West Berlin holdout
Polished hospitality and classic mid-century energy define this West Berlin institution, situated directly opposite the Zoological Garden.
What it’s good at
Notable
Dedicated club lounge privileges and suites overlooking the adjacent Zoological Garden.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Ku'damm boutiques and Breitscheidplatz sit just around the corner, with Tiergarten trails beginning right across the street.
The rooms
Clean lines, quiet comfort, and contemporary wood tones define the guest rooms, with large windows framing views over the leafy zoo.
The indoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A swan-neck waterfall cascades into the heated indoor pool, lined with cushioned loungers beside a classic landscape mural.
The spa and gym
Technogym cardio equipment and Kinesis stations share the lower level with private treatment rooms and three saunas.
Dogs stay too.
Bar
House of Gin
Over 150 gins line the illuminated shelves behind a brass-clad counter set with blue velvet barstools.
At the table
Dining ranges from sous-vide steaks at beef 45 to afternoon tea and house pastries in the Lobby Lounge.
How it began

Welcoming guests since 1968, this City West address continues its run as a cornerstone of post-war West Berlin hospitality.

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene

Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.

Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
