architecture are a perfect match for the high seriousness of the Rocco Forte house style.”
“Many of the building’s original details—graceful marble columns, skylights, an intricate iron staircase—have been retained, most notably down below in the pool area, formerly the bank’s jewel vault.”
