What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
The sleek, monochromatic interiors follow a similar aesthetic, but elegant art objects in white porcelain...pay subtle tribute to the site’s history.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Tiergarten's leafy paths are a ten-minute walk away, and the Berlin Zoo is just fifteen minutes on foot.

The rooms
Floor-to-ceiling windows light the monochromatic rooms, trimmed with clever built-ins and white porcelain crafted next door.
The sauna and gym
A Finnish sauna has wooden buckets for Aufguss steam infusions, set beside raindrop showers and a 24-hour gym.
At the table
Restaurant Dong A serves Vietnamese dishes on royal porcelain, and the bar pours cocktails beside velvet banquettes.
How it began
Berlin banker Jörg Woltmann rescued the eighteenth-century royal porcelain manufactory in 2006, later expanding the grounds with this hotel.
