The house
IHGModernist conference high-rise
The hotel operates as a bustling West Berlin hub, handling international summits and major conferences with seasoned efficiency.
What it’s good at
Notable
A protected 1958 modernist landmark designed by Pereira and Luckman beside Tiergarten.
What they say
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
A monolith near the Tiergarten and zoological gardens, but a bit off the beaten track… provides all the makings of a posh modern stay.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Tiergarten spreads out just across the Landwehrkanal, and Kurfürstendamm is a short walk to the west.

The rooms
Spacious rooms look out over the Zoological Garden or the diplomatic quarter, backed by sleek modern bathrooms.
The pool and gym
Bring a swimsuit.
A heated indoor pool sits beneath vaulted timber ceilings, joined by a mosaic whirlpool and two 24-hour fitness rooms.
The spa
Treatment rooms host massages and cosmetic therapies, opening out onto a leafy wooden sun terrace.
Marlene Bar & Restaurant
Dark wood paneling and brass surround a long marble cocktail counter named in honor of Marlene Dietrich.
At the table
The 14th-floor Hugos serves Michelin-starred dinners overlooking the skyline, and breakfast sits beneath a stained-glass dome at L.A. Cafe.
How it began
Conrad Hilton opened the hotel in 1958 as his first German outpost, on land that once belonged to the zoo.

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

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

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.

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.
