Telegraph office revival
Historic vaulted brickwork meets Bauhaus curves under a buzzing glass-roofed atrium, bringing high energy to a former imperial communications hub.
What it’s good at

Dreimeta interiors juxtaposing raw historic masonry with Bauhaus references, polished granite, and custom duplex suites.
Remarkable
The 1910 imperial telegraph headquarters converted with preserved vaulted ceilings, historic columns, and exposed brickwork.
Notable
A glass-atrium cocktail bar and on-site Dieselhaus brewery drawing lively crowds across day and night.
What they say
Two Michelin Keys
Michelin
its style, which freely mixes stark bare brick and exposed girders with Deco flourishes and classic modernism, is perfectly emblematic of the historic patchwork that is present-day Berlin.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Step outside directly into Monbijou Park, with the River Spree, Museum Island galleries, and Hackescher Markt all within a five-minute stroll.
The rooms
Split-level duplexes feature exposed brick, soaring ceilings, and dark granite bathrooms, with upper windows looking toward the TV Tower and Monbijou Park.
The spa and gym
Strength machines line the wood-floored gym, and a tiled wet area holds a unisex sauna and treatment rooms.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
ROOT serves pan-Asian dishes and sushi under the glass atrium, and ROOT Bar pours cocktails beneath tall brick archways.
How it began
Conceived by Borchardt restaurateur Roland Mary, the 1910 building once served as the nerve center for Germany's telegraph and pneumatic tube networks.
